Honestly, I know in this area the 82nd or the Air Raid neither one were very popular. I liked the 82nd and hunted with it a couple of seasons.

I'd really suggest you go shoot as many models as you can get your hands on. I would also shoot the Hoyt, Mathews, & PSE offerings.

Bow choice is a very personal thing and what I like or what Ben might like could be totally different from what you like best.

I liked the Air Raid a lot better... I initially loved the 82nd, and the finish on it was exceptional. Loved how the cams looked... It was visually a beautiful bow; I liked a lot about that bow -- but its brace.

The Air Raid is just built to MY most-comfortable specs... and that's why -- to Dan's point -- you'll obviously have to end up shooting them to see which one conforms to YOU best.

But for me... Air Raid.

I am starting to think I shouldn't have sold my AR. If circumstances dictate, and I buy a second one, it will be staying a long while.
