I've shot a lot of bows....and the new General is undoubtedly head and shoulders above anything I've shot for the "smooth" factor. I don't know how that will equate to performance, but it IS a smooth shooting bow. It's not as fast as my Allegiance, but it's likely plenty fast for the game we're hunting.

I have a history with my Allegiance, now. It'll be hard to put it on a shelf. I might get one of the new Bowtech's next year for 3D.....but I have a feeling the Ally will go with me into the woods again, next Fall.
