I really didn't care for it much, wasn't sure it would EVER break over, but I was shooting a 30" bow because that was what the dealer had.

And no disrespect to Dan, but would you expect a BowTech Corporate Staff member to say anythingnegative about his company's product??? I would agree w/ him though, if you had a bow like that, the draw cycle would be something you had to get used to, esp. if you didn't like it to begin with.
First if you did not shoot the bow in your Draw length then you did not give it a fair shake. 1st one I shot was 2" long for me and I did not like the Draw cycle at all, but once I got it in my Draw length it was a different ball game.

Second, If I don't like a product I'll tell you. I am on Corporate staff because I have shot and Loved their bows since 03, not because they offered me discounted equipment to come over (from another company)and shoot their bows and hype their products. Like so many doSecond Draw is something you get accustomed to. They are all slightly different, and familiarity feels good. I don't like all the Bows that Bowtech has made, but they have always made a Bow in the last several years that has impressed me and fit me to a T. The Guardian is the first bow in the last 3 years that has made it to a Tree Stand with me besides the Allegiance. That should tell you how I really feel about the bow

The General is quite a shooter too. I took it to the local shop about a week ago and guys were shooting both the Marquis and the General. While I was there the shop owner took orders for one Marquis and three Generals. I never Hyped the Bows I just let guys shoot them. They sell themselves!! Hype not necessary. One thing I Admire about Bowtech is that they keep raising the bar and pushing the envelope instead of sitting on their laurels

Dan
I agree 100% with your last statement. When looking at the other manufacturers new 2008 offerings I see companies caught off guard and "re-releasing bows" with different names just to put out an offering. I think the last 2 seasons of bowtechs have just caught them with their pants down. All of a sudden adding a couple rubber dampners just doesn't cut it anymore.
