1. Major differences between General, 82nd, and 101st.
2. I have a '05 allegiance at 27" and 70lbs. and love it, which bow would I be better off with? Obviously I would shoot all 3 and pick which one felt the best, but which one DO I GOTTA HAVE???
1. The biggest difference between the three in question is that the General features Bowtech's Center Pivot Limb design. The other two have the more conventional limb/riser design. The 82nd and 101st Airborne models are more "speed bows" based on their cam design and brace heights (6 and 7 inches respectively). The Binary cam design found on the General and its 8.5 inch brace height give it a very smooth draw cycle and excellent forgiveness levels for such a short bow.
2. I would probably say the 101st Airborne. Its 7 inch brace height and binary cam design seem like the closest match, to me, with your '05 Allegiance. Speeds are probably going to be similar with a slight edge to the 101st. Noise and vibration levels should be lower with the 101st though because of the Shortstop string suppressor and the more parallel limb design.
