I shot the 82nd along with the Guardian, Tribute, Allegiance and Commander. I'm no expert but I was impressed with them. I shot the Allegiance with 80 lb limbs (it was set at 76 lb) and that thing is fast! If I had to pick it would be between the Guardian and Tribute. But I'm buying a Black Ice because I can get it 50% off.

I'm thinking along the Marquis line. The university is usually pretty generous with a Christmas bonus so I'll have to go shoot a long list of bows. That said I'm a big fan of my '05 Victory and I hear that the Marquis is similar only better in every respect.
I shot the Marquis too. I thought it was a very nice bow just a little longer axle-to-axle than I like. But everything seems nice compared to my '02 Alpine.
