RE: Tribute or General?
I would probably opt the for the General in terms of the pure shooting experience. No vibration, no recoil and extremely quiet. I have yet to shoot a bow that could match it in these areas and that includes some of the other current Diamond/Bowtech offerings.
The downsides, compared to its siblings, are that it is about 8-10 fps slower and it weighs a bit more (4.5 pounds). Still, it is very hard to ignore how it shoots. Truly amazing.
