I haven't had a chance to look at the Airbornes yet, but I did take a look at the General. The draw is an improvement over the Guardian which was the only downfall I could find of that bow, but it was a big downfall for me. However, you lose so much speed with the improved draw that IMO it's just not worth it. If you don't mind the draw on the Guardian, as many don't, that is a fantastic bow. It puts out very respectable speed and the silence and lack of hand shock are amazing. I really wanted to like that bow last year, but could not get over the draw cycle.
