Thank you to everyone who has commented on the General. I have been shooting a PSE Whitetail Extreme for about 5 years. It was a package deal I got for about 250. It was what I could afford at the time. I am now ready to purchase a new bow. I can now afford to buy what I want, not what I can afford. I am looking for a bow that I will be happy with for many years. It sounds like the General would be a good choice. Now, I have only been hunting a few years. The PSE was my first bow. Should I start with something in between and work up to this level of bow, or would it be smart to go ahead and get the General now and be happy for years to come?
