RE: the general
I just bought my General yesterday. WOW!!!!! I just put all new accessories on my previous bow before this past season. So, I didn't have to buy anything but a rest and a peep sight. I was out the door for $810. Had I not gotten enough money for xmas to buy it, it would have been hard to spend that much, but I'm glad I did. Within the first 20 shots, I had ruined 2 arrows. It sucks that I lost those arrows, but it is a testiment to how nice the bow is. My old bow, after 5 years, I could group 6 arrows in a whole the size of a CD at 20 yards. With the General, the second group of four arrows were all touching each other in the target. That's a big increase in consistancy. It is pricey, but worth it for a bow I plan to keep for a long time.
