I finally found a couple hours the other day to make it out to one of the local Bowtech dealers.


They had the General, 82nd, Guardian, all 60lbs, at 29" draw lengths (thinking I am around 28-28.5) so they were not exactly optimal, but I think it was close enough to get an idea of how they shoot, as I have read on these forums, the General felt the best, and the 82nd was hands down fastest (or sure seemed like it, especially coming from shooting a Hoyt Magnetec for the last 5-6 years)

My question is what exactly does the smooth draw modules offer as opposed to the speed modules?

The General seemed to be the smoothest bow, smoothest in drawing, and once I had the string back, if the string creeped ahead a little bit, it didn't seem like it was ready to go.

The guardian, once it was at full draw if I let up even a smidge, that string felt like it was ready to go, didn't like that at all.

The 82nd was pretty cool, except I don't know if I really cared for the hump just before full draw, I like a nice smooth draw when in the bowstand, the 82nd made me jerk to get it all the way back, maybe this is something that goes away with practice?

Will the smooth draw modules smooth out the 82nd? the General also had this problem but not as bad as the 82nd. do the smooth modules ship with these bows? the 82nd said 333fps, and the General was at 298fps of that helps.....
