Default RE: I need help?(General or 82nd)

For any amount of serious 3D and bowhunting the longer ATA Airborne is going to be much better suited for someone who is more of an advanced archer. IMO if I wanted something that was as close to a true dual purpose 3D and hunting bow I'd look at the Airborne 101 moreso than the 82nd. It's still super speedy, but a more forgiving brace height for those cold days or weird angles.
The General is considerably quieter and has less recoil and vibration but it's also giving updarn near 40fpsto the 82nd too right out of the box.

If I could only have 1 bow and needed it to do everything it would be a toss up between the Commander and Airborne 101, not the General and 82nd but hey that's just me! Make sure whatever you buy that you have shot it if at all possible and you are buying it because it feels right to you........not me. But you asked. LOL

You will also find that longer ATA bows and their geometry make them much better suited to proper form and references within your form.
