Maybe I'm one of the few that dislikes the 101st. Like I stated in one of the other forums (along with a few other people) the bow just makes a weird noise during the shot. I have shot two different 101st at two different shops, and they both made a noticeablethumping noise on the shot (and not the arrow hitting the target). I was trying out both the X-Force Dream Season and the 101st, and even one of the shop guys acknowledged the louder noise. The bow feels very nice and stable in the hand, but I'm sorry. I just can't get over that noise. If you could eliminate that noise with add ons, then it would be hard not to consider. Haven't shot the 82nd, so I can't say anything about it. But if I were to choose today between the Dream Season and the 101st, hands down would go with the Dream Season.
