Thanks guys. SSH, that was great, exactly what i needed to hear. thats what i wanted to know. i loved the feel of the dxt adn how smooth everything was but i just wasnt sure if i was going to be able to shoot distance with it and be consistant. mean v2 i feel ya there, i know short ata isnt for everyone and thats why a lot of people (like me) would have a hard time buying a short bow, but after i shot it, i was turned around. i am shooting the general friday at a shop and i am very excited. i hope i can make my decision then, but from shooting the dxt, it is going to take just as good or better performance from the general. i will also shoot the katera. im happy this time going to buy a bow, i have no budget and am completely unbiased going into this so i should be able to buy the best bow setupfor me.
