yeah i shot one with the smooth mod and then the speed mod and couldnt tell a whole lot of difference. im already pretty used to the draw with the speed mod'd cam but if i ever shot comp of some kind i would. im still young so i figured id live with it or get used to it. ive shot it about 80 times not with only a rest on it. no sight stabilizer or anything. it is an amazing piece of equipment. i love everything about how it shoots so far. im ready for my sight to get in so i can dial it in. i honestly dont know if i will even put any other kind of noise supression on besides a stabalizer. and that is really just for balance. it is soo quiet. its not super fast or super small, its all about the feel. they built a great bow. its still very short ata, and for how loud it is, its plenty fast, and it is forgiving and feels great. i guess thats why i have it. im sure people say that about their pse nova bows as well and that is just fine. there is a bow for everyone and the general was the one for me. at least for a few years lol!! then it might be the newest matthews or anything. its all about personal preference and feel. just cuz i say its awesome doesnt mean anyone else will even like it. thats why you shoot many bows and think hard about what you need.

and btw, to any of you who are lookin for a new bow or want to be awed, dontpass up on a chanceshoot the general or the guardian. they are both awesome feeling bows.
