I have both the 82 and the 101. I like the feel of both, but I am a 28" draw length. If I were a 29" draw, I would opt for the 101. With a 29" draw the speed will still be Great and the extra 1" BH will be a bonus. I am sure a lot of longer draw archers will shoot the 82 very well I just don't feel it's necessary for them to give up the extra BH to get more than adequate speed.

Just my .02
