Hey, bohunter. I have shot both the 82nd and the 101st and purchased the 82nd. I couldn't tell any difference due to the BH. However, I am only a 27 inch draw length. My original concern with the 82nd was that it might be an arm eater with the lower BH, but the string stop eliminates that completely. I think you will be happy with either bow. And, I agree with MeanV2, if I was a 29 inch or longer, I probably would have bought the 101st. Good hunting.
