well after a lot of debatin I switched over to the Bowtech family . i went down today shot a few bows and Decided that the general was the best one for me. I am amzed how smooth the bow is whith no hand schock at all. Bowtech makes a quality bow and I'm proud of my General! Thanks to all of you for your input. I also shot the 82nd and the 101st. The 82 nd was the 2nd best and the 101st was third( just "too much bow" for my taste).
