Default RE: Mathews DXT vs Bowtech General

Good for youMergrath, like I said, everyone's different. Most that don't like the DXT haven't shot it enough or don't have really good form (speaking from personal experience) b/c it does take some getting use to due to the short a-a and ultralight weight.

To answer the OP's question this is what I liked better about the DXT:

1) Much, much, much smoother and constant draw cycle. This is my hunting bow, a good draw cycle is very important. This was the deal breaker in a nut shell for me when it came to the General. I thought I could get used to it but never did.
2) Lighter and easier to maneuver in tight spots. The weight difference between the two isn't much on paper but shoot them side by side for a long timeor hold each one at full draw for a minute and you'll realize there's a BIG difference.

No doubtthe General is shock free and if that's important to you then the General wins hands down. It's a consideration to me but not the deciding factor. All in all, I just shoot the DXT better, and yes it is accurate at long distances but it'll tell on you if you're form isn't correct.

Just shoot 'em both and see what YOU think, better yet do what I did and BUY them both. That's the only real way to tell which is best for you. You can only do so much in a pro shop.
