For what it is worth, I have had my 82nd since right after last x-mas and think that it is a great shooter. It is only my second bow since returning to archery about 4 years ago. I am far from a great archer, but do practice while trying my best to use good form. I shoot the 82nd very accurate for me, out to 40 yards and will use it for hunting this year. I think that you will find that you can very accurately shoot the 82nd if you give it a try.
