Default RE: 82nd Airborne or X-Force???

I am shooting an 82nd now. It's the most accurate bowI have ever owned and it was a very easy to paper/walk back tune. I have shot the my smallest groups ever with this bow.The draw cycle is not harsh (60 lb) and the quailty is top notch.

With that said, I would not recommend it to a bowhunter. The bow is very sensitive to the slightest form deviation: I have shot it a lot from a tree set-up in my backyard and it is not forgiving. I have killed 5 does with from the treestand/ambush saddlebut it demands the utmost attention to form. My fear is that if I am presented with a shot that requires an unusual poistion or with thick gloves I might not be able to provide good form.

I would definitely buy a Bowtech but I would look for something more forgiving unless my focus was 3D. The difference is speed is just not noticable in hunting situations.
