RE: 82 AIRBORNE / ADMIRAL QUESTIONS
I really like my Admiral, it's everything I thought it might be after owning a Tribute for two years. I really like the short bows for hunting so I knew what to expect and it's a great replacement for my Tribute that I gave to my brother.
I've shot the 82nd and I just don't want to work that hard to shoot it. I could turn the weight down and get the same draw effort and probably speed but I'd have to live with that short brace height. My cold weather hunting clothes would probably give my accuracy a fit at the time that I needed it most so I went with a very forgiving brace height.
Shoot both bows and make a decision, they are both great bows at what they do best.
