Default RE: So who has/shoots/handled an 82nd Airborne?

I shoot a 101st at ~61lbs (60lb limbs maxed out), and I've also shot Rob's 82nd at I believe 63-64lbs, and both were identical in their draw cycle (understandably so). I actually prefer the more definitive wall with a smaller valley. It forces me to anchor and hold consistently with little creep. These bows are shooters, and just like has been mentioned already, you can get great speeds even shooting lower poundage. So if you're not comfortable with the more aggressive draw cycle at 65 or 70lbs, take it down into the upper 50s, and as long as you're not a super small DL guy, you're going to still be shooting great speeds with a more comfortable draw.

In short, I love my 101st, and I will be shooting 3D with it this year as well as a little Vegas.
