Just my observation Dan, opinions may vary, I never shot an 82nd, but I did shoot a 101st, both seemed pretty comparable I thought, and I heard quite a few guys who liked the 101st a little better as well, but that's another thread all in it's own.
I'd guess most guys that preferred the 101st over the 82nd only shot the 82ndfor a short time or Never shot the 82nd at all. I shot boththe 101st & the 82ndfor about 6 weeks.They weresetup exactly the same before I was Positive (at least for methatthe 82nd was a better Bow)

I was one that was very leary of the 82nd in the beginning by looking at specs alone. I can guarantee you it shot like No other Speed bow with a 6 1/8" BH that I've ever shot.

I was Not surprised when BowTech brought back the 82nd, but dropped the 101st. Like you said opinions vary, but I would suggest to anyone that theyspend a little time with both bows in hand before forming a rigid opinion.

I know it changed my mind!

Most of us don't have near that opportunity like you do though Dan, I suppose that's probably where some of the "liked the 101st better" reports came from.
