You're right I have an new 09 82nd as well as a new 09 Sentinel (which by the way is the fastest of the Center Pivot bows this year)
The year is early but at this stage the Sentinel is slightly in the lead for winning my Go To Bow Honors for the year. I honestly haven't chronoed it yet but will try to this coming week if only it will Stop raining.
Draw cycle is somewhat smoother than than the 82nd, but draw cycle is not a big thing to me. It is Super stable on target, very forgiving, & even though the 82nd will be faster the Sentinel has plenty of Speed.
IMHO I think the Sentinel could very well be the best all around Center Pivot Bow to date
