I've got about a dozen Blazer fletched Carbon Express Terminator Lites ready to go. As far as rests go, I just might be ordering a Limb Driver from you soon.

RE: BowTech Airborne
Airborne update, Ok the local dealer got one of these beauties in today , unfortunately he doesnt have a module to get me where I need to be so I have to wait patiently for another 10 days according to bowtech. This hurts. I want to shoot one badly!!!!!!

RE: BowTech Airborne
Shop got a 70#Airborne 101 in late today. Just pulled it out of the box. BC was 326 fps @29" (smooth mods) Not Bad!!
The Draw is a little stiff but it was 70# and I expected a bow that puts out that much speed to have a little harder draw cycle.

RE: BowTech Airborne
Greg, The advertised IBO on the Airborne 101 is 320-328 smooth mods, speed mods come in at 332-340. It seems it should gain at least 8 to 10 fps switching to speed mods. That puts this 101 at a conservative 344 if it had the 30" speed mods installed
At any rate 29" speed mods and it should be hitting at least 336!
Pretty Quick!!

RE: BowTech Airborne
Here are my couple of questions. I know I could probably find them myself, but with all you Bowtech staff members in the house, I'd rather hear it from someone who knows. 1. Major differences between General, 82nd, and 101st.
2. I have a '05 allegiance at 27" and 70lbs. and love it, which bow would I be better off with? Obviously I would shoot all 3 and pick which one felt the best, but which one DO I GOTTA HAVE???

2. I would probably say the 101st Airborne. Its 7 inch brace height and binary cam design seem like the closest match, to me, with your '05 Allegiance. Speeds are probably going to be similar with a slight edge to the 101st. Noise and vibration levels should be lower with the 101st though because of the Shortstop string suppressor and the more parallel limb design.
