Wow, that is some impressive numbers that are being posted. i cant wait to see what it soots at my 31.5 inch draw. I also hope that it gets equally good marks in the accuracy dept. I shoulda asked the dealer what mods he got with it but i would probably be just as happy with either. Signed, waiting paitently...lol

Very, very nice bow.

Thanks for the advice Pabow. I called my shop tonite and they havent got any in yet. Only prob for me with the 101 is draw length. I'm at 27 and the 101 is bottomed out at 27.5. Will just have to shoot it and see.

Hello yall. I purchased a Diamond Black Ice getting to be about a year ago I'd say but I recently had 2 back surgeries and I am looking for a bow that I can have at 50lb draw and it stillshoot fast. I am 23 and have been shooting archery for about 8 years now so I know quite a bit about archery but what I am wondering is about the airbornes. How smooth a draw are they and just a guess about how fast they shoot at 50lb draw. I am deff leaning more toward the 82nd because of the speed but I dont know how stiff the draw will be on it. I have my black ice set on 50lb now so I know that I can pull it back with ease. If anyone can give some input on how the draw compares to the black ice or any other advice for me I would greatly appreciate it. I am almost positive but just to make sure the 82nd will go down to 50lb right? And as long as I can draw back 40lbs (state minimum) I will stick with a longbow and not a crossbow. Thanks

I think that both airbornes only come in 50-60 and 60-70 lb versions.

That is correct!

Hello all, I just joined this site as I'm very interested in this new Bowtech 101stAirborne. Has anyone chronographed one of these 101st Airbornes yet? I'd be interested on hearingfirst hand numbers, not theslightly inflated numbers that Bowtech puts on the bowsbirth certificate.

Also,I shot a Bowtech about threeyears ago, just before they switched to the binary cam system. I disliked the bow very much and switched to a Mathews. Ishot aGaurdian this year and the balance was bad for me, seemed like an awkward bow to wield and theY shaped riser seemed gimmicky (that was my take anyway, I'm sure it's a fine bow for some shooters but I'mtall). This 101st Airborne bow; however, with a nice 37"axle to axle lengthhas me rethinking Bowtech again. How does it shoot? what's thepull and valley like? I don't live anywhere near a dealer so any input would be appreciated!

If you check the link at the top of page 4, some of your questions will be answered.

The Airborne's sound very impressive, but in terms of a treestand bow...isn't anyone concerned with the ATA ?
I'm just as interested as you guys are in the bows, but manuverability(sp) is also a concern to me.

Things always seem to come full circle. Bows used to be 36-38 in. ATA , then the trend was to 31 or so. Now we're back to 34-36in. ATA. Just pondering.
