It depends on what type of shooter you are? I'm a Bowtech/Diamond fan so I would suggest the Black Ice or Allegiance but again, what feels right to you? Maybe you can withstand the harsher draw of the Airborne's and shoot them accurately then I say go for them! Pesonally, and I know we arent talking about me here, but I was seriously eye balling the 82 Airborne but it came down to between the Black Ice and the Allegiance, ultimately chose the Black Ice because it felt the best and shot the best for me.

Also, if your hunting buddies are Matthews fans like mine are, then be different and get a Bowtech. They'll be jealous, trust me.

Go to the local bow shop and tell them you want to shoot some of their bows,if they want to sell you one they will set them up to your draw length and let you shoot them,find the one that fits you best,the one that just feels right in your hand.I just bought a new one a few years back and this was what a friend of mine that owns a bow shop told me.He said pick what fits and feels right,reguardless of the name.Look at quality bows that are backed by good warranties,I shot several before I bought my martin and I'm very happy with it.

i love my x-force... but i shot the general andliked it but it was a little slow and very heavie for walking around all day with. i don't know if you know about this but your not supose to keep your bow in the car it will warp the string and do other bad things to your bow . just future refrence for your new bow

Lot's of nice bows out there. Try as many as you can get your hands on. Last year I thought I knew what bow I wanted until I shot it and ended up with the Allegiance. Bottom line is until you shoot it you will not know and for the price of today's bows you do not want to be unhappy just because someone told you to buy a certain bow.

BowTech! My Guardian is the best bow I have ever shot. I guess its a good thing that it didn't happen right in the middle of hunting season. Just shoot 'em and decide for yourself, thats what matters.

Do you think the insurance pay off will be that good??

Take the opportunity to go to traditional!!

Parker Frontier or Darton

Guardian
Spott Hogg
Trophy Taker

Sorry to hear about your old bow, but have fun with your purchase!!
