Admiral or Captain????
 

Which would you buy?

RE: Admiral or Captain????
 

Captain. Im 6'3" so the longer ATA is a little better for me. The draw is smoother too.

I chose the captain for myself.

RE: Admiral or Captain????
 

2-0 for the captain!!! Anyone else?

RE: Admiral or Captain????
 

which of the two is more forgiving?

RE: Admiral or Captain????
 

I would also choose the Captain. It has a smoother draw and it is just as quiet and shock free as the Admiral. Plus i like the little extra AtA.

RE: Admiral or Captain????
 

The captain for most (unless your a machine of course) b/c of its longer ATA.

Captain really is a smooth drawing nice bow.

RE: Admiral or Captain????
 

I have 2 of the 09 Center Pivot bows.

I chose the Captain and the Sentinel;)

I'm not a fan of the super short bows.

I had a hard time making up my mind but i got the admiral------------------------then got the captain!
I do think that the captain shoots better for me,but both shoot good.the admiral will be lighter to pack around if you spot and stock

Went to my bow shop last weekend and tried a new Captain out. Came home with the darn thing! I had a Commander and a Guardian, both 2007 models. I ended up selling the Commander. I just like shorter A2A bows for my needs. I got the Captain all set up and put about 250 shots through it to get everything settled in, then made sure the poundage was right at 70lbs. Took it and my Guardian, which I checked the poundage on it to be at 70lbs also, and shot both through my chrono to see how they stacked up. Both were set at a 29" draw. The Captain shot about 15-fps faster with whatever arrows I shot through them. I little smother draw with the Captain, and more dead at the shot. A really really nice shooting bow. Bowtech really did a nice job on the finish too. I can not find a blemish or bad spot anywhere. Just might get an Admiral now to replace the Guardian. If the wife doesn't shoot me with her Equalizer first! [/align]

How I wish to have your problems....Did you try the Sentinel?

RE: Admiral or Captain????
 

I've been shootingmy Sentinel a lot this week and it is nice! It's the fastest of the Center Pivot bows and definitely a tack driver.

It comes without saying that it's quiet and vibration free. It is a little longer at 36 3/4" A to A but I actually prefer the longer bows. I think I may try Turkeys out of a blind with it.

It's hard to believe a bow under 37" is considered long today;)

Yeah, the Captain is a sweet shooting bow! I love mine!!

RE: Admiral or Captain????
 

I haven't been to a shop that has had a Sentinel yet. I'd like to shoot one, but I'm not sorry I
sold my Commander. I just like a little shorter bow. The Captain fits me pretty darn good!
