Anybody shot either of these two bows? How are they?Speed? Handshock? Quietness? I was considering a Guardian but havn't had an opportunity to shoot these yet. I was wondering how they compare.

I have shot the Guardian. I haven't shot the Airborne yet. I'll get my chance, soon enough.

I ordered the Guardian AND the 82nd, TODAY!

GMMAT, where do you get your bowtechs from?

I gotta say I'm looking forward to getting my hands on an 82nd. I'm not convinced that I want one quite yet but VERY anxious to play with one for a bit.

I have always ordered them through my bowshop.

GMMAT and others, please let me know what you think about these once you get them. You will probably get your hands on them before I get a chance to shoot one.

Come on GMMAT... tell the rest of the story. You know what I mean about friends of friends with special discounts... Last year you were against them... this year you're pushing them.. And why might that be.[8D] I bought one before it was popular.

Does he mean your pushing them because you want them to sell. Gosh, I don't even know whoor what tobelieve and here. I know that a salesman has to sell, that's how he makes a living.I just want to buy a new GREAT bow and want honest opinions about them. I hatewhen someone tries to "sell" me on something.

Chase. I don't care what you spend your money on. I have one Bowtech bow. I bought it from my local bowshop owner last December. The deal he gave me on the bow is between he and I.....but it's sweet. I have friends who are on the corporate staff for Bowtech, yes. But to be honest.....they were friends before I knew that.....and I've never gotten a dime's worth of discount from Bowtech due to these friendships.

You get whichever bow you want to....and don't base it on what anyone else says. That's advice I'd give anyone.

Good luck with your choice.

I don't think it really matters. Bowtech makes a high quality bow. I bought a Pro38a couple years ago and I loved it then as Ilove my Allegiance now.

I much prefer the 101st due to the larger brace height, but a lot of folksare into the speed thing and I'm not sure why.
