If you can come up with a recipe....for the 82nd at 62#'s......285fps (arrow)....without too much trouble....I'd like to have it. I might have to go this route. I "think" some of these shoots I'm entering are gonna enforce this.
Iprobably should have bought 50-60 lb. limbs[&:]
Might want to think about Carbon Express X-Jammers or Gold Tip 30X shafts.

With that said I ordered the 82nd as well

If you shoot 61-64lbs you will reap more benefits of the #50-60's. I picked up as much as 6-8fps on a 50-60 maxed at 63 compared to a 60-70 at 63. exact same DL, and setup.
We've been singing the praises of Bowtech Guardians and the like for over a year.
The first Bowtech I shot was a Tech 29, followed by a single-cam Patriot, and I've sinceowned two Allegiances, a Tribute, a Constitution, three Guardians, a Diamond Black Ice, and a Diamond Marquis before this 82nd Airborne landed at my house. I think I should be welcoming you to the club. 
We do appreciate the factyou've become such a loyal userin the yearor so you've had one.

Just curious... Why didn't you go with the 101st since you are setting it up for a speed restricted venue?

How's Mossy Oak Brush and the new APG-HD sound? Decked out with some Octane accessories!! I've been shooting Bowtechs since 03 and I am really excited about the new Airbornes as well as the new Super accessories Bowtech is bringing out. Am I excited about this year?
Just a little bit

I shot all the new BT's at ATA, and the 82nd is the one I am getting as well. I would never have said that based on the specs, but it just felt the best...so bring it on. Hoping to have it in time for a pig hunt in FL next month.
It was good seeing you at a show again; I keep forgetting how close you live to me until I see you in person. One of these days we'll have to hook up and do a little hunting together.

Well.....honestly....I ordered it before I knew it was gonna be such a big deal (the speed factor v. a lot of 3D shoots). If I had it to do over again.....I might get 50-60 # limbs. I just got caught up in the speed and didn't think about it. THAT'S the truth.
And Atlas.....I'm not defending Greg or anything like that. AND....I may be all wrong (Greg can answer for himself). BUT.....Isense a little bit of "spoof" when I read the review.
I look at this bow.....just like I did when I was shooting a Mathews SB and I shot the Bowtech Allegiance. I give up nothing.....and pick up speed. I like that. That's why I ordered one.
