Well I am just a wee lil guy I am only 5'6" and and only about 115 pounds andI like The bowtech general alot but I can get more speed out of the Equalizer and recomondations on which way to go on purchasing a bowtech?

I absolutely love the way the General shoots.

If I weren't concerned about speed and was looking for a bow I truely enjoyed shooting, I would go with the General. Having a shorter draw length, you're definitely going to be on the slower side with the General. The Equalizer was designed specifically for people with a short draw length.

I like the general for the forgiveness........very accurate from what i hear!!

Yes, the General is very accurate in terms of forgiveness and hold. I'm very pleased with the groups/ accuracy it's given me right out of the box.

I can imagine more when I get her broke in and the feel for her.

I havne't however shot the Equalizer so I cannot compare the two. Tonight I was playing with my newly arrived 82nd Airborne. I'm curious, you didn't mention your draw length? The reason I ask, I've backed down my 82nd to 62 lbs and it's spitting out a 343 grain arrow at 320fps. Now I intend to go heavier for hunting but you get the idea.

I would love to shoot the airbornes hands down but I am one inch short of shooting thembut otherwise thats the road I would take.

What is your draw?

The General is down to 26", the 82nd at 26.5".

oh I did not realize the 82nd went to 26.5 because thats where I am at hmmmmm well I might just have to look into the 82nd and one more question whats the accuracy like with the 82nd?

I wouldn't overlook the Elite Fire...I have one on the way.

I haven't finished setting up my 82nd but at a slightly longer 36" ATA, adequate brace especially for a short DL, She'll be one hell of a shooter.

Until my Ally, I never owned shorter than a 36" ATA bow.

You'll get a ton of speed out of the 82nd at your short DL. You might be pleasantly surprised.

VERY nice bow. WE got ours in at the shop and it shoots REALLY good.
