Check out the 08 General, I think you will be surprised, i went in last week with the intent on buying the 82nd, and walked out with a General.

Thanks for the feedback guys, really appreciate it. I guess I should give it some more thought. I didn't think the 82nd draw cycle was too bad, but then again I didn't shoot it for an entire 3D round, although I know Rob has. Rob, what was your feelings on shoulder fatigue after the 3D shoots?

It's funny, you don't hear about the Commander much especially since the 82nd and guardian launched, but it still seems to be a highly recommended bow. I do like the looks of it on paper.

Anyone bringing a bowtech to the Coon Creek get together?
So I may form a opinion.

IMO the 101'st and 82nd are 3D bows first, where you will be shooting with perfect form, and hunting bows second.
In my experience....I'd say just the opposite. I plan on hunting with my 82nd.....but I didn't like it as a 3D bow.....even though I won with it. Like Frank.....the draw isn't what I wanted for a bow I was going to shoot a LOT.

Haven't shot the commander....but I own a Constitution. LOVE the Constitution (longer ATA) for 3D.;)

That was my assumption as well. Great hunting bow, not the perfect target bow. I'll wait to see Rob's comments on his 3D experience shooting the 82nd...he seems to hold his own VERY well with it.

No shoulder fatique, mental fatique but no shoulder lol. Hell Matt, I've been shooting my 5 spot with my 82nd, 60 straight arrows, no breaks and I fine after it as well. Mind you, it's 62 lbs but with the arrow (CXLSS) it's 330 fps.

I'm not sure how I'd feel if it were 70 lbs as I only shot it a couple times to chrono it and then backed it down for specs.

I guess I'm simply used to the draw cycle which I don't find as bad as some as I came from a long line of Hoyt's agressive cams.

Mind you, this is no single cam so don't expect that draw but you shot mine. :)

And I feel the 82nd is an awesome 3D bow, as one reason I got the bow. I've always shot 36" bows for 3D and was very successful with them. I was excited when I heard there was a speed bow coming in a 36" ATA.

But I digress, the Commander is an awesome bow, good luck on your choice.

Thanks a lot Rob. I'll be shooting either at 60# for right now, so 70# won't be an issue, as I don't plan to shoot it. I could see myself shooting your 82nd for long periods of time, but it was right handed...maybe a different story with left hand, but I was discussing this with Ben yesterday and I feel with as much as I shoot combined with steady lifting, I'll condition the new muscles fairly quickly. Thanks for the input...I'll keep you guys posted if any decision is made.

Get the lesser priced one and get yourself some other useful items for hunting.
