There have been a few threads regarding this bow, and the new 101st Airborne in the bowhunting forum. In fact, the General page is 9 pages long now I think.

Russ.

I shot the General this morning along with the Marquis.

The General is one sweet shooting bow no hand shock, no vib, no kick noand deadly quiet and that was bare bow with just a rest put on it.

Nice Video Gimp!:)

Does the higher brace help stabilize the short a-a any.

I have never been a fan of short bows.Just wondering how the center pivot along with a forgiving brace helped the stability on a short bow.

The video looked as though the bow settled rather quickly,I have a bad double set as many have seen and this is a must for me.

RE: BowTech General
 

Tman the bow does settle rather quickly.

The bow still can be torqued but you have to make an effort to get it to torque, I would say that it is not as stable as my Commander in full target set up but that would be comparing apples to banana's because I shot it bare bow except for a Hostage rest;)

RE: BowTech General
 

Thanks,it looks like they still have the very rounded grip on them.


I wish more people understood that just because this feels very nice,it isn't the most stable shooting platform.

RE: BowTech General
 

Looks good... I wonder how those new cams feel?

RE: BowTech General
 

I also went to my bow shop and shot both the General and the Marquis. Very nice bows!! I just bougth my Guardian about two months ago. Wish I would have waited. I am wondering what the pull on the Airbornes are going to be like??? If the draw is like my buddys X Force, they wouldn't be the bows for me.

RE: BowTech General
 

Will the release of the general drop the retail value of the guardian?

RE: BowTech General
 

No, since the Guardian is still in the lineup for '08.

RE: BowTech General
 

The cams on that bow are huge. I thinkthat improves the image over the Guardian.

RE: BowTech General
 

I think bows might be the only product I can think of that doesn't lose value when another more advanced line comes out.

RE: BowTech General
 

You also have to consider the Guardian has been a Huge seller and it is still cutting edge technology;)

My dealer said he sold more Guardians than any other bow in his history of being in the archery business.I don't know how long its been exactly, but he's been around awhile.

RE: BowTech General
 

Yeah but being a poor medical student means I have to wait a long time to get a new bow which means I just sit and salivate!

RE: BowTech General
 

i shot it sunday. thing is NICE. absolutely dead in the hand at the shot. i was surprisedby that. really impressed. real stable. i shot the diamond marquis too. reall nice shooter. fast for a single cam bow. i think bowtech has a couple top notch hunting bows in these 2. can't wait to try out the speedy airbornes

RE: BowTech General
 

Myself, I would rather have the guardian. I just don'tlike real short bows. Reason I went with the commander. Thats alot of performance to give up going to the general IMO.

RE: BowTech General
 

I just purchased a General. Amazing!

Like I always say, with the new technology, you really can't go wrong with today's bows. The General felt comfortable to me. Deadly quiet, smooth as silk, center balanced, fairly light (for me)...oh and fast!

RE: BowTech General
 

I myself went to my local archery shop to shoot a Mathews DXT and Hoyt Katera (decided to retire my High Country Carbon Four-Runner)...after shooting both for some time I decided to go with the DXT.

The Pro Staffer asked me "if I was open to other brands?". I obliged and he brought out the General. Ten shots with the General and I pulled out my money and haven't looked back. He said that he himself was an ardent Mathews fan for many years and went to the General. I've never shot better and am very thankful that I fall trap to "marketing". Go shoot it!
