Silencing the 82nd?
I have a Bowtech 82nd airborne on order, and was wondering what is the best choice for silencing it?
Should I go for the Bowtech hush kit (which is asthetically a bit ugly) or Limbsavers and string chubs?
What are the pros and cons of each choice?

I think you will be suprised how quiet it is. I have heard that you can adjust the short stop to change the noise a bit. I only had mine for 2 days and it had to be sent back becauseit was shipped with a broken riser, so I did not get to mess with it much.My new one (#2) will be here tommorrow!

This bow was the biggest waist of my money and time! I can't believe Bowtech is still pushing this bow as being one of their best! I highly disagree! Since Feb. 1st to today April 29th, I have yet to shoot any 3-D courses or turkey hunt with it cause I have had nothing but problems out of it! Junk!!!!!!!!

AWW MAN! I dont want to hear that now I have ordered it![:@]
What problems did you have with it?
Was there something technically you had trouble with or do you have trouble getting accuracy out of it?

Out of the box, this thing wouldn't tune with a Gold tip Big game 100, Carbon Express CX400, Carbon Express Terminator Hunters 60/75 or a Maxima arrow. I found out the cams started to buckle under all the energy. They told me my bow was dry fired! No way! Sent it to Bowtech, they changed the cams and limbs. Got it back, still wouldn't tune through paper or flight. Meaning, my Trophy Ridge Drop Zone rest had my arrow 1/8" from the inside of my riser and I still had about a 1 inch tear. I then noticed on my new limbs by the word "Airborne" my limb was cracked. I sent it back to the factory and they replaced everything this time but the riser. The bow still won't tune! I am selling it now. Want a great deal on a bow that has Viper Sights and loaded? Ha Ha Ha. I have shot five different Mathews, and this is my third Bowtech. This bow sucks. The Binary Cam system is nothing but problems. When you get yours, at let down, look at the upper cam, it will be canted to the right because of all the tension from the cables, and then at full draw, look up at it, it will be WAY canted to the right. These bows are under manufactured. Good luck!
