I made a post like this on the bowhunting page but wanted to post it here as well in hopes of perhaps gaining a little more info from those that have not seen it yet. I am considering buying an 101st or 82nd Airborne. I have only shot the 82nd a couple of shots and it was not set up for me. That was a year ago so I do not remember that much about the bow. The info I am looking for is a comparison between the two such as speeds, forgiveness and such. So for those of you that have shot the both any input would be appreciated.

Thank you

what about the new bowtech air raid

I shoot an 82nd. I originally wanted the 101 but ended up with the 82. The 101 I shot had a noticeable twang on release, every time I shot the bow, the 82nd didn't. Draw cycle was essentially the same. I used to shoot a BK II so the brace didn't bother me. The extra speed along with the quieter bow, at least out of the two I shot made my decision. I haven't had any forgiveness issues with the 82nd. The bow shoots very well and fast.

I owned both and while they are both nice bows. IMHO the 82nd is the better choice for many. It is quieter, faster, and every bit as shootable.

I know you bought one already Ed. Enjoy!! If I can help youany moredon't hesitate to call.

Thanks Dan. I feel pretty good about my decision. When my 101st arrives I will tinker with it for a while and that will tell the story. I have sold my back up bow so I will see which one takes the back seat, Allegiance or the 101st.

Allegiance? Airborne 101st?

I shot both, and I agree it's a bit of a wash between the two. I like any extra BH I can get, so I opted for the 101st. I would like some more time to shoot the 82nd again, though to really compare. Either way, you can't go wrong.
