    Well, after some consideration, I ended up determining that the 82nd and I just weren't compatible. I dropped it down to 64-65#, and has 75gr tips in my 28.5" 340 arrows, adjusted the drawstop, etc, and I just could NOT get it to do what I wanted. I had a couple bows posted on craigslist, and a guy called and was interested in one, and stated what he really wanted was an 82nd or a Destroyer 350........He'd been shooting an AM32 Blackout, but it was just too short of an ATA for him and he wanted something LONG and FAST.....I told him I'd trade him even up barebow for barebow, and he said ok, so I'm no longer the owner of a Bowtech. I DID try, but I'm just a SLOWBOW guy in the end.

    Typical response from a Kool-Aid drinking Bowtechy follower;)

    Exactly what I'd expect from Doug.....:D That AM is a NICE shooting rig too!!! Not nearly as fast, but the arrows fly much truer. I think a big part of the issue was I really needed something in a .280 spine and I was using .340's. But a guy offered me an AM32 for it, and I just couldn't resist...... I own the TWO best shooting bows I've ever shot......:woot: I'd still like to have a Diamond Black Ice though, as it's in my top 5......:wave:
