Impressed w/ 2008 General!
I was finally able to shoot my new general. I have a G5 LE sight, predators view peep, I just threw on a quiktune 3000 til I getmy new hostage rest,CX maxima 3d selects, the bow is 70lb 26 " with loop. I started at 20 yards, shot a 2" group with 4 arrows. Stepped back to 30 yards; another 2 "ish group. Stepped back to 40 yards had two out of 4 arrows touching and the other two were also touching but about 1.5" away not sure what I did there (two seperate little groups) stepped back to 50 (now I am in the neighbors yard) (they are fine with it he shoots at my targets all the time) Anyway. I stepped back to 50 (gettin ready for Mantana in 10 days
) I shoot 4 arrows in a 3" group. I was skeptical because the bow has such a short ATA but as long asI do my thing It is there. This bow is also unbelievably quiet. I shot about 50 shots out of it and I am really excited to kill something with this bow in Montana. Just thought I would share.

RE: Impressed w/ 2008 General!
We got it in at work and I'm thinking we got a lemon.
Something in the cams, and I have no idea what it is, vibrates like crazy. I tightened down every bolt on the bow and yet I can tap one finger on either cam and feel it vibrate through.
Shoots like a dream, but I can't get over the vibration. Any ideas?
I won't be back into work until Saturday, but it was driving me nuts yesterday,

Yep.
I can shoot it, count to five, and still feel it in the grip.
The thing is dead quiet, shoots awesome (I busted a nock with the first two arrows I shot), but that vibration bugs me. I put an S-Coil on, just to see, and it was still there.
