Here are some details about the BowTech 82nd Airborne compound bow. As I wander around looking for a new compound bow I just might have to keep adding the details of some of the bows I am considering buying.

The 82nd Airborne’s mission is quick deployment in order to secure key objectives. Speed kills and that’s just the way the 82nd Airborne likes it. The 82nd returns this year with a stockpile of enhanced benefits the adrenaline addict lives for. Improvements like a redesigned roller cable guard to increase efficiency and prolong cable life. And a new, repositioned string stop that opens up the sight window and halts vibration. Combined with the proven technology of the Binary Cam system and the 82nd Airborne’s proprietary Zero Tolerance Limb Pockets, this year’s 82nd Airborne definitely secures its objective.
