07 Allegiance, pix & initial impressions

She arrived on my door today.

Your basic Ally here. #70, 29" DL, smooth mods.
Smooth is perfectly named. Very easy draw cycle, consistant until it snaps & solid wall.
DEAD in the hand at the shot. Very shock free. It is a bit twangy though. Maybe I expected too much, but also, I was only shooting as pictured. No STS, no stabilizer.
At 20 yds, I couldn't really appreciate the jump in speed compared to what I am used to. I stepped back to 35 yds and promptly zipped my first arrow 6" over the target. This was a BIG jump from what I am used to. I haven't run her thru the chrony yet, but she's smokin'. I shoot a 450 gr arrow too. All in all I am VERY pleased. I can see why the hype.

And just cause I thought it would be neat, here's a pic of technology meets traditional.

Disclaimer-Take my review for what it is. And average guy talking about his bow the 1st time he shoots it. I am no techie guru, nor do I shoot every new bow that comes out. BUT, I have been shooting bows enough to know what I like.

I like the Bow in the foreground much better!!!!!!!

Looks like your set up pretty good for this season!

Very nice Ryan...

Do you have any plans for accessories for it or are you just switching them over from the Martin?

Probably just going to swap over. I got some brighter FO for my sight, so that helped. I MIGHT put on a biscuit...SHHHHH[:-]But I haven't decided.

nice bow, congrats!!!

Ryan, your going to even be more pleased when you get her all set up. If I may, you'll be doing yourself a great justice if you add a MeanV to her. I couldn't believe the difference in my 06 Ally but I was being spoiled shooting the General and Guardian.

Great bow, you should get years of satisfaction from her. And a 450 grain arrow I wouldn't doubt you see at least 290fps and talk about KE...wow.

Congrats bro, I was glad to hear good from you.....I have a commander on the way, I am pretty stoked too, it has been a long 5 years since I got a new bow and that was just new version of my old bow. I have been shooting Darton's for 10-11 years now....I too will be expecting good things from the commander after seeing all the reviews on here....Good luck this season w/ the new bow...
