The one that fits you.

Go and shoot them and then decide on which one.

If your shop sells both your in luck, if not a drive to try both may be in order.

You've picked 2 great bows to choose between- it will only make the decision that much harder.

For most people, when they shoot their next bow they know it right away. When you leave the shop without itand can't stop thinking about that ONE bow, you'll then know which one is right for you.

Just like the others have said, you must test them allout thats what we did. Myself and my 7 friends all got the Switchback XT at our local pro shop.

I shopped the Allegiance, Switchback and Trykon. The fit and feel of the Trykon XL was best for me so I ordered one. Hit some bow shops, shoot somebows, and you'll know which one will be bestfor you.

Yeah man, it's totally a personal decision. I'd love to sit here and tell you to go out right now and buy the allegiance, but it may not be what you want after you shot it. I'd shoot them both and see what you like best. You really have to weigh and measure what you want and figure it out. The best thing for you may be diff. from other people. In my personal preference I'd look at a bowtech tribute too. If you're in that price range mine as well try it right?

Like everyone said, go shoot them and see which one feels the best to you. Over the past2 week's I've been shooting the Tribute, Switchback XT and the Trykon. Luckily I only had to travel 35 miles to a shop that sells all 3 of them. Guy took his time with me and we also chrono'd all 3. It wasn't the fastest, however, I went with the Switch XT. Just felt good to me.
