You need to keep it for a couple of years without buying any others.
I'm sure many people here do just that-buy a new bow every few years, sometimes 5 plus years. My good friend back home is like that/ He generally keeps a bow for about 6-8 years.
Myself on the other hand, as many of you know very well, generally pick up at least 2 or 3 through the year and then whittle my choice down as hunting season nears. There's been years when I've tried 5 or 6. It's more because I'm OCD than anything truly wrong with any of the bows I try
. I'm also the same way with guitars.
So if you HAD to pick a bow tomorrow, based on performance & comfort, accuracy & forgiveness, and rock solid reliability,, shot day in and day out for the next couple of years and if it had issues you'd just have to have a solid company and warranty backing you and get the bow fixed- what would you choose?
I'm in this situation-voluntarily- me and my wonderful GF (whom I'm planning on marrying) recently had a big talk about the big things in life we want for our future-We both have areas where we could cut down on excessive, non neccessary spending- so basically my end of the deal is this scenario with choosing that one bow.
Frankly, even though I love both of them for alot of reasons, I'd choose neither of the bows I own right now (BowTech Admiral, and Elite GT-500)
taking every single factor into consideration.
I've been thinking about this for a few days, and pretty much have made a decision, but what would YOU choose were you in the same sitch?
Pick a bow....any bow...thing is..
I would be willing to bet that you are gonna get alot of guys on this board that will tell you that the Bowtech Allegiance is "that" bow that you speak of. I don't have alot of experience with the bow other that shooting a friends. That said, I do currently have an 09 Air Raid on order and do think that it has the potential to be "that" bow for me. ASking me that question today, I would definately say that I could do what you speak of with my current bow, it's a 101st Airboarne by Bowtech. It just fits. I have and could, hunt and target shoot well with others but this bow just fits. It will be in the stable for possibly as long as your time frame requires, but I don't plan on having to leave it lonely. When I had the "talk" that you had with my wife, soon to be mother of my first born, we came to a compromise. Two bows are reasonable, three is excessive for me right now. I can live with that. 
heh..well it wasn't one of THOSE talks....we both are really good about leaving each other's expenditures alone as long as neccessary things are taken care of (you should see how many pairs of shoes she has, last guesstimate we did was approaching 100 
)
