The Allegiance had a buzz in the grip that I have seen others comment on.
I don't know where the buzz Atlasman is referring to comes from, because one of the reasons I bought the Allegiance was the fact that it sat dead in my hand with no vibration or recoil in spite of the speed it produces. I'm sure he didn't imagine it, but I have not felt it in mine. As a matter of fact, I shot my Merlin HQ35 shortly after getting my Allegiance and the Merlin felt like a joy buzzer in my hand. The Allegiance is a sweet bow, but I have to agree with what Atlas said about already owning a BowTech. If you have an Extreme VFT and you are happy with it you probably can't find enough improvements in the Allegiance to justify dropping $650+. If I were you I would take your Extreme VFT to the shop and shoot it side-by-side with the Allegiance. If the Allegiance blows you away buy it, if not you'll be satisfied that you have a great bow and some dough in your pocket.
Maybe I just had buzzy rig but I have seen more then one other guy here comment that they felt a buzz as well.......probably would go away with a good stabilizer but still something I view as a negative..........and also something my Patriot doesn't have.
Shooting my Patriot side by side with the new bows is EXACTLY what made me realize that there was nothing in the new bows worth upgrading over.
The new bows are great........but so is my Patriot.
I also highly recommend taking your current rig along for a side by side comparrison. You may be shocked to find out just how sweet your Extreme VFT really is
