RE: Switchback or Allegiance?
The thing about Mathews bows that irks me the most is the fact that they, for what ever reason, attach their limb pockets off center of the riser. Because of this they must machine little lips on the bottom side of the pockets to put a band aid on this problem and to provide enough support to keep their limbs square to the riser. Basically it's the same thing as hanging a platform over the ledge of a building. With out a suppot of some kind the platform would simply fall over the edge killing everyone on it.
Their Mathews grip does not compare to the Bowtech grips. At least in my hand the Mathers grip is torquy and the bow tends to naturally point to my right (I'm right handed). Bowtechs grip is a well designed, narrow, and round grip that fits very nicely int he pad of my hand and the bow points perfectly straight for me. I also like having equal length cables and a much shorter string length to minimize tuning problems associated with string and cable strech. Add to this the extra apeed in a very shootable and forgiving bow and the alleginace is the clear winner in my eyes.
