RE: 05' Allegiance or 04' Patriot??
Watch the Allegiance while shooting. I shoot mine every day and slip up often and have had a couple of misfires. The reason is thatwhen you draw, BAMM!! most of the draw weight is up front and then a short valley to a rock hard wall. While holding and aiming, if you become too relaxed and creep forward just a hair, its GOING AND NOW. If you finger happens to be infront of the trigger, guess what, chances are that you will shoot the arrow.
In all actuality, the high let off is deceiving. If you decide to utilize it and relax and aim, the problem occurs. I guess i am still getting used to it, but i have to really keep pressure on it while aiming.
