What about from somebody who's got both?
I haven't had a chance to set up my own personal Tribute yet, but I've been shooting the Allegiance quite a bit in the back yard this afternoon (got both of them in yesterday; you can look at pics of them in the "Look what came in today" thread). All I can say is "Wow!"
I made some additional comments on that other thread, but I am literally
amazed at how quiet the Allegiance is considering its blazing speed.
Of course, my Tribute came in with a birth certificate reading 320 fps for a 29.5" draw length... she ain't no slouch, either!
I guess I'd have to ask as well: What are you wanting out of a bow? The absolute quietest, most dead-feeling shot you could imagine with great speed as well? I guess I'd go with the Tribute.
Are you wanting the absolute fastest, most-smokin' shot you could imagine with incredible quietness as well? I'd go with the Allegiance.
