Hey guys, as most of you know I just got a Old Glory and I still have my Allegiance. Well, tonight I was shooting with my buddies younger brother and he was having problems with his bow. He is new to archery and is shooting a old hand me down High Country that feels like a tuning fork in your hand when shot. This kid is a really good kid and has had a tough time since starting archery hunting this year. First morning he shot a buck and decided to let it sit a few hours, when he went back to the public land they were on and tracked it he found drag marks where someone had drug it away. Later in the season someone stole his stand from the same woods. Well, I got to talking to him and offered him my 2005 BowTech Allegiance for dirt (and I mean DIRT) cheap. I had it at the shop with me and let him shoot it for awhile and he fell in love. The bow seemed to fit him pretty dang good, the draw length may be a hair (1/2" or so) long but he is still growning. He fell in love with it and couldn't believe the differance in noise, hand-shock, vibration, and stability between the two bows. I know the kid worked hard all summer to save up his money and I didn't want to take him for a ride so I offered the bow to him for $300.00 with everything on it. He was pumped up to say the least and he is really looking forward to getting the bow tommorrow and for his brother and I to get it all set-up for him this weekend. I sold the bow to him with a Trophy Ridge Matrix Guide series sight, a Cobra drop-away rest, 4" Mossy Oak Obsession Stealth Stabilizer, Fletcher Tru-Peep, and Simms Camo LimbSaver Ultras.

I'll keep ya'll updated on how he does, its always great to see someone get so excited over a bow. Remember guys, not everyone has the money or people to influence them into getting in to the sport. We all have to step in and try to give back a bit.
