No, no, no.

I guess I'm not making myself clear here, and that's unusual for me to not be able to explain myself in writing!

Again -- We're not saying anything's wrong with the chrono at all. BowTech publishes an acceptable "range" of IBO-spec'd speeds which it deems as OK to let a bow ship out if it falls in between those figures when test-fired before being shipped. In fact, every BowTech bow is hand shot, tested, measured and documented to ensure that the finished product at least meets the published specs.

BowTech sets the fps range for the '06 Allegiance at 327-335... meaning that every bow which comes off the assembly line is actually shot through a Custom Chrono Heavy Duty Pro Shop Meter, and the ones which won't hit 327 are turned back.

The "math" I did up above (and which Mike obviously did as well -- at least in his head real quick) showed that that particular Allegiance which you shot comes in on the very lowest of the acceptable range. Now, lets' be honest. Most manufacturers would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to have a bow with the shooting characteristics you experienced sling an arrow at 327 fps... What I'm saying is that for that model, that is actually one of the slowest Allegiances you'll see come off the line and make it into the customer's hands...

Again, nothing wrong with the chrono in your pro shop... and -- really -- nothing wrong with that particular Allegiance, either. I'm (and Mike is too) just saying that you can probably pick up another Allegiance which will shoot at least four or five fpsfaster than that one does...
