I have to agree with Matt / PA on this one. The accuracy difference in terms of forgiveness is negligable between the two. My 2 best 3 spot vegas scores currently are a 442 shot w/ the Allegiance, and a 443 shot w/ the Constitution. You can teach yourself with hard work practicing the right things to shoot a less forgiving bow well. You cannot speed up a bow anymore than what it will shoot at 27.5" and 5gpp.

Last summer my main shooting partner was shooting a Mathews Icon at about 280fps. My Patriot was shooting at around 300fps. There were many times I would hit the bottom of the X or 10 ring, and he would drop out. On the way to the target I would ask what he shot it for, and we both shot it for the same distance. Most of the times I have placed or won local events, it is by only 1-2 points, or even X count, so if 20fps can catch you one or two extra lines per event you have a huge advantage. As Matt said, for anyone wanting a 3D specific bow, that won't be shooting almost exclusively in ASA events, make sure your shooting at least in the 290's, IMHO it is a huge advantage. My personal best 3D score of a 296 (30 targets, x's as tie breakers only, no 11's or 12's) was shot at 305fps, a lot of those targets were 30-35 yards andI KNOW speed caught me a few lines that day.

This year, my Constitution will be shooting in the 295-300fps range for the open stakes, and my Allegiance will be shooting in the 310fps range for the HC stakes. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight........nomsayin?
