I don't consider myself a "Bowtech guy" as of yet, I consider myself a Hoyt guy who bought his first Bowtech.

I've had an Allegiance home now for about a week myself after shooting Hoyt and for Hoyt for 10 years now. I wanted a change and I had my mind set on a Switchback. I wanted the Switchback to impress me so much that I was going to get one. I went to a local shop and shot the Switchback and was impressed and always will be. I then shot the Tyrkon and the Allegiance and bought the Trykon, 2 days later I put it back and ordered the Allegiance. You can read more here. http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1421735


1. The Allegiance and the Tribute were the first Bowtechs I've ever shot other than Matt/PA's 2 years ago...I was impressed then. That being said, I've never shot the bow without the noise suppressors but I can only venture to say that it would still be quiet and hand shock free. A bow can only be so quiet regardless. I don't however feel there are too many suppressors on the bow, I feel they are tasteful, even cool and I know some on this site that have more on their current bows regardless of manuf..right Frank?

2. Again, being a novice on Bowtech however like you mentioned, dual, single or binary...in time tweaking might be a necessity.

3. I won't even comment, I'm not a fan of the Muzzy rest so I haven't played with it. I ordered and have the Trophy Taker Pronghorn.

4. I've put about 150 arrows through this bow this far, nothing but impressed at this time. This bow was the fastest of the Trykon, Switchback and Tribute. The Switchback was slightly nicer to draw but probably why it was the slowest. It didn't have the stored energys of the others making it smoother to draw.

Is the Allegiance a better bow than the Switchback, absolutely not, it is however different and holds more KE between the two with identical set ups.

That's what I've found up to this point. Plus it's awful pretty, see here:
