Atlas what are your major "must have" for a bow.
It MUST be faster then what I have by a minimum of 20 fps.
It MUST feel good on the draw and the shot (draw most important)
It MUST be quiet enough to hunt with and not worry about.
I like longer bows, and I also have a short DL. If it were me I would go with the Allegiance. All things being equal I like longer ATA.
I can't see myself getting worked up over an inch or two of ATA length......I really don't see it making that much difference. If it was 36" vs 31" then I would be concerned......I had no trouble keeping the Tribute steady and it is shorter. I just feel like a maxed out bow might be better then a tuned down one. If the Allegiance performed as well at 27" and 60lbs then I doubt they would have even made the Equalizer. We will see I guess.
