I'm going to buy a Bowtech Allegiance for next year....and I currently have an '05 Switchback. Money's not a HUGE deal.....but I wonder how many of you actually use your back-up bows once you buy a new model??? If I thought I'd use it for turkeys....targets....etc.....I'd surely keep my SB. If not, though.......I'll sell it.
Anyone????

I would keep it. You never know what can happen. I keep my 3D bow (Apex 7) ready for hunting all season as a backup, and bring it usually on the long road trips just in case. It's not worth not having a backup if you can financially afford it. I work too hard doing the 9-5 to not be able to hunt because of equipment failures. Just MHO.
I can't tell you how many people came into the shop this year during season with messed up bows, cut cables, bows dropped from stands, stuff like that.
Exactly, I never want to not be able to hunt because of a equipment failure that morning. Notice that's why I brought 2 bows with me to NC Jeff....ya never know.
At home, I have my own equipment to fix myself up quickly but when away, it's imperative to be ready to switch bows at a moments notice. Notice too how many arrows I brought with me. Let's say I brought the 4 in my quiver....and I fell on my bow breaking all 4....that's why I bring backup, bows, arrows, broadheads, etc....ya never know.
