Jeff, I'm not surprised either becuase when you shot my bow (almost busting my friggin nocks), it became a part of you and I knew immediately, it worked.

I'd bet the one you shot in the shop had the smooth mods in it. They usually come in that way. The speed mods are slightly harsher, slightly and still give that solid wall but with no creep...and faster.

That is exactly the way to look into bows. With an open mind and non brand biases. Too many go shoot one bow and think wow...yeah it'll be fine but without shooting others they'll have no bases to judge on. That's what I did when I bought my Alley.....

I went and wanted to buy the Switchback...but after shooting them all the Allegiance was just heads above the rest except that Trykon at the time but hey, a Hoyt shooter for so long it was still sweet...but the Alley won my heart.

Great review Jeff, one I can take for accurate vs, Hey I shot this bow only, it's the best....NOT.
