ORIGINAL: Rob/PA Bowyer
atlasman, I can see your point in the disappointment.
I swear.......I thought this was the year for a new toy [:@]
This was my feeling when I shot with Hoyt for so many years. I just didn't feel Hoyt made a better bow than my 01 VorTec and couldn't see trading up. I loved the VorTec and couldn't put it down when shooting all the new ones.
That's what makes writing a review like this so weird........I tried to stay focused on things that guys who already own top end bows are looking for (draw, hand shock, noise, and speed)........trying to discuss these things with someone who shoots a Nova is not the same conversation.
Of course at the time, I didn't try another manufacturer because I was with Hoyt. When I decided to "retire" with Hoyt I also decided I wanted a new bow this year, I went out and shot the top 3 and was so impressed with the Trykon and Allegiance that I purchased both, sold my VorTec to a very close friend for a steal and he absolutely loves it now too.
I remember.........you had the Trykon at first but then realized your speed calc were off and ended up with the Ally.........in the end you got both (sucks to be you right?) My brother has a Trykon and it is a great bow...........he got it pretty bloody this year in the woods too. Funniest of all is my old Fred Bear TRX killed 2 more deer this year (with it's 3rd owner now) I think that bow is up to about 10 or 11 kills by now.
I'd be hard pressed to put down either, especially the Allegiance against these new bows. I'm going to shoot them just to see what everyone is talking about and see who knows their stuff
If you come home with a new bow I will be surprised because I shot the 06 Ally as well and compared to these 2, well.........I'll wait for your review
