I didn't shoot the Tribute so I can't comment on it. However, the Allegiance I shot, and eventually bought, had very little handshock. However, as I thought I mentioned in my origianal post, it does have more than the gaurdian by far. But, thats not saying much. I have never shot a bow with as little shock and vibration as the Guardian. The draw cycle just bugged me terribly and was the deciding factor in my purchase.

Also, just an update after owning the Allegiance for a while. The stock string silencer's Bowtech uses are, for lack of better words, incompetent IMO. I swapped mine for super string leaches and this made a dramitic improvement on handle buzz. I thought that was were the vibration was coming from and it corrected it significantly. I have a custum STS coming for it and will evaluate how this does with and without the leaches in place as well.
