RE: Does It REALLY Matter????
I don't think it matters much. A certain bow may have a better feel to it but just personal preference. I think a lot of the things we talk about with the new bows don't matter much. The technology is all so good and so close you are splitting hairs.
String buzz, jumps in the hand, dead after the shot, etc. I shot new models last year from Hoyt, Mathews and Bowtech. To honestly tell a difference you had to really concentrate on every aspect of the shot from draw to follow through. You can do that on the range in a shop. Out shooting with your buddies I think you would be hard pressed to tell much of a difference.
For me it came down to brand Loyalty. I had a Bowtech, I like the company, they have a cool logo, ads, etc. I bought the Allegiance and am very happy with it. I really don't think it is a better product than the others except in my mind which was biased to start with.
