This just cracks me up, is it alway about one brand vs. another??? Heck, I shoot a Reflex,(AKA out-dated Hoyt) because it was priced right, and felt right to me, and don't really care what anyone else shoots. I'm interested in different observations of new bows, because I'd like to have a newer parallel limb style bow after shooting a Trykon last year, and just about every bow on the market. I almost bought an Allegiance from a co-worker, but deferrred due to pregnant wife and unforetold future expenses. But I think the most important point is that the archer is happy with his purchase, be it a BowTech, Hoyt, Martin, Matthews or whatever. I think anybody who gets up on their horse to defend their "Brand" is a bit thin-skinned and overly defensive. I posted what I'd been told by a local dealer about Guardians' having limb problems, and it turned into a "hate-crime" against BowTech because it was assumed I was making something up. I'm not "brand" loyal to anything, (except maybe my Dodge w/ a Cummins [8D]), and I have no vested interest in making BowTech look bad, I was just trying to clarify why the wait may be long. I was interested in shooting one too!!!!
