(Blax1142) You made a great choice. I have two buddies that have the allegiance and we shoot alot and 80% of the time I out shoot there (protected brand

)but it was my second choice before I bought my Illusion it didn't shoot as good for me as the Illusion didthe grip was to small for me and it wasn't as smooth or as quiet but a good bow. and this is the Mathew switchback xt I sold

In no way shape or form did I go (down a level

) when I bought my Illusion for me it was leaps and bounds ahead of what I had. Now don't get me wrong it is a good bow but not for me.
