I will be purchusing one of these bows come next month. I have went to my proshop and shot them numerous times. I just can't really decide on which one i like better. I like the extra speed i get out of the allegiance but it has noticible more handshock and is louderthan the Gaurdian. The Guardian was a dream to shoot it was just so quite and dead in the hand. I want a bow that i can Hunt and Shoot 3d with because im very active in both. I thought maybe you guys can convince me to go one way or another lol because im in a pickle.
