I've had an 03 Patriot, an 04 Patriot Dually, and an 05 Allegiance which I still have. I could not shoot the 03 Patriot to save my life. There are a ton of guys like Atlas that swear by them, but I could not shoot it and developed horrible target panic with that bow. I also do not like the draw force curve of single cams and have since switched back exclusively to dual cam bows. The 04 Patriot was crazy fast with the BK2 cams, but you paid for it in the draw. After the draw it was a nice shooter. The Allegiance has a nice smooth draw, but it is fast so there is a build in the draw curve. So far it is my favorite Bowtech bow and I shoot it very well for my abilities. I can hit a CD with consistency at 70 yards, which is very good for me.

I have tried the 06 and 07 Allegiances and the Guardian. The 06 and 07 Allegiance with the smooth mod is a dream to draw. The 06 was not different enough to drop the money on. The 07 is very nice and I love the new grip, but the lighter riser yields a little more hand shock, which to me is a step backward. The Guardian is a sweet shooter that is dead in the hand and whisper quiet, but the draw is very stiff and feels heavier than what it is. That is no good for me.

So, I'm still with my 05 Allegiance until further notice. I hope this helped.
