RE: Played around with an Elite E-500 today.
Don - For moral/ethical reasons I would choose the Allegiance over the E-500. If the company hadn't been founded by who it was or on the grounds it was, it would be a much more difficult decision. However, they are both fantastic bows, I'm just partial to my Bowtech.
I have to admit, the anodized black riser with camo limbs looked hot.
Coug - Not necessarily true. The Cardiac is much stiffer to draw than either the Allegiance with speed mods or the E-500 and its a single cam! I don't know, bud. Different strokes, y'know?
