I have shot the Allegiance since it's introduction and I have Loved it. I tried the Tribute last year and while it was a nice bow I still preferred and hunted with my Allegiance. This year I have been shooting the Guardian and the Allegiance but find the Allegiance is getting less and less shooting time. The Guardian is smoother to draw than my speed mod Ally (it's also slower) but it is the Quietest, Shockfree, most stable Bow I have shot in almost 40 years of Bowhunting. If you buy one I think you will be more than pleased
