One thing I have noticed about bowtech shooters as of late is how arrogant a few of them have become.... sort of reminds me Mathews shooters. We used to say that Mathews came with a chip to put on your shoulder at no extra charge... why shouldn't it for such a high price for such an average bow? But some of the attitudes I've seen lately around the 3D courses and the internet lead me to suspect that BowTech might just be the new Mathews when it comes to crazy loyalists.
In all honesty, thats one of the reasons I traded my Allegiance for a Hoyt.
My main problem was with local shooters, especially dealers. Walk into any shop (Sportsman's Warehouse included) with any bow that isn't a Bowtech or a Diamond and the staff working will absolutely give the shooter a hard time about his decision. Pull up to a shoot or a range with any brand sticker other than a Bowtech or Diamond and you'll hear snickers and have jokes thrown your way. It isn't an attitude (locally) that I want to be associated with.
Small reason, but it still played a part in my decision.
