I agree with everything MeanV has typed here. An all around perfect bow is an Allegiance for the average to above average shooter. I however am driving tacks with my 82nd and it's quieter and so much faster with less hand shock than my Allegiance.

The 82nd is a speed bow without a doubt, at 62 lbs I'm getting nearly 30 fps faster than my Ally set at 70lbs. It comes with a little more roll over at the end of the draw cycle but it's nothing I'm not used to nor can't handle.

If I were to own one and only one Bowtech, the Ally would fit everything one could need for an average to above average shooter. It for however has taken a back seat to my 82nd, it's shooting incredibly well.
