just a question. isn't 270 fast enough? I shoot the bowtech tribute, w/413 gr arrows @ 277 @66#. I have seen someone shoot a guardian w/380gr arrows,& they were flying @ 301. how fast do they need to fly for you. As for bowtech, they have great customer service,& they are coming up something amazing next yr. they are on the forefront of bow designs, & engineering. But ultimately, u have 2 buy what feels the best to you. how if feels in your hand, go w/your gut. I too shot about 6-7 different manufacturers bows. out of bowtech, I shot the guardian, allegiance, & tribute. The ally & guardian where the really hot bows back then, but I liked the tribute & went with it. I liked the short ata, the looks of the bow, how quiet it is, pulls easy& it shoots great. by far I think that bow is the best that bowtech has built. good luck w/your venture, & let us know what u go with.
