I purchased my Bowtech used from ArcheryTalk for a great deal a few years ago. For me used is the way to go. The companies always come out with a new model so no matter what I am going to be behind unless I want to spend thousands of dollars just to keep up with what is new. My 05' Bowtech Allegiance is a great bow for the money. You can find bowtech bows from 07-09 at great deals now!!
