Default RE: The Allegiance has arrived!

First, let me say that I have not yet REALLY completed any in-depth analysis of the new cam system. My cursory findings are very good so far. The nock travel looks good and the cam lean is more of a glimmer of hope fatal in some eyes rather than a reality.

Now keep in mind that I've only received two of the bows - Allegiance and Old Glory. The cam lean on both of these bows combined was almost non-existent. In fact, if I combined all the cam lean I saw on these two bows, it wouldn't add up to as much as I've seen as a norm on an average single cam bow. And, for the most part, they perform well.

As far as the cam lean on the Dullys, AG is correct. The cam lean on those bows was 'designed in' and fooling with it without this knowledge can develop other problems.

I played with both the Allegiance and Old Glory tonight to try to decide which one I'll order in LH for myself. One of my good customers, who has the same draw length, was really leaning towards the Allegiance until I brought out the Old Glory. We both shot the bows back and forth and finally agreed together that the Old Glory was better for us. For our draw length, the Allegiance was just too uncomfortable for 'good' form.

Could we shoot the Allegiance accurately? YES. Was it faster than the Old Glory? YES - by 5 fps. Were we willing to give up 5 fps for a more comfortable draw cycle and fit? You betcha!!
