Getting new stuff is great...........I found myself in your shoes this year. I have an 03 Patriot that I could easily hunt the rest of my life with if it doesn't break.......but I was in the shops shooting the Allegiance and the Switchback not too long ago [8D]
I really didn't see anything in either bow that made me feel like I HAD to have one but they were great bows no doubt. The Allegiance was FAST nad the Switchback was SMOOTH. Anyone should be happy with either one.
I found out that I was still very happy with my Patriot
I am going to be getting into 3D shooting leagues this spring so a new bow purchase may be in my future anyways [
