My Pat draws better and has no buzz in the grip.
Are you saying that recoil is equal on the Pat and Allegiance with both being BARE? I doubt that although I have never shot a Patriot. Your Patriot feels less shock than the Allegiance because it is fully setup. With a simple stabilizer the minor buzz of the Allegiance will dissapear. I do still understand why you would not want to upgrade because the differences are not huge except for the smoothness (no humps) of the Allegiance draw cycle.
I have shot my Patriot many times bare bow........including when I tested it for the first time. I don't get the buzz in the grip that I felt in the Allegiance. The only reason I have a stabilizer in my Patriot is for balance. The Allegiance isn't like hitting a ball off the end of a bat on a cold day............but I do feel the shot vibe in the grip. I doubt I would have bought my Patriot if it had the same buzz.....without putting a stabilizer on it to be sure it would disappear first.
