Shot both, and as far as draw cycle, the Allegiance has a much smoother draw force curve! With that said, it definetly loads up the weight quicker and has a much different draw cycle!

Noise was pretty much the same.

Hand-shock, sorry my fellow Bow-Techies but the SB has the Allegiance beat! The SB had pretty much no vibration and I would say that it was perfect in the hand-shock department except that the SB seemed to torque slightly to the left on the shot. The Allegiance didn't move at all in my hand like the SB did, but it did have more vibration.

Speed, definetlly the Allegiance.... no comparison. The SB I shot was a 70# bow set at 30" and set-up to shoot I.B.O. speeds, the bow wasn't breaking over 310 f.p.s. while as the Allegiance was actually hitting I.B.O. speeds with the hush kit installed!

Now with that said, I must mention that my sisters boyfriend and his friend both bought the Switchback, and so far, they have been dis-appointed.

First, both bows were ordered with 60-70# limbs. When they recieved their bows, they were maxing the bows out around 75#-76# so they could only back them down to the mid 60's#

My sisters boyfriend's bow came set at 64# and he shot it at that weight for awhile and the draw cycle felt great, but when he put that bow up to 70# it turned into a whole new bow. At that point, the draw cycle turned for the worse. The bow at 70# seemed like a 80# bow. The draw force curve seemed to have more noticeable humps and like I said, the bow felt MUCH harder to draw than it should have!

His friends bow was ordered with a 29" draw length and came with 29" cams which is what he shoots. Well, when he started shooting the bow he was anchoring behind his ear as this bow's draw length was more like 30" even though it had 29" cams!

These could be two isolated problems, but these guys are both incredibly dis-appointed and are really wishing they hadn't bought these bows! They are going back to the pro-shop where they got them when the snow clears so hopefully we will figure something out then!
