Bowtech Allegiance vs Tribute
 

Hello, any preference to either of these models? I was wondering what difference there was between. I shot the Allegiance, wowzers!! I can score one brand new for $559, obviously a great deal, any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

RE: Bowtech Allegiance vs Tribute
 

I just went through the same issue, which one to choose. I chose the Allegiance for several reasons:

1. faster
2. lighter for 2007 than the tribute
3. I like the slightly longer ATA, but it is still plenty short enough.
4. Shoots about as smooth as the tribute, not enough difference to really notice.

I bought the 2007 allegiance for 700. you would be getting a great price if it is a 2007.

I would agree,the alligiance is one of the best bows ever made.I don`t own one but if it`s between those two it`s the allegiance.I prefer long axle to axle bows for accuracy,and the tribute is short[:'(]short=canter

Thanks for the inputs. The model I am looking at is the 2006 Allegiance. I was way impressed with the way it shoots. I am thinking that even though it is the 2006 model, $559 is still a sweet deal. That was another thing I wanted to confirm and that was the fact that the longer axle to axle on the Allegiance was a good thing to have even when utilized in a tree stand.

Yea but remember with the long riser length the tribute shoots and feels like a much longer axle to axle bow.

RE: Bowtech Allegiance vs Tribute
 

In essence the 2006 Tribute is the Allegiance with limbs that are angled back more to create less noise, vibration and recoil. The riser length is essentially the same.

Either bow would be a great choice. One is fast but the other has less recoil and vibration. Sort of splitting hairs with either characteristic but noteworthy when comparing these two in particular.

I know two people who actually own both bows 2006 models and both saythat the Tribute is better. Reason for both is that they are more accurate with the Tribute. I've shot both and I like both. Can't go wrong either way in my opinion.

RE: Bowtech Allegiance vs Tribute
 

MObow hit the nail on the head, alothough i like the allegiance better, but the tribute seems much longer ata with the longer riser. The allegiance is faster and who doesnt mind a few more fps ;)

Shoot the Tribute before you make a decision...

RE: Bowtech Allegiance vs Tribute
 

the half inch brace the only reason I did get the allegiance. I heard correct me if I'm wrong the long the brace the more accurate, but they lengthing the brace height on the 07 model, man what the heck both are sweeter than the mathews to me!!!

RE: Bowtech Allegiance vs Tribute
 

In general, yes, it is. However, there are other characteristics that factor into the forgiveness equation such as riser geometry, axle to axle length, cam design, etc...

RE: Bowtech Allegiance vs Tribute
 

If you are getting a "good deal" on a new 2006 allegiance with the warranty still intact then go for the Allegiance.
If the deal is for either bow in the 2006 model, shoot & then decide.

Greetings! Well I ended up getting the new 2006 Allegiance, it just felt better and I loved it totally. The extra speed wont hurt and I just love shooting this rig, I am so glad I stumbled across this deal, I am just bummed that the season is over in a month, bummer! Thankfully the range is open year round! I am going to list my old bow for sale, its basically a brand new Reflex Highlander, other posts will confirm that that is a great bow as well, thanks for all the inputs form everyone!

RE: Bowtech Allegiance vs Tribute
 

Just another word. I just purchased an 2007 Allegience am very satisfied. I believe I have target practiced everyday for the last two weeks. I have not shot a Bow seriously in about 40 years. Cost $699. Would not change it for anything.

RE: Bowtech Allegiance vs Tribute
 

I chose the 06 Allegiance over the 06 Tribute, honestly the way the Allegiance shoots, unless you want a shorter ATA bow, I felt the 06 Tribute was obsolete in their line. The Allegiance just kicked it's butt. The Tribute however is a fanstatic bow.
