RE: Switchback XT
The bottom line is you can kill a deer with any good quality bow.
That said,I LOVE my switchback XT and if I knew I could not get another 1,you would have to shoot me to get mine.

RE: Switchback XT
I love my Switchback XT... The best bow I've ever owned... I would definately recommend shooting the allegiance and the switcback... they are both great... one will feel "right".

RE: Switchback XT
I had both hanging side by side in my archery room last year... They're both nice bows, yet have some very notable differences. I won't retype what I've written, as a quick search with my name in the user box and coupling "switchback" and "allegiance" in the search engine should turn it up pretty quickly.
As far as cracking limbs, I'd say it's safe to say that none of the top manufacturers are having any more problems than anyone else, even though you'll see phases where it seems people are starting threads about certain bow makers. Most of these turn up to be false or embellished. I know right now, there's a plethora of threads on the forums about Mathews' new Slimline limbs experiencing a high break percentage, but I wouldn't put any more stock into that than I would others I've seen about different companies. Bottom line is the big-name manufacturers are all good.
You definitely need to shoot both of these bows, because as I mentioned the extremely different attributes each one offers.

Western MA said it well ..... one will feel right to you ... you need to shoot both, and whatever way you go ... no need to look back .... both are awesome bow companies ... as are Ross and Hoyt and others ...
