RE: So who wants to hear about the 2006 Bowtech "Tribute" ??
Can a person buy a set of 2006 E Modular Cams and retro-fit them onto a 2005 Allegiance?
Can't say yes or no on this one, sorry.[&o]

Well, looks like I may have found an upgrade for my Patriot. I really like what I've seen (so far) of the Tribute bow. 
Thanks Matt! Can't wait to see some pics.

Can you give us a little more info on the Equalizer.
This really caught my 26" Draw Length attention
This really caught my 26" Draw Length attention
Absolutely........
32.12 ATA length
7" brace height
65-80% let-off
Weight = 20-60#
Lengths = 23-26.5"
3.5 lb.
Looks like a little bit shorter and slimmed down Allegiance w/ the 40 degree offset limb pocket design.......

ORIGINAL: Matt / PA
6 bows total in the Bowtech line-up........all "Binary Cam" cam models.
Tribute (I haven't discussed the marketing strategy with anyone yet but my guess is that yes the ZERO ads will probably revolve around the Tribute with it's obvious shock / recoil reducing design, but the rest of the bows will share similar shot feel properties)
The Allegiance, Old Glory and Constitution models remain and have been upgraded and revamped to seperate them from their 2005 counterparts in performance and feel.
Try 327-335fps for the 'Fast mod' Allegiance with a 7" brace height.[:-]
Or 308-316fps for an Old Glory w/ an 8" brace height!
New short draw, high performance model called the Equalizer.....302 IBO speeds at 26.5" and 60#! It will be available from 23-26.5" and 20-60# and only weigh 3.5 lbs. This is no kids bow........it's a true adult big boy bow for the short draw length , low draw weight crowd.
The Tomkat package bow for 2006 is an "E" cam bow with a completely new package set up.

Sounds like Bowtech left me out again this year. I really like the E cam bows and I like the Allegiance and I would love to buy one but I need a little more brace in a hunting bow. I don't like the 31" bows so that leaves me out there. I guess I will have wait until 07 to buy a new bow. All I want is an Allegiance with 7.5 or > inches of brace.Hopefully, there is one out there for this yer that we haven't heard about yet. I really like Bowtech but it seems to me like they are forgetting about the hunter or either I am in the minority on what a hunter wants. Sure I want a fast bow but how about a fast bow that is quiet, accurate,with some added brace height and still around the 34" ATA length. Is it just me or would that not be the perfect hunting?????

The way to look at the new Tribute is that of a more laid back Allegiance......it's on the same riser. At rest the Tribute will look like the Allegiance at full draw and will exhibit very minimal limb tip travel. In effect it will behave very much like an Allegiance at full draw with regards to feel and stability.
It will not behave like a 'Shorty' bow. I expect it to feel and shoot like an even milder shooting and more forgiving Allegiance. It'll be the short bow without the short bow characteristics.
But everyone likes what they like I guess......I would hope you'll at least shoot one with an open mind.
Sounds to me like the Old Glory is what you would like anyway?....8" brace height mid 3teens speed. and it's 37" ATA......That's only 1.5" more on either end (compared to the Allegiance), and if anyone can tell me with a straight face that 1.5" of extra bow on each end is going to interfere with their treestand hunting vs. a 34" ATA.........
So we're missing you by .5" of brace height on the Allegiance or 1.5" of effective ATA length with the Old Glory?

BUT, I will give the Tribute a go and see what I think about it as well as the Old Glory. Sure would have liked to have seen a tall brace version of the Allegiance though..............
