I normally do not advocate buying something without trying out all the other options but I think with a 27 inch draw you will like the Allegience better. I have a 2005 Allegience and have a buddywith a 2006 Allegience. Both are great bows just depends on how much you want to spend to get one.
My wife shoots a Equalizer and we tried alot of other bows before she settled on that one. With a 25 inch draw and 40 lbs limbs a 325 grain arrow is about 257 fps. By far not a kids bow and pound for pound will have more speed than the allegience in the short draw, low pound range.
At 27 inches and prob. stronger than her you will have more options with the Allegiencesuch as going above 60 pound limbs and alot longer draw length if you ever want to trade up or sell it.
Do not confuse the Equalizer with a kids bow though because I have seen the group she puts out there at 40 yards and I wouldn't wanther shooting at me with it.

Hey....I hope I didn't ruffle any feathers with the "youth" comments. I just know that our shop sells PSE, Bowtech, Mathews and Browning/AR. We have a GREAT indoor 3D range......and we see some FINE youth shooters in there on a regular basis.
Given that this bow lends itself to shorter draw lengths.....it's pretty clear who MOST of the people are shooting this bow (AT LEAST in our neck of the woods).
Nothing negative meant towards this bow. These kids are good with......(just kidding).
Have a great weekend.

Sounds more like a dealer problem than a bowtech problem.

It's not just one dealer.........I called about 15 places, some as far away as 3 hours.
I find it hard to believe that none of them have those bows in stock as they are the two best selling ones.

Mathews would love to take the 2,000

Actually, Mathews DOES have specific bows they give shops that are DEMO models to be shot and handled by customers. I don't understand why all the big companies don't send out demo models at a discount for the sole purpose of test drives..............seems logical to me since no one is gonna buy these $700 bows without trying them out first.
