Well I went to the shop tonight and I knew i wanted to shoot some bows, trying to help my decision of which one i want to get come summertime.
I shot the Hoyt Vectrix,Bowtech Allegiance,Bowtech Tribute,Diamond Black Ice, and the Browning Myst



First up the Diamond Black Ice:


This is a very sweet shooting bow, similar to the tribute in my opinion. Pretty quick bow, but did notice some hand shock, but overall a good bow. Not quite as good as the Tribute though

Bowtech Tribute

This bow is an excellent piece of equipment, shoots hard, no hand shock, quiet. I just didnt like how short the ATA was, my bow I have now is a short ata and i am not nearly as consitant with it so definately not a SHORTER ata than the one i have

Hoyt Vectrix

This is also a great bow, not quite as fast as the others but very quite, and a pretty smooth draw. The only thing i notcied with this bow was that it kinda wanted to jump forwards after the shot. Overall an excellent bow, no doubt my number 2 . Sweet Sweet shooter though, i want one just thinking about it but......

Bowtech Allegiance

Theres only one word that describes this bow....AMAZING. This is the best bow i shot hands down. Better than the ol Vectrix which was a great bow. I was amazed how HARD this bow shot and it had the smooth mods in. Well i was so amazed i wanted to see what the fast mods would do. I think I would prefer the fast mods, they are alittle harsher drawing and everyone likes a few more fps . Great bow!! and if i had the money right now i would have left with this bow


Browning Myst

This bow is a pretty nice bow especially for the price. Browning did a pretty good job with their forst hybrid cam. The new PSE hush kit does a pretty good job as far as noise and vibration. The back wall isnt as hard as the top of the line bows but overall im pretty impresed with it. I may end up with this bow especially if im tight for money.

Not bad C09, not bad and not surprising, there's a reason I own the Allegiance.

thanks for the reviews. I love my 2001 q2, but it just might be time to upgrade. I'll make sure to give the bowtech a whirl (can't believe i'm saying that). I've just heard too many good things about them.

Thank's for the review c09.I think I'll try some of those bows too.I'm a lefty too with a long draw,I'll try to shoot these soon and see if we feel the same way about these.

Cougars.....I am really interested in your review(s). Yours and mine are the EXACT same. I said the Bowtech shoots "hard"....and I thought that was hard to explain. The Vectrix.....I also thought it lurched....but not nearly as bad as the Trykon did/does.

I got myself an Allegiance in 2005, then in 2006 a Tribute. Both areexcellent bows in their own way--but today I'm still hunting with the Allegiance.
The Tribute stays home as I'm not yet ready to retire the 05' Bowtech.
Not sure I'll buy the 07--the appearance makes it a little harder to digest.
But I'll certainly shoot it, if and when given the opportunity.

Hoefully.....I'm picking up my '07 Allegiance, today. I hope I didn't mess up. I took ALL my hardware off the Switchback, last night! I'm hunting with my Allegiance, Saturday.

I went into the proshop to get my son a bow because he outgrew his other one.He picked up the ALIEGANCE.I gave him hell about cool looks not killing deer.Then i shot the bow! I had been shooting the same jennings carbon extreme for 16-16 years,and thaught it was still the hot ticket.MAN,I ordered one for him, one for me,and one for my other son.I love my aliegance.I dont go anywhere without it,And i hang it up so i can see it when i wake up in the morning.I cant shoot a group with a .22 like i can with that bow.Who needs a rifle?
