For hunting?

Without question.

While the Guardian and General are both dead in the hand and scary quiet I don't like the draw cycle on either of them. This is, of course, a complete personal preference thing. I've never shot a Commander, but since it it similar to the Guardian I would imagine it would have a similar draw cycle. That leaves the Allegiance which I have owned previously and remains one of my all time favorite bows. I like the draw cycle the best of all mentioned, it is very fast, and with the right accessories can be made to be very quiet and dead in the hand.

Allegiance would be my choice hands down.

I personally shoot the Guardian. Quik,quiet and no hand shock.

General hands down, shot it, bought it.

X2!!

I bought the commander for the longer ata over the gardian last year,I shot them both and both were close,the commander felt better in my hands and I could hold it steadier.I love it,but I would have liked the gardian also I havn't shot the ally or general.

I bought the Ally mainly for hunting but have been shooting alot of 3-d with it and love it. It is a great shooting bow. However as far as smooth and quiet go, I would have to agree with most of the others and say the General. I like that thing so much I am thinking of buying one here in the next few months, well as long as the fiance says it's ok lol. Good luck, I know it is going to be a hard choice.

Have someone blindfold ya, and lay em all down in front of you and just pick one! They are all great bows with different personalities, heck throw in the airborne's and a tomkat, you will not loose I promise!!

I wont lie to you I just bought the tom cat and i really like it! I am a beginer as well and it is consistant quiet and comes with everything you need.
