...and once you get used to that, you will love this bow. I actually like the fact that it wants to go even more when you decrease the let off!

RE: 05' Allegiance or 04' Patriot??
 

Would you suggest that i adjust the let off? Is the letoff the same as the cam stop and wouldnt that adjust my draw length?

RE: 05' Allegiance or 04' Patriot??
 

Letoff should be adjusted primarily by twisting that top cable. The draw stop peg should be used for extremely fine tuning.

It is EXTREMELY important to have an accurate scale to weigh draw weight, and holding weight when doing this, as well as a calculator to calculate letoff percentage. If you accidentaly increase letoff past 80%, you risk having the bow "lock up". This is when the cams come past the full draw position and end up stuck there, which is extremely dangerous and will almost certainly damage the bow. If you aren't comfortable with this, I would bring it to a proshop and have them check and adjust it for you. You will also probably have to increase letoff to compensate for added pressure on the cable if you have a drop away rest tied into the cable, or an aftermarket cable slide that pulls the cables over more.

Looks like you already made your mind up but I will give you my veiw anyway. My first bowtech was a Pro38 dual cam loved that bow thenI bought a Patriot the year they came out I beleive 2002 and never really liked it couldn't shot it for anything, then a Pro40 dual cam loved that bow and now I have an Allegiance and I like it better than any bow I have ever owned. Smooth but heavy draw which I like does have a valley somthing the pro38 and pro40 where lacking. I think you made a good choice.
