I agree with MeanV2. I shot a fast GE Splitfire 2 for four years prior to purchasing an Elite Synergy this year. It has to be the best bow I've ever shot. Smooth, quite, and very fast. The Allegiance is also a very nice shooter bow with plenty of speed. I have a problem with all the concern about "noisy" bows. The Splitfire I shot for years I thought was the loudest thing around. (I was using18 strands of 8125in thestring, 28" DL, 70#, 390 gr arrow, at 296 fps.) It was loud to me, but I never had a deer get out of the way of the arrow. In fact the only deer that ever caused me to hit high, jumped a very slow bow. Or, did I just not aim low??? I've never had a problem with a deer jumping the string. Got a nice 11 point and a doe this year, both within 15 yards. Almost identical hits exactly where I was aiming. And I have nothing on my string to silence it except MeanV2's "string stopper" on the bow.

I ended my archery season over a month ago and haven't shot until this past weekend. Pulled my Allegiance out and after about 20 warm-up shots from 20 yds to 35was drilling a cup dead center at 65 yds with it on the first shot at that range and the other5 hit within 2 inches of the cup.At 91 yds drilled the vitals of a bull elk 3-D target. Would I ever take shots like that on animals, no. However ,just giving my experience with my fat bow.

I shoot all sorts of angled and body contorted shots and still shoot accurately and I know my form isn't perfect every time. I never did that with any bow I used in the past at that range.I use a short arrow (27.25" w/ a 30"DL)that weighs around 400 grains @ 72 lbs (284 fps). According tosome peoplethat should be a very unforgiving set-up and I had a4 yr layoff from archery. The bow is amazingly forgiving.

If you can shoot it accurately the more speed the better. You'll have increased momentum with the same arrow weight over someone that shoots a slowerbow and if you hit bone you'll be better off.

It doesn't matter if your bow is fast or slow, a miss is still a miss.

There are benefits to shooting fast. The more you practice, the more benefits you will see.

Every archer should strive for accurate range estimation and proper shooting form. The rest is just personal preference.

Back in the Mid 70's a 20 yard shot with a 2219 arrow would pass through both lungs at under 200 fps and the deer would travel around 50-60+- yards....not much different today.
