Josh,
Unfortunately no the Allegiance only comes in a 30" top end..........BUT the Old Glory DOES come in a 31" draw length.

It's 37 1/4" ATA Vs the 33 5/8" so really it's only a little over 1" ATA longer on either end, and a bit larger brace height at 7 1/4".......IBO speeds are just a tad behind the Allegiance at 315-323. That might be the bow for you if you want to kill tanks, or buildings, or entire hillsides or something?

Old Glory, that's the plan right now. I was getting about 285fps w/ some 415gr X-Cutters with 135gr's upfront for ASA (that produced 75lbs/ft KE), and over 290fps w/ my ACC 3-49 from what I was calculating in TAP. DL = 30" DW = 60lbs

I'm really thinking about shooting the Rocket Hammerhead next year with that set-up.

2005 Allegiance at 70 lbs + 31"+ 560 grain arrows = enough penetration to go through a Buick!

That's exactly what I had behind my target as a back stop, just in case it blew through my block target...

But for you fellers with arms... Mercy...

Do you fellas want to take a guess what Big Daddy has on order for his first Bowtech bow of the season?

What kind of numbers do you think I will get out of an Old Glory at a 31 inch draw length with a 70 lb draw weight flinging 440 grain Bemans? I haven't figured it out yet but I bet my backstop is going to be crying....Buick or not.

309fps for a tad over 93#s of KE...

I think I just saw your target run screaming over a hill into the sunset...

So, what head you gonna shoot?

Can you screw two Hammerheads on the front of an arrow?

That might keep his arrow from blowing thru.

Hmmm... I wonder if you could unscrew a pathfinder tip and screw in another head, offset from the others so you'd have 6-8 blades cutting a 2-3" hole...

Dang-it, Range! You just had to do that, didn't you? You've done gone & got me pondering now. But I've already bought an '05 bow. You're going to have to explain to my wife why it is that I'll need to get another.

I picked up a Liberty about this time last year & have been very pleased with it and I've been able to resist the excitement surrounding the '05 Bowtechs until now.

I always knew you were trouble.

Go with your gut. It's usually right...

That said, your gut told you you were gonna have to have one of these as soon as you heard about them, didn't it... If you need a note for your wife, just say the word
