I need to stay away from........
the archery shops! Been thinking about traditional equipment lately but I made myself go to my nearest shop this afternoon. There I found the Matthews Switchback and Hoyt V-tec. Both look outstanding. I never got to shoot either, never had time. But from the looks and feel of both bows set at 65 lbs., and at my correct draw length....the grip, and the balance of the Hoyt V-tec really has me interested. This bow is really well balanced right from the start. I hope it shoots as well as it feels when I go back soon. Surprisingly I also found the Reflex Super Slam bow to be very pleasing and at $200 less I need to give it a serious look as well. Hopefully within a few weeks I can check out a Bowtech Allegiance to see what all the fuss is about. Dang bowshops anyway!!!!!

Couger, dont ya just hate that!? I did the same thing really. I had to shoot the new Bowtechs and from then on, well.......lets just say I'm patiently, sometimes painfully waiting for my new Allegiance to arrive.
I can't speak for the Mathews, but the Hoyts are excellent in every way. They're a great bow from a class act company. If I were you, i'd wait and shoot the Bowtechs. I have always been a diehard Hoyt shooter but this year, well, I think Bowtech has something for em.

I would strongly recommend you NOT going to look at the new Bowtechs. You will most likely come out of the shop a few bills lighter than you went in. I know I did. On the other hand, it is only money and you can't take it with you.....

Wow, I never thought I would see the day you switched from your beloved Martin. I think you would be an excellent unbiased opinion on this issue. If you do get a new one then it should prove interesting which one you end up with.

I shot the Switchback, Vtec, owned a Reflex and bought the Allegiance 2 wks ago. I was blown away by the Bowtechs. All of the bows were good and I will not bad mouth any of those bows. Shoot them all and find the best fit for you. Good luck!

I was actually not referring to a price difference, just the fact that he would end up buying one, as opposed to just shooting one at the shop. And I am pretty sure an Allegiance is not a traditional bow.
