2007 vs. 2008 Allegiance
Are there any changes to the 2008 model? I am about to convert (from Hoyt) and I was wondering if there was any reason to wait for the 2008 models vs a left over or used 2007. I shot a 2008 with the smooth modules and I love the way it draws and holds.

The only way you'd be able to tell if it's a 2007 or a 2008 is if it's got black cams or silver cams... The 2007's were available in Hardwoods Green, so that would be the only difference if someone had special-ordered their bow in that color.

I pulled the trigger on a 2007 on ebay last night. I should get it early next week. I hope to have it set up and ready to for a hunt the following weekend. I hope this thing is as sweet on the range as it was in the pro shop!!

RE: 2007 vs. 2008 Allegiance
Well the new to me bow arrived today. I had to spend a little time getting to know it this evening. I must say that I am pretty impressed so far. I stopped and picked up a set of 28.5 modules and fired her up. First thing I must say is this bow is quick. I don't have all my accessories mapped out yet, but I think I'm going to like this one. I set the poundage on 64 (my personal favorite hunting weight) and paper tuned it. It is shooting my 370 grain arrows at over 290 fps. I haven't shot it past 15 yards (in the basement), but it is grouping well for me.
The one question I have is how to properly set the draw stop after changing the modules (I dropped from a 29 to 28.5).

I had it set a little long. I was closer to 7. I sure noticed a lot firmer wall when I shortened it up to around 6.3. It seems like the valley is pretty small at that setting. He who creeps is lost!!
Thanks for the info. I think all my loyal years shooting Hoyt have come to an end!!
