THE NEW BOWTECH TRIBUTE
Well, my brother just bought one. All I have to say about it is HOLY CRAP. It's the smoothest most shock free bow i've ever shot. I know all you bowtech shooters out there are probably drooling over this bow if you don't already own it. Man I love the thing. Mine is on the way, it should be here soon. The one thing I love about the bowtechs is the draw stop. Not to nock down Mathews or anything (seriously) but the big difference lies in that solid back wall. Even on the switchbacks I've shot just to compare, there's no solid back wall, there's still play. The tribute is just an over the top bow that is unreal to shoot. Just thought I'd share the info and see what kind of input you guys got. Happy hunting!

I think it is a good design, however it is too short and I think a lot of people with 28"+ draw lengths will develop poor form because of this. I will stick to the longer ATA bows I think. My Allegiance is a bit too short too, but I will deal with it for now.

RE: THE NEW BOWTECH TRIBUTE
The thing you have to remember with the Tribute is that due to the extreme limb angles there is a very limited amount of limb tip travel at full draw. So even though it's only a 31.5" ATA bow it shoots like a slightly longer bow with extend limb tip travel.
I plan on picking one up to shoot at the ATA show next week. I will report back after I decide whether or not I will trade in the 05 Allegiance or not.

RE: THE NEW BOWTECH TRIBUTE
Rick, I agree about the string angle & it's awkward peep placement with a 29" draw and delt with that whenI used to shoot a Mighty-mite. That was one of the reasonsI sold it.
But now that I'm using a no-peep I don't see where the string angle will be an issue anymore. Maybe a shorter atawill change my anchor points some, time will tell (maybe
).

RE: THE NEW BOWTECH TRIBUTE
i shoot a 33" ata bow for hunting with a 29" dland think crooking your neck to see thru your peep is a really bad habit too, and the no peep really took care of it for me. my neck issues have drastically reduced since switching.
