Default I Pledge Allegiance!!!!!!

Ok heres the thing,, I ve always bee a die hard Matthews man, and have had several, but have shot an AR-34 for the last two years. I have been thinking a little about getting a new bow this spring, thinking about the Switchback, but have had a difference of opinion with the local Matthews dealer. But I was in another nearby town today and stopped by a bowshop Id heard about, They are a Bowtech dealer, and I have to say that I have never even held a Bowtech. After shooting a few different models, he handed me an Allegiance, their new one for this year he said. OH MY GOD!!!! This is the sweetest thing Ive ever shot!! It was screamin fast, very quiet, and had absolutely zero hand vibration. My left hand couldnt even tell when the bow was shot. I have shot slmost every model of Matthews, except the Outback and Switchback, and this blew every one away so far. I have read in here that so many people love the Bowtechs and have always wondered why someone would shoot the Bowtech, when the Mathews cost about the same price,,, To all those whom Ive ever wondered this.. Im Sorry! I think Im a changed man

Welcome to the family.

You didn't bring it home!?[:-] You just left it there for SOMEONE ELSE to buy! Even after you bonded?

You KNOW you're hooked when you are calling the bow "HER" already.

MO_Bowhunter The shop was in Rolla,, It is Archery Unlimited, it is out toward Doolittle on the outer road. If you go down the outer road past Ground Round go a few miles and it is on the left by a cement plant or something. He seems like a great guy, and I was very impressed with his attitude and the way I was treated.

You might want to find another Mathews dealer who you dont have a "difference of opinion" with and shoot the Switchback just for fair comparison!

I too want to pledge my Allegiance! I got my Allegiance last week and took it to shoot at my winter league tonite. This bow is awesome, granted I am upgrading from an old Browning hand-me-down, but I was still able to improve my target scores greatly. This bow is fast and super smooth. I'm in love.
