BTW Frank, I'm surprised you don't have your Old Glory yet. Thought you would be on the A list, or at least the B list. I guess it's that long draw thing.

As far as drawing in cold weather I think the E-cam will pull easier than my I-cam. The reason being that if I have my poundage too high when it is really cold I get hung up at the back of the draw cycle, right at the peak. I think passing the peak earlier will help me out a lot.

I'd agree with Techy. With the weight at the front of the draw, you're using the big muscles in your back to start. As the bow is pulled back, smaller muscles begin to take over. I really like the E cam draw curve because it eliminates the hump before the wall. And any creep doesn't cause the bow to get away from you.
And I'd say Matt is much smaller than the pics would indicate. Go get him muzzy. [:@][]

Hey easy now instigators! How do I know Muzzy isn't 130# soaking wet!? I could be in some real trouble.
And I sure wouldn't want to mess with BM's arm snapping 155# of solid muscle.
By the way I did manage to finally punch through some wet toilet paper.......still working my way up to wet paper bags now. I'll get there though so watch out![:-]

Matt! I'm callin you out!...
Meet me out by the bow racks after work! (god I hope he's no bigger than me)
Anyway, Matt, you'll just have to wait your turn. Buckeyebuckhntr is first in line. He's been poking at me ever since I ordered the Allegiance.

I shot the Allegiance over at Len in Marylands shop (Macrotech) a couple of weeks ago.I thought that the draw was pretty smooth,low hand shock,and quite.This could be a bow that I might consider to replace my LX.
After talking to Len,he made a strong suggestion that the Old Glory would be a much better fit.The OG,for me,shot much better than the Allegiance,and with my 31.5 draw,it made sense to go with the OG.So now I'm just waiting for the OG to come in...Bob
