2006 Bowtech Allegiance

"A fast miss is still a miss"

How often have you heard that.

Or

"I'ld rather a slow 10 to a fast miss"

How about

"I'ld rather a fast 10 than a slow miss"

Because with the 2006 Allegiance that's what you get.

My 2006 Allegiance arrived last week, however I have been shooting so well with my 2005 Allegiance I sold it to one of our staff shooters (Luke) straight away. (our staffers pay for their bows, that way you know they shoot them because they want to)
It's blue chrome, 28" 60lb.

After some initial setup and making sure the arrows cleared we shot some shots through it. The Accuracy was impressive. Even with a slighter higher peep than I am used to I shot 3 arrows in the same hole at 18m. (all to the right of teh 10, but that's OK, we have not set the sights)
Luke's a 3D shooter so speed matters to him for 3D. He's an impressive indoor shooter so accuracy matters bigtime. Our initial shots looked good. However the bow was so gentle to shoot that he was worried. Would it meet it's birth certificate speed of 306fps? As he has put on a peep and dloop we had doubts.

We put on the Radarcron (which we have found quite accurate) and Luke shot his 300 grain Lightspeed 3D arrow.

315fps

No way! Couldn't be right.

Fired again

315fps.

Unfreakingbelievable.

Here is a gentle X killer shooting 315fps at only 28" draw. To give you an idea my 05 model does 296 at the same specs.

Wow!!

Fast AND accurate. It is possibly to buy both. And don't let the 34" axle to axle fool you, this bow holds rock still.
