I have the option of having a bow for 3d only. Which would you shoot for target only? The patriot dually or the allegaince? The speed and ATA length of the dually is appealing. What do you think?

I have had both bows.

Allegiance hands down.

Why

I have had both bows.

Allegiance hands down.

Could you elaborate on this statment. I have a Allegience and I would like the same speed that the Patriot Duelly.

Well, at IBO weight arrows at 28" draw, I was able to get 307 fps with the Allegiance. My Pat Dually did 289 fps.

The Allegiance draws smoother and had adjustable let-off. That PD does not. The only advantage for the PD is a slightly higher brace height.

I ALSO Shoot Both, Alleigance For Hunting And The Pd For 3-d And Backup. I Also Shoot 28", The Two Bows Are A Dead Heat, Right Around 305 Fps. Either Would Make Great 3-d Bows. I NOMINATE THE PRO 40 OR OLD GLORY FOR A STRICT 3-D BOW.

IF you are getting the same speed with bow, why are you still shooting the dually? Do you find the longer ATA is a little more stable?

Honestly 3-D season is nearing it's end, and in a few months bow manufacturers are going to start coming out with the '06 models. I've heard Bowtech has something up their sleeve that is going to be something new with the bows that should be pretty hot. (no I don't know anything and yes it could all be hype ) But I'd hold off till the new line comes out. That's my plan I have a Pat dually that's an '03 and I love it I'll probably keep it as a back up or crank the weight down and make it a spot bow. After the new line comes out you can decide then, if you still want a dually you'll be able to get it cheaper after the '06 come out.

 

[grouse]

Already have both, thinking about selling one.

In that case I'd take the one that YOU feel is more accurate in your hands, and you feel shoots the best
