I’ve owned or own the following: Patriot, Allegiancce, Guardian, Defender, 82nd, Invasion, and an Experience. Shot every new Bowtech, Hoyt and Mathews since the Experience and found nothing that was a step up until the Triax. Hunted with the Experience, Triax and Invaision this fall. Killed with all three. For blind or tight shooting, they all work great but the Triax was easiest to maneuver and the quietest while only giving up 5fps. When ranges could exceed 40yds, the Experience was first string. Similarly, for western hunting where my shots have averaged 47yds, I wouldn’t even consider the Mathews (I know this is reflective of my form....but it is what it is). I couldn’t justify the $ on the last 2 model Bowtechs....they simply weren’t enough of a step up.
My boys now shoot my Allegiance and Guardian.....and I would be comfortable with either the rest of my days. With an after market string stop, I’d probably choose the Allegiance but that’s personal preference.
