Well, I'm a Bowtech guy and I've never shot an X-force but I'll say this. If you shot them both equally well and like them the same, having the extra speed would be nice.
If you want it strickly for hunting then get the X-Force, you can't beat that kinetic energy. But if you are going to 3d shoot with the bow, go with the Ally. I had an X-Force and shot 3d with it. After the first 20 targets I would start getting tired and have a hard time staying steady on the target. Both are great bows but IMO the Ally is a better all around bow.eace:
If i was to get one of the two i would use it strictly for target shooting all year round and Hunting.
Allegiance,,,, you can buy both mods and shoot either smooth or speed. What I like about the Allegiance is you can shoot smoth mods all summer for 3-d and if you want to, crank her up for hunting by putting the speed mods in. Ive only fired a X-force on 2 occasions. Defianlty a screamer no doubt. But for what speed you gain with a X-force the versitility of the Allgiance out weighs it in my opinion.
Go with the X-force. Its a shooter. I am using mine for competitive shooting and hunting right now at 53#'s of draw weight with an arrow weight right around 300 grains and still getting more than 300 fps with a 28" draw. Thats plenty to kill anything. I would not try competitive shooting with anything over a 55# draw weight. The performance at 70#'s is impressive but with the technology you'll get more performance at 55-60#'s than most bows at higher draw weights, use it to your advantage. I am not very familiar with Bowtech however the limb problems being posted all over the place would have me taking a step back.
You should shoot an Elite if you can...the GT500 may get you to change your mind. If I was buying a bow now (or if JCMorgan wants to give me one) I would get an Elite!!
