The bow in 30 seconds
The 2026 Bowtech Alliance won the ATA Best New Bow award — 30.5" axle-to-axle, 338 fps IBO, 4.09 lb. The updated DeadLock cam tunes without a bow press, and the new GripLock lets you fine-tune grip angle with a single screw. Rotating Modules + FlipDisc Technology give massive draw-length range without cam swaps. Best mid-priced hunting flagship at $1499.

Spine guidance
Alliance is more forgiving on spine than the PSE Sicario thanks to the DeadLock system. 340 covers 60-70lb; bump to 300 for 70lb+ with heavy front-end.

Open the builder →Velocity estimates
Using the standard ATA / IBO velocity formula, a 430gr arrow at the Bowtech Alliance's 338 fps IBO should chrono around 240 fps off your bow. Real-world velocity will vary by ±5 fps depending on string condition, peep + d-loop weight, and tune state.
Common tune issues on the Bowtech Alliance
Over-spined arrow. The biggest issue with the Bowtech Alliance is shooters going to 300 spine when 340 is correct, then seeing tail-high tears that take forever to chase. Start with manufacturer spine chart, validate with the builder.
Wrong sight radius. If you're using a slider sight, the sight radius from peep to pin housing affects every yard mark on the tape. The Sparrow sight tape generator (Pro) needs this accurate to the 1/8".
