Definitely. There just isn't that much of an improvement from my Patriot to have justified the purchase. The way it worked out for me I now have two great bows that I love. I shot the Switchback after buying the Allegiance. Shooting that bow is a dream, but I still can't get over the grip. Mathews grips have never felt right to me and it's hard to get a good aftermarket grip in lefty.
The biggest problem with BowTech is they make a great bow and it's hard to come out with something to top their past bows each year.
Couldn't have said it better myself..........the only difference is I have always HATED Mathews grips as well........but the Outback and Switchback feel much better to me then any other Mathews I have ever held.....I agree that the Switchback is just plain SWEEEEEET.
Nothing (from any company) I have shot to this point is worth getting rid of my Patriot. Once you own a top end rig these days there is just no room for MAJOR improvements. The technology is nearly maxed out at this point and improvements are coming in VERY small increments.
