I agree on the Switchback. I bought one awhile back shot it and thought it was real nice but I couldn't figure what it was about it that made it so nice. I was out shooting with a buddy and after about an hour we switched bows and took some shots.I won't mention the bow my buddy was shooting but it is a nice one that alot of you guys shoot. I pulled it back and let it rip and the dang thing about jumped out of my hand. I couldn't believe it. The hand shock was so noticible i thought something was broke but there wasn't. My buddy shot mine and couldn't believe the difference. there is no hand shock in a Switchback. Needless to say my bud is buying a new bow.
