I tried both the switchback and the v-tec this year before going with the v-tec. I have always been a hoyt guy and I decided to keep it that way. I did like the switchback but I opted to take the v-tec and I am sure glad that I did. I have killed two deer this year with clean pass throughs. The second deer was hit so hard that she fell down after the impact before she got back up to run. I believe I made the right choice. Take the advice that some of the other guys have given and shoot them all before you choose.
