That is too bad that you can't shoot them first. I did shoot the new SwitchBack and it is a great bow. I shot it side by side with the Trykon and to ME the Trykon just felt better. I do think it may be worth your time to find somewhere or someone that could let you shoot several different bows. I don't think you will be disappointed with a SwitchBack but I know I would not want to be buying one without shooting others. Good luck to you.
