Well, my month long quest to find a new bow began last night at the local archery shop whereI shot the Mathews Switchback and then the Hoyt Trykon. I found bothto be similar in cost and speed. Where I noticed a difference was in vibration, stability while drawing back, ease of let down and quietness during the shot. In my opinion, Hoyt was the better bow. I am concerned about the split limb design only because I have never owned a bow with this feature. I am also wondering why Mathews bows seem so top heavy? Any suggestions on what I should look for in any bows I shoot or what types of brands are worth testing besides Mathews and Hoyt?
