that just shows ya everone feels different. i own a switchback and went the other day w/ an open mind to shoot the tribute and it did feel good in my hand i really liked the grip but the had shock was enormous compared to the my switchback. to some people that doesn't matter but i like a smooth draw and a smooth release w/ good speed but that is secondary, they are all fast. the thing that jumps out to me w/ the switchback is you can't even tell when you have released the arrow. again it's like cars everyone is looking for something different.
