Mildot, your comments saying, implying, or whatever that using a recurve is archaic is immature. Many traditional archers kill big game. Even with new technology an archer must learn his limitations.

That being said, I have shot and researched a lot of bows recently. For me it came down to a Mathews Switchback or Bowtech Patriot. I liked the feel of the old infinity cam better and found a good deal on a brand new 2005 Patriot, sooooooo I am now a proud owner of the Patriot. I will be honest and state that it wasn't because I thought the Bowtech was better, it just felt good to me in my hands. I will also go on to say that if I take on a couple of extra jobs this summer, I will most likely save up and buy a Mathews Switchback.......in my opinion their best bow ever.
