I also tested the big 3 this spring and my thoughts about the Trykon were exactly why you are now going to part with it. The whole draw cycle and sudden crash into the valley looked like it would not be good when drawing on a spooky old black bear. I bought Bowtech since I am a short draw length and nothing can beat the Equalizer but I have to admit that I really liked the Switchbacks feel. If you prefer the longer ATA of the Trykon XL make sure you also test the Allegiance the Tribute will be quite a bit shorter than your Hoyt. And the Ally is the fastest also.
