Most people know me as pretty kind on here and willing to give a person sight-unseen the benefit of the doubt, but I'll be honest with you: The statement about hand shock makes me want tocall "b.s." about as bad as anything I've seen yet.

Some people know, and some don't that the last bow I was shooting before signing with BowTech was the Switchback XT; I still own it. Any day and time I want, I can shoot what Mathews claims as its top-of-the-line offering against BowTech. There's been several days I've taken my XT and my Tribute out just to shoot them side by side for people who are over visiting. To a person, every one has agreed that the Tribute is as quiet if not quieter than the XT.
