I've recently owned an AR, Hoyt, & now the Mathews. They were all great bows. I had and issue w/ the AR limb cracking, but they went out of their way to fix it. The Hoyt just wasn't "fitting" me right anymore. I shot them all (Bowtec, Browning, Hoyt Trykon, and the Switchback XT). The Switchback was the most comfortable. Period. I don't care what make and model somebody shoots. They are all fine bows. It's a matter of personal preference. I personally don't give a darn about how much advertising one does over the other. Shoot the bow you like... Now what you "should" like. Who really cares?
Just my opinion...
