I shot the Switchback, Trykon, Tribute, Allegience and a few others before I decided. I narrowed down to 3 bows and the shot them some more. They were the Swithchback XT the Trykon and the Bowtech Tribute.I ended up with 2 of the final 3. As you can tell by my screen name I really like my Trykon. Once you shoot it a bit the cams are hardly noticable as being aggressive. The other bow I bought was the Bowtech Tribute. I just couldn't get past the grip and the slow arrow speed from the Mathews. It is a great bow however.
