Sorry to hear that things aren't working out for you Campo. One thing you can't rule out is the possiblity that there is actually something wrong with the bow. I know that's not what you want to hear at this point but there is that possiblity. You just may have a lemon.

My personal opinion is that if you like the feel of the Tribute then you will like the Switchback XT more than the Trykon. Honestly though you can't go wrong with either bow. But please don't just take my word for it. If you can shoot both and see which you like more.

Good luck, I hope you get everything straightened out.
