Hey All,

Just wanted to share my thoughts after test shooting a Mathews SB XT, Mathews Drenalin, Bowtech Tribute, Ross. I drew the Trykon and the Gardian and that was enough for me. I didn't even bother to release the arrow on either.

Switchback XT : I liked the draw and the release very much. The grip was very comfortable. Very easy to shoot.

Drenalin :This bow was a dream to draw. It has a slight amount more handshock than the XT but it was very minor.

Tribute : Very nice bow. Has a stiffer draw cycle than either of the mathew's and more hand shock than both as well. A very nice bow though.

The Ross : Not sure of the model name. I believe it was last years model. Decent draw cycle but lots of vibration on the release. Definetly not the bow for me.

Trykon : Didn't bother to shoot it. Didn't like the grip and the draw cycle was incredibly stiff. Also there is no give once at full draw. Any slight fijiting will cause the bow to release.

Guardian : Didn't bother to shoot the guardian. The draw cycle was pretty vicisous and unexpected.

My top pick would be the Drenaline. A very nice bow in my opinion. The draw cycle is what sold me. I didn't pick one up but it is something I will strongly consider this summer.
