Default RE: I thought I was getting a Switchback, but I just ordered an Outback

Buckfevr, I heard something at the proshop the otherday I thought you'd enjoy.
I, personally, after shooting the Switchback felt like it stacked earlier and was a harder cam to draw than the infinity cammed bow I currently shoot.

Here's the conversation I overhear at the front counter while I'm shooting my ole Z-light on the range.......
Customer " I sure hope I like this Switchback, BTW how much is it??" as they bolt on a rest and sights.
Shop guy gives answer, customer looks OK with it.
Then they show up on the range and after the first shot I hear
Customer-" damn this things hard to draw back!!!, What's it set on 65#??? I don't need it that high" So they go check it and it's sitting on 59#!
Then I hear the customer ask why it's so much harder to draw than the Outback.
Shop guy answers under his breath that it's a harder cam on the switchback.
Another customer blurts out- "You don't think those 10 fps were free did ya!!"
(I giggled a little at that one)
I then told him if it was me I'd have a hard time deciding between the Switchback/ Outback.

When I was leaving I once again herd the customer commenting on how hard it was to draw and he was told not to worry he would get used to it.
I hope he does, to me he sure didn't seem too happy with it.

BTW this customer was a pretty big dude. No noodle arms there.
