I shot the 05 Vtech today all I can say is there is no comparison betweent the switchback and Vtech!! Both bows were completely bare (Rest only), while the Vtech nearly jumped out of my hand the Switchback was the total opposite!! There is no doubt that the swithchback is far smoother! I am not one of these guys that is just like yeah I am a Mathews man, know other bow can compare! There is no doubt that Hoyts are a good solid bow, but in my experience the Vtech is far infereior to the Switchback!
