They feel nothing like a Switchback, Outback LX, FX or classic. They feel nothing like a Bowtech. they feel nothing like a Parker. I would say they feel nothing like a Hoyt but that would be silly. They feel like a Darton. One person thinks the Switchback is the best thing ever in the world while another feels like the Alle is and someone else will say it is the V-tech or some other bow, and maybe foe them it is a Darton or a PSE or an AR or an Oneida. I shot a Switchback, might even buy one some day, but the Darton just felt "right" in my hand and at draw and the cycle was fine. To be honest, it has a better wall than a Switchback but the valley is not great on my Avalanche so you have to be carefull about creeping but a short valley can cure you of creeping real fast. But if it shoots good for you and is 200 dollars less than a Switchback than why in the heck would you buy a Switchback? The Darton's are selling very well around here right now, probably not on pace with the big three but the local guy who sells them is basically in a situation where they are out the door within a week of coming in the door. Good deal for him.

I talk to guys all the time at shops and they will say how they had this great bow 3-4 years back and it just shot perfect for them and how much they still wish they had that bow. I always wonder why they got rid of it and the answer I get is "Oh, I just had to try this such and such new bow because everyone said how great it was" You find out in the following 4 years they have owned 10 bows and are still searching for one that shoots as nice as the old XXXX brand that they traded in.

Edited because I was a in a pissy mood when I first wrote it.
