Yourkidding right?You noticed a difference in "vibration, stability while drawing back, and quietness during the shot. And after only shooting both bows for how long? Then you say, "why is the Switchbacktop heavy"??? The Switchback is all of the above and "MORE"except the top heavy part????I think you best go back and try that "comparison" test again.[:-]

Hoyt and Mathews are both great bows, but I chose the Hoyt because the offer a long ata for fingers style. Service and dependability along with being a leader in innovation and design were also a plus when choosing my equipment.

I shot each bow forapprox. 50minutes prior to this and I have been bow hunting for 5 years. I noticed that the Mathews did not sit well in my hand and was top heavy. I am not trying to insult you sir, nor your bow. This is just what I noticed. I think everyone will agree that there is a different bow for each individual. I am just stating my opinion and am wondering if anyone has noticed the same.

Well said. That is also why each manufacturer may make as many as five to fiteen models of bows. We are all individuals. And some of us can do some testing and thinking for ourselves instead of just following the hype.

Last year the Switchback was the greatest thing that ever happened to archery. I guess, if you follow the hype, then it's the Trykon this year. Thing is there are probably 500 other bow models to choose from. Kinda like cars.

I agree with MDBUCKHUNTER. I shot the Switchback, Bowtech and the Hoyt V-Tech. I shot all three off and on for about 2 weeks. I decited on the V-Tech for the simple reason of "it worked for me". I also feel all these bows are the best there is. Heck, my son shoots an Out Back. We bust on each other all the time all year long. But we both agree, we both own some fine bows. Like BF1947 stated, theres over 500 bows to choose from. I shot the Trycon & the XLa couple weeks ago,I didnt like it eaither. IM sure a lot of folks think IM crazy. Well, IM not, it just didnt work for me.

How come pepole on here can not read??It is personal
PREFERANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its your money, buy the bow that you want and what feels the best to you.

A-MEN!!!

D. Parsons, I agree it's personal preferance all the way. BUT!!! I hugely disagree with his findings!!! If any bow feels top heavy it's the Bowtech, NOT the Switchback. I should know, I have been shooting the Switchbackbow since last september.It's also a smooth drawing and silent bow when shot. How can someone else come up with findings that are 100% in the other direction? I know I'm not the only one who loves the way the Switchback shoots and feels. I just find it quite commical that after only 50 minutes of shooting both bows and 5 years behind his belt, he'svery biased towardsthe Hoyt. The fact that he shoots aHoyt is fine with me, but don't post things that are way off the truth.[:-]

Understood!I have a switchback LDordered myself!!

Just do not understand why some pepole want to get one these
fourms and bash other bow companys just because they did not
like the one bow that brand they shot!!Some pepole must like bows from the companys or they would not be in buisness!!!!
