Default Just looking for your opinion !!

Ok so i am looking to get a new bow in the next few weeks and i know at the end of the day the best bow for me may not be the best bow for you i am just looking for other peoples input.

I have shot all the bows i am going to list and have made up my mind it will be one of these i get just looking for anyone that has anyone of these bows to give me some info on them. i mean i can go to any bow shop and they will always try and sell me the most expensive bow they have or the brand of bow they carry.here are the bows i am looking at

Martin-C4 cougar

Parker-phoenix

Mathews-outback-switchback

hoyt_trykon-turbotec

high counrty-sidewinder

if anyone owns any of these bows and would like to give me your thoughts on the bow i would love to read what you have to say.

I am very limmited as far as a local bow shop goes so i would also like to hear of some online places that might be good to buy a new bow. thanks for the help

I have had a Switchback for about 6 or 7 weeks and love it. It is
very quiet and smooth to draw. I don't think you could go wrong
getting a Switchback.

I am obviously biased but I will say go with the Trylon or Mathews. I was shooting yesterday during the unbelievable mid 60 deg heatwave here in MD and was shooting at 60 yards and getting 4" grps after only shooting the bow 3 times now since I bought it a few weeks ago. I cant say enough good things about the Trykon even though I really like the Switchback as well. Im loving my new Trykon. Fast, smooth quiet and forgiving, you even get a nice goody bag, awesome hunting CD featuring the Drury broths, hats, key chains, and other nice stuff, not a reason to buy anything but still a nice touch.

You should try shooting the Ross bows if you have any dealers near you. I hear they are sweet as well.

I don't think that you can go wrong with any of those bows, except the High Country but that's a personal thing. That being said I own and love the Mathews Outback.

I had a switchback, but the name held up after about 6 months i "switchedback" and went with the trykon. For me the Trykon is a WAY better bow.

I had the High Country and hated it. It was loud and inacurate. Then I got a Trykon and fell in love with it.
