Why did you sell your Switchback??

Go shoot a Hoyt Trykon and let me know what you think.

Yea I agree you've narrowed it down to 4 Companies,now just pic 4 bow's 1 from each of themin your price range, 1 from each company. This should help you boil her down to your new bow. Good luck with choosing.

I shot all those bows before settling on a Diamond Victory. It shoots just as well in my limited opinion, but for the price, you can't go wrong. (just my 2 cents)

I shot all of those manufacturers before buying a Hoyt. It's every bit as accurate as the other competitors' bows at 3D shoots and I believe it's quieter. I haven't shot the Trykon but I bet it compares favorably with the Switchback. Price WAS a consideration for me.

You gotta shoot them.

BTW Bass Pro Shops will not let you shoot their stuff. I don't know if Cabela's will or not. It's just like scuba gear: You gotta support the local shops even if their prices are a little higher.

Pearson makes absolutely great bows. Ask anybody who's ever owned one. You can shoot a Pride at Cabela's. Quiet. Fast. No hand shock. It is as good as anything out there but you can save $100 - $200 to spend on accessories.
