Hoyt Trykon or Mathews Switchback xt, don't recommend the Bowtechs I've heard to many problems with limbs to feel comfortable with one.

I really like the XT but I am a Mathews fan.
I love my Switchback
I am going t keep it another couple years but that new XT sure is tempting!

All you need to do is read my thread "Shot the Big 3"....for my thoughts...

After shooting the Switchback, Tribute, Allegiance and Trykon it definatley came down to the Allegiance and the Tyrkon....with all else being equal, the Switchback was the slowest....great bow none the less but I'd go with the Tyrkon...fyi I went with the Allegiance and going back for the Trykon as well.

I doubt any Mathews shooter would immediately like the draw cycle of the TYrkon but there's no doubt the Trykon is much faster....

If you don't at least try the Bowtechs you are doing yourself a huge disservice. Just FYI, the same people that make the Bowtech limbs make the Mathews limbs; Gordon Glass. For some reason you just don't hear about them as much. Maybe the Mathews guys are too embarrased to admit that they are not the perfect bow?[8D]

Anyway, if you are dead set against the Bowtech, then between the 2 you mentioned I'd go with the Trykon, no doubt.

Trykon. You are just paying for too much advertisement w/ a Matthews, IMO.

I tried out both back in December and decided on the Switchback.
I thought it was smoother and quieter of the 2. You just need to
try them out for yourself. You couldn't go wrong with either one.

Either would make a great bow. By the way, don't be so worried about Bowtech. My nearest Bowtech dealer sells a ton of them and has had no problems.[8D]

The infamous Bowtech Limb problem was largely misinformation disseminated on Archery Talk and other forums. Do a search on this board for Archery Talk and you'll find the notice that they posted regarding brand bashing.

This largely came about as a result of certain individuals on a smear campaign.

Personally, I went with the SB over the Trykon. Smoother to draw and smoother to shoot. Those were my #1 and #2 criteria.
