Oh really mcl8690?, how come in another post you said you were new to bowhunting and just bought a PSE Whitetail Extreme and loved it. Then on this post you said you bought a Trykon, and now you are a tournament expert to boot. I know there are some fast learners in this world but I really have to hand it to you. Let me know if you write a book I want to buy one.

RE: Switchback XT
 

Just in case you forgot what you said........oh by the way, you didn't capitalize your "I" and you forgot the period. You also should capitalize the name of the bow and put a dollar sign in front and a decimal point at the end of your dollar amount. Also, it's my not may.

I just wanted to let you know becauseit'shelpful if you post a reply that people can actually read.........oh you already knew that, didn't you?

He who lives in glass houses...........


Back to the debate, I shoot a Browning so what do I know.:D

RE: Switchback XT
 

Thanks for pointing out how absurd this thread became, BigJ12! ;)

RE: Switchback XT
 

OK, those numbers mean nothing, it is not the bow, again doing the shooting it is the PRO shooting the bow that is winning. I highly doubt that the Tykron is in there, it might be the Tykron XL which happens to act like a very different bow compared to the Tykron. A longer ATA can do many things to affect a bow. The XL is much smoother than the Tykron! The whole reason Hoyt came out with the Tykron is to jump on the band wagon, I mean the Switchback was the hottest selling bow last year, and this year it will probably be the XT. My local dealer has sold 24 XT's already, I don't know what the others around me have sold, but I expect the same. There has to be a reason that people still are choosing the Mathews over the Hoyt.......[8D]

RE: Switchback XT
 

I THINK THE NUMBERS DONT LIE, I SHOT BOTH MATHEWS AND THE HOYT AND I THINK THAT HOYT WAS THE BEST BUY FAR. SO MABE THEY PERFECTED THE DESIGN MATHEWS MADE. EATHER WAY PICK ON SOMEONE ELSE. 5 ON 1 ARE NOT FAR ODDS

RE: Switchback XT
 

Thank you, the odds were a little unfair[&:]

RE: Switchback XT
 

Remember the shooter has every thing to do with it!!

RE: Switchback XT
 

It was not fair when mcl8690 was all over D.Parsons, thats when I came in, all the others just caught mcl8690 talking about his wonderful PSE and they chimed in too. Excuse me, but how is the Tykron by far the better bow, let me know because I just can't come up with any conclusion of that. Perfected the design, more like made the design worse!

RE: Switchback XT
 

I got my Trykon 1 week ago. It is replacing my previous bow of 3 years. It is amazing the changes in technology in that time period. I shot the Mathews XT and have to admit it almost made me pull the checkbook. I am glad I waited to shoot the Hoyt. I think the Hoyt is much better quality and design. There is no felt shock, it is quick and quite.

RE: Switchback XT
 

Well I too shot the XT and Trykon. I did end up with the Trykon but I do NOT think that it is far and away better. I liked it better but that does not mean that someone else will. To me the Trykon felt just a little better and I bought it. Who cares what name is on the bow, Just shoot what you LIKE.

RE: Switchback XT
 

I have not yet shot the Trykon, but plan too, just to see what it feels like. I shot Hoyt for six years. I liked them, mostly due to the fact that the dealer was close to my home. My last Hoyt just never felt right to me. I started shopping around and decided that I was going to switch to High Country,due toa local dealer carrying them, and all of my friends shot H.C. I was at another pro-shop and I shot the SB and I was AMAZED. There wasVERY little string noise andVERY little vibration. Ipurchased the SB and it fits likea glove. With my Hoyt, I averaged around 250/300 at the 3-D shoots, with the SB, my last score was 287. I didn't change a thing, just my bow.

It all depends what fits you and what you are comfortable with. If it fits and you are comfortable, you are CONFIDENT!!

To any new archers reading these posts, go out and shoot as many bows as you can, we are all designed a little different, just like bows are. Find a bow that fits andis comfortable, then shoot, shoot, shoot. When the opportunity comes along at Mr. Big, your chances will be much greater!!

But when it comes to the adrenaline rush you get when he comes in, dont ask me how to perfect that, I still havn't figured that one out in my 17 years of chasin' bucks!!!!!)

RE: Switchback XT
 

If you figure it out it will take away from the experience!!
What would be the use if you lost that feeling!!!

RE: Switchback XT
 

Exactly!!!!!! Once that feeling is lost, I will find a new passion!!! But after 17 years, I haven't even started to lose the adrenaline rush that keeps me getting out of my warm bed every morning at 4:30AM to go walk into those frigid, cold, dark woods!!

Our archery season ended before x-mas, and I am already waiting for next October, it's gonna be a long year!!!

RE: Switchback XT
 

I know exactly what you mean!!It is a long time till the next season.
I am going to have a new bow to get used to mabey that will take my mind off it for a while!!

RE: Switchback XT
 

Already have my bow back out getting ready for 3-D shooting... I just bought mine last summer, I still have to tell my wife that I bought this bow before I decide to get another one.....

RE: Switchback XT
 

wow, this is some of the best tech info i've read on the '06 bows yet.

RE: Switchback XT
 

Deteriorated pretty quickly, huh gibby?

RE: Switchback XT
 

I thought it was a good read, kinda bumpy here & there but entertaining nonetheless.

RE: Switchback XT
 

Maybe when you guys are all done with your pissin match you can move up to a REAL bow... a BowTech.....



Ok... sit back and enjoy the show with me

RE: Switchback XT
 

LOL, You know all are real bows to me, but it is my personal preference that I shoot a Mathews instead of Bowtech. I don't have a problem with Bowtechs but they do not get it done for me, neither does the Hoyt products. I did like the single cam systems that Bowtech used to have, but I don't like the Binary Cam system at all!

RE: Switchback XT
 

Why is it that the guys with the other brand than mathews bow's
feel they must bash mathews??

RE: Switchback XT
 

its called 'slow bow envy'



just playin

RE: Switchback XT
 

Parsons, thats the difference fromthe JVteams and the Varsity teams. They'll learn......

RE: Switchback XT
 

I have my Outback up on ebay if anyone's interested...fully loaded...$515 with 4 days left... (plug). ;)


I shot an XT last weekend...loved it. I only shoot 60# so the whole speed thing isn't really an issue to me. I had a complete pass-thru on a 190lbs buck this past year at 38 yards. So again, speed isn't a big selling pitch for me.

Last weekend, besides the XT...I shot a new Bowtech and Hoyt...all within a minute of each other. The XT and the Hoyt were almost identical..while the Bowtech didn't seem to roll over as smooth as the other two, and had a little more recoil. Even @ 60# it was noticable.

I've shot a lot of bows...and go with the one I like best. My Outback was perfect for me...LOVED it...but the XT felt better than anything else I've shot...so I'm going with that.

RE: Switchback XT
 

Hey pat I have one thing to say.I second the GO COLTS!!!!

RE: Switchback XT
 

Damn straight! Pitt is coming back to the Dome next week. Hopefully we can get an early lead on them...and let Bob Sanders clean up Willie Parker again.

RE: Switchback XT
 

Does not matter to me just so they don't lose.I want to see payton win the superbowll!!!!

RE: Switchback XT
 

not if my panthers have anything to do with it.

RE: Switchback XT
 

Lets just say I am cheering for whatever team(s) does not allow the Patriots to win another Superbowl, I am so sick of them in the Playoffs, somebody please beat them!

RE: Switchback XT
 

I don't fear anyone from the NFC. That conference is a joke.

Pitt, NE, and Denver are all very good teams. I think Denver wears down the front 7 of NE with their awesome running game..while Jake picks apart a horrid Patriot secondary. Colts will roll over Pitt again...b/c they are overrated throughout their defense. Bettis, Parker, Staley won't be able to produce anything once again..forcing Ben to beat the Colts...which everyone knows when he throws 20+ passes/game...they suck (see the MNF game). Only thing I look to be different is Pitt running out of 3wr and 4wr sets...to get our defense in nickel and dime packages.

RE: Switchback XT
 

i'm trying to remember the last time the colts beat the panthers, hmmm.

RE: Switchback XT
 

If you watch for the next few week's you will get to see it again!!!

GO COLT"S!!!

RE: Switchback XT
 

Just wait until the BEARS and the REX FACTOR go alllllllll the wayyyyyyyyyyyy.
DAAAAAA BEARS

RE: Switchback XT
 

Colts haven't beat the Panthers....in the past...which is meaningless. They have 1 WR, and a ½ of a running back who had how many 100 yard games this season?

RE: Switchback XT
 

pat, you added the nastyness by calling our conference a joke. while we don't have as many good teams as the afc, we've got a few good ones. take my panthers for example, they are very good sometimes, which is very frustrating.

one thing that may play a factor in your run is peyton's choke factor. how many times has he choked in the playoffs now? 2 or 3?

(seriously, if you get by the pats, i don't see anyone beating you, but hate the pats as i do, they're really coming together.)\

and its always nice to take the opinion of someone who really doesn't know anything about football, except what they read in the paper. :D[8D]:D

RE: Switchback XT
 

Pat, Pitt. has an overrated defense? I think you need to take a big step back into the land of reality. I have been a fan since 1977 and I am always more than happy to point out my teams problems and shortcomings, but the defense remark made me laugh out loud. Sure, the Colts are probably going to win on Sun., but if you really did pay attention to the their last meeting during the regular season, you will remember that your precious Colts were held to numerous 3 and outs in the first half. Our offense just could not get anything going. I think that if the Steelers can keep it close for most of the game, you may be sweating itin the fourth quarter. I hope you know that this is just one fan "ribbing" another. I am with the rest of you on the "anybody but New England" mentality, for obvious reasons. Should the Colts win on Sun. I will be cheering them on. They have a heck of a team and Dungy and Manning have earned a chance at the title. BTW, we are all a little off topic on this thread, you can sure tell everyone's season is over or close to being over.

RE: Switchback XT
 

gotta give some love to dungy, thank goodness he's out of our division, and prayers to his family.

RE: Switchback XT
 

This thread off topic? No-o-o-o-ooo! ;):D

RE: Switchback XT
 

yeah, i'm a fanatic. you could say just about anything without upsettng me, except about the panthers - leave that to panther fans.

RE: Switchback XT
 

Pitt's defense has gapping holes. Teams pass at will against that secondary...even Kitna did for a while. As Indy showed on MNF, get the defense to fear the pass, and open up running lanes. The only good player in the secondary is Polamalu. The corners are slow and played 10 yards off of Wayne/Harrison the previous meeting in fear of getting burnt...not to mention Edge gashing the front 7 for the first 100 yard game given up by Pitt for 22 games. Colts outgained the Stillers 366-197...what a great defense, eh? The only TD drive the Stillers had was a 7 yard drive...wow...Big Ben really got it done! Choke....agains Indy's "soft" defense..who almost never blitzes.

Plus, with Bettis/Parker/Staley's running game amounting to nothing...it will be tee-off time for the Colts front 4. Stillers will choke again in a Dome. What now...claims of crowd noise being pumped in? lol

I will stand by my comment on Pitt's defense is overrated...against the Colts anyway. They played soft the whole game..intimidated not 1 player. Gonna be a great game.
