The Switchback is a fine bow. I've been happy with mine. Though I still like the draw cycle on my Patriot better.

congratz gibb, nice very nice!

nice to see ya join the wagon Gibblet, now youll know exactly how to build my string for mine aewsome

Congrats on the bow but you lost me with the site since I have one. It'sall true except the adjustability, it's a bear, locks down tight enough but to get it to move slightly is not easy. You right about the cost though, can't beat it really.

Glad you have a different bow to perfect your string making on. Nothing but win win for any switchback users.

i'm gettin' pretty good w/ the sb strings (thanks to some help from folks experimenting with proper cable lengths instead of what is the advertised length). i needed 2 twists to the cable after installation - i think you can see in the pic i only served the roller-guard for the cable 7" - letting the cable naturally split instead of forcing a split at 6" from the axle. anyway, it was 1/16" short ata and pulling 72# before shooting it about 40 times yesterday. haven't measured again but i'd bet when that 8125 gets all settled she'll be about 1/16" long and need a couple twists to get things back. not worth fooling with for 3 or 4 days though. i'd rather wait until i have 200-300 shots on it and i know its the last time i'll be pressing it. the less the press - the better the bow - that's where i'm at these days anyway.

Hey John: Nice Avatar, BTW.

thanks joe - i swiped it from a carolina panthers football board i frequent. a guy there was using it and i thought it was fantastic. if i had a gas station that's what i'd have up there.

Gibblet!

I don't believe you .

Is that a string thing?Can't see how it would have any effect on my bow.

well, i think bending a riser just a little may be easier than many think. len probably knows whether this is true or not, but its what i am told.
