Default Vetrix vs Tribute Vs Switchback XT

Without stirring up a ton of debate.. I am going to be purchasing my first really quality bow and it has to last for a few years. If you guys had the chance to get one of these which one would it be? All three are in stock and ready to go at my local shops. I just need a bit of help with my decision. I have only shot the Switchback XT thus far but possibly shooing the other 2 tomorrow. Honestly, I do not know the difference between the cams on these bows. Can someone help me out?

also, if someone has a nicely setup bow for a good price I am interested in that as well.

It is all personal preference, buy the one that shoots best for you. regardless of what Brand it is. That is the best advice anyone will give you on here.

Chevy........Ford........Dodge

All have their advantages and disadvantages. Go shoot them, and see what you like best. Don't let us make the decision for you. Because we all know what opinions are like.

BTW....Check my sig for my opinion.

Shoot em all a bunch. Then pick what you like best. I personally liked how smooth the Matthews shot and the way the grip fit my hand. Some people say it is too big, I think it was just right. So it is all up to you and have fun with your new bow.

Went and shot the vectrix and Tribute last night. Both set at 60 pounds each.. The draw on the vectrix was definitely the smoothest out of any bow I have ever shot however it is as ugly as sin and weighs a noticable difference. I really enjoyed the tribute set at 60# but the price was way off for a new bow. They were selling for 699.00 before NY tax for a bare bow... so I cruised AT for a while and came across a deal I could not refuse. When i get her I will post the pics.
