Every ar that i have ever shot has a lot of viberation ! the switchback xt i have shot a switchback great bow. but the xt i havent heard where people really like it and besides its a one camed bow kinda like riding a unicycle. Now the tribune thats the one i would by. Fast smooth

Pup, I am in the same dilema....Ii have been researching the same brands (to death my wife says) both on the internet and over on Archery Talk.

I came across another option that I found very intriging, namely Elite Archery. Before you make your mind up for good, check them out. They are at http://www.elitearchery.com You might be surprised and pleased at what they have to offer. This is the same company that has been in a court battle with Bowtech - it looks very much like they are going to win. I personally like the look of either the E-force or the E-500.

As sealeve said, I think the way of the future is going to be "binary" cams or twin cams. Very smooth on the draw, fast, and quiet.

Good luck in your search.

I spent a long time researching and drawing back different bows and settled with a Hoyt. Very happy with my choice but like anything its personal preference. Go with what YOU feel is the best for you. All the big names are a quality bow, otherwards they wouldnt be big name companys

Pupper, I would strongly recommend that you do what you think is best for you. If it turns out to be a wrong choice, oh well you learned something. You will not however wonder how things would have gone if you hadn't compromised. Go with your gut feeling , it probably isn't too far off base. Fred

Well you can't go wrong with the switch back or AR. I own both. I have a AR 34 and a switchback. Not the XT. The plain switchback is 5 fps more than the XT, and a little more forgiving. The AR-34 is my hunting bow. My switchback is for sale at Big Game Archery. It is a complete package with 27.5" draw, copper john hunter 5 pin sight, sims enhanser 2000 stablizer, and whisker bisket deluxe rest. Only 5 months old. $850.00 firm. Selling it because I am getting a new 3d bow.

chek-mate recurve or longbow,no sights,no stabalizers,no arrows rests,no releases,no peep sights,no tinkering,no headaches,no problems,just good old fashion shooting.just my opion,it works for me

[bowhunter4life]

well i argee with whatever bow feels good for you but the one thing is do you always shoot a 70-80# bow because its a bit unnesasary yuo will be far more acurate with a lighter bow and holding at full draw while waiting for the deer to move to that good position just my opinion im new to archery myself but from the advice i got from some of the people i know in powell river they recomended a lighter draw . i also wanted a heavy bow like you but then i went down to a 60-70# limbs and and im glad i did beacause holding at full draw with and 80# limb just wouldnt happen for very long. for me at least. but in the end its all up to you and if thats what you want.... different strokes for different folks i guess

well theres my two cents b4l

[willyqbc]

Justin....stick with 60-70#'s you don't need anymore than that for anything on this continent...including G-bear. You seem to do quite well with the Hoyt you have now So I would reccomend going with another Hoyt, The trykon is very nice, but so are many of their other models.
