Ok I wasn't gonna

I didn't want to say anything but I have to. I bought the Switchback XT and love it, however I must admit the Bowtech Tribute might be a little smoother, quieter, lighter. I shot them side by side and there is a difference in the 2. the only thing I didn't like about it was the feel of the grip and it was about $100 more. but man, if anyones in the market I'd say the Switchback XT and the Tribute are the top 2 out there. Just my opinion of course.

    I realy like the grips on the tribute. However, I think that it is louder and has more vibration then my bows, don't know about the switchback though. I tell you though, buddy of mine has his tribute shooting 304 or something close to that with a hunting arrow.

    304 is at 70 pounds or it could be 80, but he is shooting a 500 + grain arrow. Heck, even my hunting arrows are only 430. Of course its funny as hell to see him grunt it back at 80 pounds, try doing that for a 3D course. I have had enough shoulder and elbow problems in the last 6 years I don't need any more in my life. Plus pulling a 63 pound bow back all day long is easier then straining myself.
