Test shot the Swtichback, the Hoyt Trykon, and the BowTech Allegiance. All are incredible bows that are free of handshock, fast, and efficient. For me the Hoyt was a bit heavier, very quiet, and had the best grip. The other two were very similar and also very quiet. You can't go wrong with any of them. Good luck and have fun!

BOHNTR - You said the Trykon was heavy but quiet. Was it quieter than the Switchback? I currently shoot a Hoyt, and although I've never had a problem hunting with it, I do think it is a bit noisy. Some of my Matthews buddies are trying to convert me, so I was wondering your opinion. I haven't had a chance to run down and test the SB out yet.

I think it's a bit quieter, IMO. BOTH are very quiet bows though.

Allegiance

Post by team_predator_6 » Mon Mar 27, 2006 3:12 pm

I shoot the Allegiance. Its an awsome bow. Its smooth and fast. I'm shooting a 410 grain arrow at 290fps. with a 28.5 inch draw length. Cant go wrong with the Allegiance.

I purchased a Switchback xt earlier this year and am very pleased with
it. I plan on doing a little work on the grip to square it up some with the
bow but that is mainly because I like to tinker with things. A friend of mine
just bought a Bowtech and I also liked it. It seems to draw smooth and is
pretty quiet also. Good luck with your new bow, whatever it may be.
