Switchback XT vs. Trykon
I shot both of these bows yesterday with similar setups and I must say I liked the XT MUCH better than the Trykon. The Trykon was heavy and clumbsy feeling. It did shoot fairly well though. I just didn't like the feel at all!
The Mathews felt awsome and seemed to have little to no recoil.
Some of my federal refund has already been spent!

RE: Switchback XT vs. Trykon
Just goes to show that not all bows are for everyone. My friend ordered the Trykon yesterday after shooting a Mathews Q2 for years....he shot the Allegiance, Tribute, Trykon and Switchback and immediately ruled out the Switchback and Tribute....
Had a hard time deciding and ordered the Trykon....
Guess that's why all bow manufacturers can sell bows. I did the same thing, ruled out the Switchback and went with the Allegiance after shooting Hoyt for 10 years...I do love the Trykon as well...to each their own.

RE: Switchback XT vs. Trykon
Switchback, not XT and to be honest after shooting them I thought the Switchback was a better bow then the XT and the dealer thought most of his Mathews shooters said the same thing. It's a great bow don't get me wrong and it'll be fantastic for you, after all, that's all that counts. Have a fantastic year with it...

RE: Switchback XT vs. Trykon
I'm sure it'll be a good bow.
I just wanted to be sure which bow you were talking about. I've never shot the original Switchback. I would like to shoot the LD at some point but it's a little "after the fact" now seeing how I've already paid for the XT.
I'm getting the XT setup tomorrow. I have my Diamond up for sale. In a way, I don't want to let it go. It was my first bow and just shot a 298 with 35 X's last night in my 5 spot league.

RE: Switchback XT vs. Trykon
I set it up myself tonight. Had to take it outside and release a few arrows. My diamond is quiet but not as quiet as this Switchback XT.
I was shooting under a flood light in my backyard so it was tough to get a good view of the actual flight but I think it's pretty close.
