JimT Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I drew one back today. Did not shoot it though. Besides the dampening the only difference I see is the cam. Grip is to fat for my liking. Nice bow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Re: SwitchBack That is really the only thing I'm a little giddy to see, how the grip feels. If it's too big, I'll put a Shrewd grip on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanH Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Re: SwitchBack They are a sweet Bow! I cant wait to shoot one! I got my giftcard for my new bow for X-mas but they have not had all the bows there at one time for me to compare them! So I gotta wait!

ScottyLuck Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: SwitchBack I shot one tonight. It's a nice bow but I'll be keeping my Outback for the near future. It's pretty much the same bow as far as smoothness and noise. The SB is just faster. I'm not a speedfreak so that doesn't matter to me. The bow I shot had a bit more vibration in the grip than my Outback but that could have been because it was a setup on the demo just so I could shoot it. The grip is the same as the Outback. So if you've handled one of them you know what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: SwitchBack I stopped in and shot two Switchbacks tonight. I don't know. They are nice bows, but I did not think they were as smooth as what everyone is raving about. After shooting the first one, I picked up a second one just to see. Neither felt right to me. The bow balanced well and was quiet, but there was a little more jump at the shot than what I've been hearing. I then shot an Outback and I liked the feel of it a little better. I still don't think they are as sweet shooting as my Diamond Stinger. Now that is one SMOOOOOTH bow. I shot the new "Diamonds" by Bowtech. I have one word ... SUCK. In my opinion of course. I guess if I had to pick a bow to replace my Diamond, I'd lean to the Outback. But everyone is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: SwitchBack That's the beauty of individuality..... Now I've never been much for all of the hype and hoopla that advertising pollutes the mind with.......I've preferred to rely on fist hand experience........so everyone take the info for what it's worth, but I encourage anyone who is interested, to shoot one for yourself.... I also have read alot of feedback about the Switchback......and being an Outback owner, I felt it would take a pretty noticeable improvement for me to switch....... Let's just go so far as to say I've got one on hold at my pro-shop !!!.............the draw is very similar to the Outback and LX, but a much smoother release and shot.....to me it was noticeable quiter and smoother than my Outback and LX.......and that says a lot. The draw tends to run a little longer than usual, so if you shoot say a 29", you may need a 28 or 28.5"....... And contrary to many reports, it DOES have a good solid back wall......it may be a little (very little) spongy for those competitive shooters, but that is easily remidied by removing the rubber from the stop and replacing it with an aluminum or copper sleeve... Get out there and shoot one.......if you're like me, you'll be a believer this time around...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EIGHTPOINT Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: SwitchBack I shot this bow last night and it's a nice shooting bow. Having not shot any bow including my own since the 2nd week of Nov. I picked this bow off the shelf with a preset sight and with two arrows that looked to long for the draw and shot two groups of 1" at 20 yards. No stabilizer or string silensers and the bow was smooth, no noise of any kind and was dead in my hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
