    What bow did you feel much better with that you upgraded too over your switchback XT? Can't find the right one yet. Went and put my hands back on the RPM 360 but couldnt do it. Looking maybe back at the creed. Cant seem to try out a prodigy yet since I am LH.

    Bought the original Switchback new in '05. Shot a ton of new bows in the following years and didn't find one I liked better until the z7 which I bought in '11.

    I did shoot an Elite Energy 32 one of my friends recently bought, and wow! If I had the money right now, I would be very tempted to cross over to Elite.

    I bought a switchback xt and really enjoyed it. This year I decided I wanted to upgrade and decided on the Hoyt Faktor 30. While I couldn't tell you if there is much difference I really love my Faktor 30!

    I really like my RPM 360 but plan to shoot a Prodigy sometime this winter. You know, just to try it :-) .

    Switchy XT to a 2010 Elite GT 500. Been all Elite ever since and not looking back. XT was a good bow but nothing even close to any and all of the Elites that I have owned.

    Gave mine up for an Xpedition Xcentric 7. Its smoother and quieter at the shot and draws really nice. Nothing draws as smooth as the XT but for an increase of 30 FPS, the Xcentric 7 draws really good. I can shoot the Xcentric at 60# and get the same speeds I was getting out of my Switchback XT at 70#.
