I shot an Accomplice 34 last summer. In short I won't be selling my Switchback to buy one. They are well made bows and are plenty fast. But I didn't like the draw cycle and it seemed to have a lot of handshock on release. Some guys I see shooting them love them. Wholesale Sports in Federal Way is carrying them if you want to shoot one.

talk to bryan at wholesales in fed way, he shoots for athens. i was actualy impressed with them though could never justify the price tag. not there there not worth it, i just dont wana spend that much money. they have an unbelievably smooth draw cycle for a dual cam.

Awesome bows!!!  Okay, I'm an Athens staff shooter for 2011, so I'm expected to say so. :)   Anyway, super smooth draw, solid wall, and fast.  I shoot the eXceed 300 for target and recently picked-up the new Ibex for hunting.  I don't have pics of my Ibex yet, but when I get my stabilizer and quiver back from being dipped I'll post some.  You can find plenty of pics of the Ibex on archerytalk.com.  In addition to the Ibex (for 2011), they have a 41" ATA taget bow called the Excell and another called the Afflixtion.  Details for the Afflixtion have been hush-hush and will be announced at the ATA show, Jan 6-8.  I know the Federal Way Wholesale Sports has Accomplices in stock.  Not sure what Lacey or Siverdale has in stock.

Then you will be a pro staffer for Athens and poop on all other bows. :chuckle:

You'll fit right in, ask any pro staffer how great their Athens is. :rolleyes:

 That's kinda the point of pro staff shooters.  Most of the staff shooters I've met do it with out pooping on other bows.  Maybe bad mouth them a bit but I have yet to see one drop a big stinky pile on a bow.
