The Conquest Apex 7 is a BIG bow, very expensive and (as at around 28” I don’t need a long draw length), it might not offer any advantages over less expensive models.

The Switchback is nice, reasonably priced, looks great and has that wide solid wooden grip. Normally, the Switchback would get my vote, but the new Prestige with Apex 7 cams has come along. On the face of it, the prestige looks just a shorter version of the Conquest and a bit cheaper.

Any thoughts on the relative merits of these bows?

Sorry folks - typo on the Prestige! I do realise the bow has Prestige cams. not the Apex 7, although they do look very similar.
