Made a Big Mistake

edited February 2006 in Bow Hunting and Target Archery
This Fella that works with me that also hunts,He was looking for a new bow. He had an older pro-line very fast very noisy. He asked me if I would take a ride to the bow shop after work. I told him yea I'll go with you. Well we arrived at the archery shop and he asked to see the Switchback XT. [:0]Wow he said when he picked it up. Can I shoot it he asked[?] Of coarse you can[^] Well after a few shots he coulden't believe how quite and also "0" hand shock. I took my LX with me to compare it. Well I'll make a long story short I now have a Mathews Switchback XT. I knew I should have never picked up that$%%%$$ing Bow[:p]

    No Trade but they are going to put my lx on E-bay for me. the wall is solid the draw is a little tougher than the lx But the release is just unbelieavable. no noise no vibration just sweet. I thought a pretty decent price too $729.00. Also I have now abandon the biscut there is somthing better I will post a pix. I will be picking up the bow friday night. this rest holds the arrow and completly drops away with no contact whatso ever . I was very impressed... The only thing is my quiver id not the same camo but it is the mathews quiver. OH well.

    I know what you mean bud, there's a big difference in my Switchback and the new XT. I have the Ripcord fall away on mine and love it. That QAD is alot like the ripcord.

    I shot the regular switch back very nice. But there is a pretty big difference between the SB and the xt take the test shoot both side by side.

    Slash that wasant very nice. Especially from a wuss who abandon the archery forum because fishing thread took over paint ball[:X]????
    I'll grow a set if you will. Hoyt Sucks I dont even like way they look[xx(] there were racks of them there and I had no desire to even look at them it was almost like looking at supermodels or some dirty skank walking down the street.[B)][B)][B)] so there wussyboy[:D][:D][:D]
