    congrats on the new purchase, so how does it shoot????? Or is that a silly question [;)]

    Why do they make it taste so good and put it in them little bitty cans- Dad

    SWEET

    I am waiting on mine to come in. I sold my previous Mathews setup to a buddy at work. That'll cover 3/4 of the price on my Switchback. Already have the Spothogg Hunter and Wizker Bizkit. Thinking about changing my arrow setup to either Easton's Axis or Beman new Black Max.

    Awsome Bow best of luck with it. Please don't take this the wrong way.[:I] I noticed you said detachable Quickie Quiver. Thats way to nice of a bow to put a Quickie quiver on. Mathews Makes a detachable Quiver just for their bows . A little pricy around $79.00 but they are sweet and matches the bow.[;)]

    buckeyboy - thanks for the info, picked up a Matthews quick detach quiver last night at a different bow shop....you're right, it's much classier.

    Rembrandt- is the quik detach you picked up a one or two piece design? If it's the one piece, did you happen to notice if their two piece model was a QD?

    What length arrows do you shoot, and does the fletching extend beyond the cam?

    [:D]Very nice bow! Very nicely set up as well. I'll be posting pictures of my switchback tomorrow. It will look like a switchback on steroids...I guarantee. Many options you have not seen,ones that may change your shooting abilities forever.The advice is free, but for the wise will be priceless.I left the mathews forum for several reasons, as well as the other archery forums. If you notice, none, and I do mean none of the world class shooters...or archery pros visit these forums.It seems silly since the shoot mathews or hoyt bows, you would naturally expect to see them here mingling with you. For the simple fact that most of these forums are hogged by fellows that know simply "know it all". They have chased away the knowledge and strength that these forums were created for. The real pros out there would be honored to share their knowledge with you. For the most part, it's much like incorperating themselves with a bunch of drunks on the corner sharing a bottle of wine; and that's no BS story.I am not directing this message at anyone in particular, but these fellows should be ashamed at themselves. It's much like three kids playing in a sandbox, and in comes a gemologist; the three are soon to tell the gemologist he's the one getting all the rocks wrong.Imagine that!If you want to be a millionaire hang around with millionaires; you'll eventually become part of the gang. Even olympic class shooters have an open mind to grow and listen to advice, for no one knows it all. When you hear someone tell you, " this is the best, don't even waste your time trying it", please avoid the blowhard at all costs...for his/her advice will surely cost you in the long run.
    Enough said for now, I will be here tomorrow to help and assist; or at least lead you in the right direction. One thing I will guarantee, keep an open mind and secrets will be heading your way.****I also can guarantee, if I run into the same amaturs as I did at the mathews forum , I will ghost for sure.sifisto.

    There are not a lot of "regulars" on this forum and the ones that are here are great people. We get along very well. I don't see the bickering that I see on other forums. And I am not trying to start any now but you are new here and how do we know your advice or secrets won't cost us in the long run. FYI.. we also give each other a good deal of crap.

    I appreciate your willingness to help, but why do you think I am headed in the wrong direction. Again you are the new guy here.

    I may misunderstand your post and if I do I appoligize, but you appear to be coming off as a "know it all" already.
    Again I do appoligize if I have misunderstood you post.

    quote:I also can guarantee, if I run into the same amaturs as I did at the mathews forum , I will ghost for sure.sifisto.

    I am and will be for a long time an amature. As Long as I am still learning I would never class myself any higher.[^]

    Now having posted all this I want to say again I could have misuderstood what you are trying to say and I am not trying to pi$$ you off. "Keep an open mind" right? I believe that is a quote from you. Again too, being the new guy you may catch a fair bit of crap for a few days.

    Oh I forgot, Welcome to the forum!!

    bang related things nicely. I however, feel your reply was extremely arrogant. I for one am not and will not ever be a "archery pro". I enjoy sharing my opinions and I enjoy receiving opinions from others. Sure hope you can deal with that because I highly doubt any of the good folks on here will be changing.
