preacherman Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Maybe the wrong place to post this, but maybe I won't get flogged to bad! I am seriously considering switching to a Matthews Switchback from a Hoyt Ultra Mag and need some advice as to what to do. Shot the Matthews today and it is indeed a world of difference. Is this a wise move? Would you go with the regular Switchback or the Switchback XT? Need some info quick, because I am going to take care of business tomorrow. Thanks Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdeerhunter03 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Matthews Switchback Go for it, I shoot a Mathews and you wont regret it!

hoyt_hunter Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Matthews Switchback Hey there Scott, did you try the Hoyt Trikon? But that Switchback is no doubt a good bow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Matthews Switchback GO WITH THE MATHEWS XT!!!! I just came back from my pro shop too!!

tped Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Matthews Switchback I would go witih the Switchback, probably the new XT. I never liked the feel of the Hoyt's and have been a Mathews guy. My only advice would be to check the bow you are buying carefully, particularly for idler wheel lean - this has been a problem with the Mathews Switchbacks of which I know first hand. Two friends have great ones, I have a lemon that I can't get the lean out so it shoots smooth and quiet but I can't get it tuned perfectly so I don't dare hunt with it and Mathews doesn't want to hear about it. I found out this is a common problem but if you check the thing and tune and shoot it before putting up your money for final purchase it should not be a problem. mY advice is make sure it is right when you pick it up or make them get you another.

tedicast Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Matthews Switchback I have shot the Switchback, and I honestly prefer the Outback over it. now the Switchback XT is a whole different story... It seems to be a combination of the things I love about the Outback, and the speed and smoothness of the cobra cam on the Switchback. I have held an XT, but didn't have the chance to shoot it. Honestly, I'm afraid if I were to shoot one, I would have to have one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman Posted December 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Matthews Switchback The Switchback here sells for $619 and the XT for $659 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Matthews Switchback Hmm, I haven't shot an XT, but I do own a Switchback, if the XT is ANY better, think I'd spend that extra $40 and get the XT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kooter Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: Matthews Switchback I am switching from a hoyt razortec to the Switchback in about 1 week. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I did shoot the Trycon and didn't like the way it felt when drawing the bow. Good luck with your decision Scott.
