Brianxt Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I have shot bows for about 18 yrs,alot of bows have come and gone alot of things have changed in those 18 yrs.I have shot or hunted with alot of bows,there is two brand bows that I have never shot Bowtech and Hoyt.When I was younger I traded alot,most of the bows I traded for didn't fit me the draw length was to long or short and the peak bow weight wasn't rite.My shooting suffered big time from not haveing bow that fit me. I had traded for 3 different XI brand bows in one summer.The last one I had was a competion bow with hatchet cams.This guy I was friends with had a new brand bow that was out called Mathews,he wanted to trade so we traded.The first thing I noticed was there was no jump or kick to the bow when I shot it .I have owned three mathews sense then ,the feather max the Q2 and the SQ2.And now I have the switchback XT none of these bows fit me except for one the xt.The other bows was 28" draw length when I ordered the XT I ordered it with a 27 1/2" draw length 50-60 lbs draw weight.My shooting has never been better. I think its because the bow fits me perfect, I fell more comfortable and confident with this bow.When I hold the bow in my hand it fells like its part of my arm .I don't think I will be tradeing any more, if I do it will be awhile.

Straight Shooter Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Re: The bow thats the perfect fit Having the correct draw length is key to great shooting. If your draw length is to long or short it create bad shooting form and habits. If you don't ever buy a bow from a Pro Shop, at lesat stop in and have your draw legnth checked so you'll know what you are getting into before you start any tradeing.
