6sixpoint_nobrows Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 The Other day my buddies and i were shooting our bows, just having a good time. My buddy Matt was telling us how he just ordered a new Hoyt and that he was selling his new Mathews Switchback XT with everything on it for 500 dollars...and he said i could have it for 450..Keep in mind the bow is only 7 months old and has a trophy ridge drop zone rest, a s-coil stablizer, and a 150 site that he won at a 3-d shoot on it already and he still wanted $450. I have loved my Reflex Timberwolf since the day i laid my hands on her. But i made the mistake of when Matt asked if i wanted to shoot the Switchback i said yes and i was blown away. There is nothing that compares to it and im sold. Today i went into Presley's Outdoors and sold my bow for $275, its easily worth about $350 but im happy with what i got, and now i pick up my Mathews tommorow after work. Oh yeah another plus is that the limb is signed by Jim Thome. Im super pumped and cant wait to put my hands on it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamphunter Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Mistake?? So was your mistake shooting the XT, or actually buying one? The price you paid is good whether or not the sight he had on it he won. It is still an add on to the bow that you would have to pay for if he did not have it on there. I think you did good. My XT new was $800.00, not including accessories. With everything included, I am over $1100.00 in my bow. I am very happy with my XT, you won't regret it.

ODH Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Mathews makes really nice bows. I bought a Legacy off a guy here on the forums last winter and it's a very sharp smooth shooting bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
