Guest coydog316 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Are you not a little bit frightened by the small skinny limbs? A few years ago had a guy shooting a SQ 32, that thing was nasty. IMO I think they try and get these bows a little on the light side which in turn sacrifices accuracy. You know what I shoot SRA, so it is ONLY my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I don't own one but I stand shoulder to shoulder with several guys who own them on league night. VERY nice bows!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Very nice bows indeed but if you have a longer draw length the string angle is pretty severe. That is one of the complaints I have heard from long draw length shooters. Great for treestands and ground blinds. No rear hole if you wish to add an STS or another string suppressor. You need to use a front mount version. You could also search www.archerytalk.com and put DXT in the search function. Plus you can check out the Mathews forum on their site!

preacherman Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I have one and I know Gator has one. I personally love mine. I was very skeptical about the short ATA, but have found this bow to still be very forgiving and fast. I have a 29 inch draw length and shoot 70 pounds with a Easton Epic 400 and a 100 grain field point and I am getting 290 feet per second. There is absolutlely no hand shock at all in this little bow. If you buy one, you will indeed not regret the purchase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I want to add one more thing. This is by far the quietest bow I have ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ptbuckpa Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I want to add one more thing. This is by far the quietest bow I have ever heard. I agree with him I have the Switchback XT and my dad has the dxt and his is much quiter than mine. As for accuracy there is no loss from the slim limbs and the limbs are not dangerous there are just a ton of rumors that have circulated around from people who are against mathews or don't like change.

Guest Fl deputy Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Just getting into bowhunting. I'm 6'4" with a 31"+ draw length. Looking at the different Matthews, I see the Drenaline LD has a 31" DL. Do ya'll have any thoughts/opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was you, since this is your first bow, I would choose a Mathews with a longer axle to axle like the Drenalin or something similar.

kraabel2003 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 i got one, like it so far but have been just shooting it inside at 15 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fl deputy Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Yeah, I saw where the Dren LD has a 37" ATA and up to 31" draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Drenalin that I have at least 5000 shots on without a problem, and I own 2 Drenalin LD's. Don't even worry about the limbs. As for the DXT I shot it, but I was much more comfortable with the LD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fl deputy Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Think I'm gonna pick up my LD this weekend. Using it just for hunting. After reading people's comments here for awhile I think I have an idea of what I want on it, but any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated.
