EIGHTPOINT Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 After 3 years and looking at the LX and Legacy in recent years I finally bought the Switchback. The bow is everything that I expected and I believe the wait was worth it. I will be tweaking the bow indoors while the weather is bad in advance to the upcoming 3-D season this spring.

EIGHTPOINT Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Re: FINALLY GOT A MATHEWS To answer a couple of the replys : These bows are selling for @ 699.99 in our area. I have heard that the msrp is @ 749.99. My switchback at 29" draw shooting 27 1/2" CX 300 carbons with 3" plastic vanes & 100 gr. tips shot 278 fps. My other two bows are High Country Max Force, one is a twin cam , the other is the newer single cam ( 5 years old ). I always wanted a Mathews and I am glad to have waited for the Switchback. Having almost bought the LX and then the Legacy I am glad I held out, It was just a matter of time till Mathews found the right combination and my opinion is the Switchback is it.
