GWSmith Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Twice as light and looked awesome. Got to finally hold a switchback at the local Sportshow and was like: "Hey this is nice....(but noticed the weight immediately)". Then after strolling around I found my local archery shop was there and they are carrying their new line of bows now...Whisper Creek. I held up a model they had there and was thinking hey theis bow looks weird....then I realized it weighed so little I couldnt believe it was a real bow and not just a designers mock-up. I was fairly impressed with the bow, the design was radical, and the weight was what we would not mind carrying around all day in the woods. will I sell my Mathews FX I have now and get one....PROBABLY NOT...lol. I will however concede the fact that someone else can make a decent bow and have some design capabilities. Now in conclusion...lol...While I was there at the booth another man stepped up and was looking at them. He told the guy he had a couple of the earlier versions that had problems with the risers and asked "Did they get that fixed yet???"...always leaves you with some reservations eh Now due to recent events I have to add this non-legal disclaimer...lol...if you are offended by this post...sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Switchback was nice but Whisper Creek.... Hey GW......I just checked out their website, and they don't have a bow under 4 lbs ?? Was there a new one, that they're not showing ??

GWSmith Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Switchback was nice but Whisper Creek.... Clay, I dont know what model it was...but I will find out Monday...I'm headed to the Bow Shop then. Remember everyone...a slick little trick that we sometimes dont notice at these shows......Wait...let me ask this as a question: When was the last time you held a Bow at a sportshow that had all the accessories added on.....and said to yourself"Hey this is a really lite Bow"????? Exactly....They never have them....its to make their bows feel lighter because without all the add-ons they are....its the simple things we sometimes overlook. Its like the bows that are really easy to draw back....they are set at what...maybe 45 lbs...maybe 50 if they are able to be touched by anyone. Thats my point in this post....Yeah I was impressed by the Bow and its design. But I was caught by the same trap I'm telling you all about now. I'm sure there is nothing really glaringly different about this bow from any other......its not the Genesis of the Earth......that the single cam idea was. Its just Showmanship at these shows I wanted to draw attention to and maybe keep someone from jumping in with bow feet before they check to see how deep the water is.

ScottyLuck Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Switchback was nice but Whisper Creek.... I kinda like a bit heavier bow. It holds more stable for me. I'm primarily a treestand hunter so the xtra weight doesn't really bother me on stand. If i had to walk around with it all day I might think otherwise.

VtBowhunter Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Switchback was nice but Whisper Creek.... I have access to 4 of the whisper creek bows brand new and they can go for $300 each, with the full lifetime warranty. I'll be posting it in the classified forum. The cost includes shipping right to your door. Just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most bows don't really seem "heavy" to me. I enjoy doing some stalking with rifle, and that beast weighs 6 1/2 to 7 pounds. I don't mind a 4 pound bow at all.

GWSmith Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Re: Switchback was nice but Whisper Creek.... Clay, I went to the Local Bowshop in town and found that the bow I like so much is the Quantum. I just got off the phone with a representative and their website will be updated by the end of the week. I would imagine that the update will show the bow then.
