in 2010, that beotch, the GOOD IDEA FAIRY whispered in my ear (very seductively, i might add).."you need a new bow..!"
i ran and bought the flagship bow at the time from Mathews. the new Z7. it was awful. the GIF wasnt done with me. she breathed into my ear, "sell the Mathews Switchback XT, you love"..ok, SOLD!
biggest, stupidest mistake at the time. i suffered with that bow for 3 years. everytime i drew that bow back, i had a weird feeling. i just didnt trust it. it showed, in the way i hunted. a few times, i let down at deer in the 60 yard range. i killed my limit with turkey with that bow, but no big game animals.
do NOT chase the latest and greatest.
the search was on! i was looking for the Mathews Switchback XT feel. i found it in an ELITE Energy 35. it isnt fast at all. same general pin spacings as my SBXT and Z7. i know it isnt fast. so far so good. find a bow you like and master it. i am NEVER EVER going to let somebody else convince me i need a new bow. not for a really long time. i wish i still had that SBXT from 2007. it was perfectly fine.
Love my XT. She got the nod over my monster this year and will always be my main or backup bow. Just flat out kills things. Didn't actually contribute much with this post.
