I have the Switchback XT, I have a 27.5" draw, this bow is as smooth as the Bowtech is fast. The Mathews is just a better quality madebow, not that the Bowtech isn't made well. Speed is great, but what good is speed if you can't draw the bow back smoothly. Go with the Switchback XT, I shoot 100 gr Muzzys on a Carbon Express Maxima 250, and my arrows are flying faster enough
