I finally made the jump from my old PSE bow which was always "good enough", to a Mathews Switchback XT....and never looked back. It's like night and day, and definitely worth the money in my opinion. With that said, most bow manufacturers are making good quality bows these days, so a new bow doesn't have to be a Mathews or a Bowtech.

But I always have to chuckle when someone mentions Mathews being overrated....when just about every major manufacturer has a Mathews look alike...solo cam, parallel limb design, etc. I guess they really do "Lead the Way".
