My first compound bow was a bear whitetail hunter in 1977. After some years of shooting/hunting it wore out. Then I was an avid hoyt fan for years. A few years after mathews came on the scene,I became hooked on mathews ever since. I haven't shot the drenlin,but I do have a switchback XT,and love it. The bottom line is that you cannot go wrong with any of the top bows. Get the one that feels/shoots the best for you.
