i have the XT. its a good bow. I will not be tradeing it in on a dreniline becuase the dren. just doesnt do better than the xt enough to justify the (about $300 i think) extra id have to pay on top of what the xt should fetch just to get a drenalin. xt:315 fps ibo dren. 320 fps ibo, the difference is just 5 fps. the dren. weighs 3.85 lbs the xt weighs about 4.15 i think. shure the dren. is lighter but not by leaps and bounds. the dren. and XT both do not have camo'ed roller cable guards (this is what 4th year mathews has had the roller guard thingy? its time to start sending them to reall tree for the camo finish with the riser & limbs) then there are the string silencers, they are the same thing just brought over to the dren. from the xt. and again no camo option for them this year. they are in there 2nd maybe 3rd year also. And no changes have been made to them since they came around. the limb pockets are still matte black also, I know a lot of other bow companies make there compunds with matte black limb pockets so I gues im suppos to be happy that we even get that I guess. it seems they are happy just makeing them pockets black, but I want CAMO on my hunting bow dang it!!!
for me to sell the xt and get the dren. It would have to have been shooting 330 ibo (atlest 325 seeing bowtech & hoyt did it), camo the roller cable guard, the string dampeners and limb pockets. but since they only tweeked there bow design (in my eyes thats all they did was tweek) I dont think im going to slap down 700 bux for that. Im gona enjoy the one ive got, it was too expencive but ive got it and its got a good warrenty on it and I cant get my money back (depreciation) so I guess i have to be happy in that I do have a good bow that still works good. it may not be the lightest or fastest of the bunch but as long as it still gets deer its my bow!
