FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Mathews Switchback … The Best Way to the Top!
Mathews, the inventor of single-cam technology, and many other revolutionary compound bow innovations, announces for 2005 the introduction of its most innovative bow ever—the Mathews Switchback.
Mathews’ all-new Cobra Cam with dual perimeter weighted technology is at the center of this performance. It has allowed Switchback to be designed with a generously comfortable 7-inch brace height. Yet, Switchback clocks a sizzling 318 fps (approx.) IBO rating. That’s right … it’s silky smooth and it sizzles!
Also, Mathews, the leader in vibration-canceling, super-silent performance has taken another step higher with two more harmonic dampers, these built into its innovative Roller Guard.
Switchback is aptly named—the smartest, most efficient way to the top of the mountain, a Mathews quest since the company began business in 1992. Combining Mathews’ innovations like single-cam technology, the perimeter-weighted cam, harmonic dampers, string suppressors, parallel limb design, roller guard, In-Line grip, V-Lock limb cups, etc. along with new-for-2005 innovations, Switchback has proven in laboratory testing to be Mathews’ best design ever!
The new Mathews Switchback … the best way to the top!
