This Sucks!
I am reading and talking to people who are buying and shooting their new bows, all different brands of course. Well I am still waiting for my new bow to come in. About 3 weeks ago I called Mathews directly just to find out when they will ship any left hand SB out. They told me they are running about 1 to 2 months behind! They are getting 10,000 Switchback orders a month, WOW. They did tell me that they always make and ship right handed orders first on new bows in the line up, and that when they get enough left hand orders in they will make up a batch and ship them out. The good news is that because they are running behind that they will ship the lefty's sooner than expected. They will not worry about meeting their left hand order quota, so as not to loose customers who are tired of waiting. But as of last night I talked to my local dealer and he is still waiting. As of last week he has sold 50 or so of right hand Switchbacks and some of them are waiting for their bow to be shiped too, but so far there are 2 of us who are buying lefty's. Sigh oh well I should be use to it by now and just thank my lucky stars that the bow manufactures are lot more aware of us leftes than rifle manufactures. The majority of rifles are not offered in left hand and for good resson too, because their are so few of us overall. But that still doesn't seem fair if you happen to be left handed. Like a said before,,,it just sucks,,,,if my bow was in right now, I would be able to shoot in a lot, because of down time with work right now. I work construction with my brothers, we own our bussiness. My wife is sure happy that I can help out with the house and our kids with the extra time that I have right now. But I know I could do that too and still make a few trips down to the indoor range and let a few arrows fly with my new bow. I'll shut up now but its nice to vent every now and then, and now is one of those times. Thanks Jaons
