switchback xt trade up to drenalin
 

need some imput from you guy's and gal's, If you had a switchback xt would you trade up to the drenalin,not sure what to do, any pro's and con's ? you can think of. The mathews dealer will gave me $550.00 for my bare bow and keep the sight,rest,stabilizer,peep,to put on the drenalin,and I would have to pay, $250.00 including tax, 250.00 out the door, and set-up the drenalin for me free of charge.

that sounds about right,you would get about that for your bow on ebay.I personally woud`nt buy either bow but theres alot of great bows out there.

You really aren't gaining much speed so it comes down to how you like the bow. Try it and if you like it better than the $250.00 then buy it. Only you can answer this one. Nothing wrong with what you have now but a new bow is always fun too.

you should shoot the drenalin first, i shot it ant the switchback 2 weeks ago and i liked the switchback better! but neither compares to the vectrix which im getting!!!!!!

I disagree with ikillsdeerthe hoyt has nuthin on the mathews switchback or drenalin when it comes to how smooth it shoots. I have shot both bows and am very impressed with both and am purchasing the drenalin this year. JMO

From what I have read...it isn't worth the trade up to get the drenalin if you have a SB. The price isn't justified for the small speed increase and the hand shock is suppose to be more than the SB.

I had a switchback xt on order and blew out my shoulder mountain biking. I was given the option to go with the Drenalin and after shooting it I went for it. Very smooth and light. but bows are like trucks, everyone has their favorites.

I shot both and i like the xt much better, but its your money. You got to get what will make you happy.

RE: switchback xt trade up to drenalin
 

ok, mabye i did throw that in but i cant help myself lol but i did answer his question first lol

RE: switchback xt trade up to drenalin
 

IMHO I would say stick with your Switchback XT. I have shot both and believe you gain little if anything with the Drenalin except a lighter bow. But I still suggest you shoot the Drenalin and decide for yourself.

RE: switchback xt trade up to drenalin
 

I would shoot the Drenlin and see if you like it better or not... I personally don't think it is much better than the xt, if at all.

I bought the Switchback back in sept of 2005, and I love this bow.
I'llkeep this one several more years before getting into the "upgrade" mode. Mathew's by then will have a new design out altogether.

I have the switchback XT and love it. I really can't see where you are going to get 250.00 worth better by trading up. If it ain't broke-don't fix it.

RE: switchback xt trade up to drenalin
 

I bought drenalin but i upgraded from a Ultra Max so to anwser your question is iwould just go shoot the Drenalin. The XT is an awesome bow aswell. I love them both.

well I have an xt and held it in one hand and the drenalin in the other. the drenalin is not technically a whole lot lighter but it really felt a lot lighter in my hands. after checking there web site I found out it weaghs 3.85 lbs and the xt 4.15 lbs. my bow had a wisker buscit a tr sight and a stabilizer the drenalin had just the buskit on it. in the trade I think you are getting a longer ATA bow (drenalin is 33 ATA), lighter bow, and about 5 fps more speed.
If I did not have a xt or good modern bow I would be hard pressed to find a good reason to pick one over the other so I would probably end up with which ever i could get a better deal on. thast my 2 cents
