My favorite bow I have ever owned. Wouldn't change a thing on it. I have had it for 2 hutning seasons now. Very smooth & forgiving. Very quiet and pretty fast... It just fits me perfect.I can usually find a flaw my personal liking w/ most every bow, but not the SBXT...

thanks for the response, the xt is on the top of my list to try and possibly purchase.

I would definately shoot that and some of the other Mathews bows along w/ Bowtec, etc... They all make nice bows. One will feel right for you. You will know!
I did... I shot the Bowtech, Hoyt, & Mathews bows that were available. The SBXT just felt like me...
Glad i bought it!

I shoot the XT and I absolutely love it. I think Mathews Bows are the best ones you can get if you like a bow that is quiet with no hand shock. Definitely buy one if you can.

I got a SBXT this fall, and really liked the feel, etc. Everything you expect from a Mathews, you get.

My only problem developed when I started using it in league, and hadn't really picked up on this problem before then. I shoot at 70# and 30", and found that the angle of the string was so severe, that I had to tuck my chin down in order to get my eye-peep orientation set "properly" (meaning the habits acquired over years of shooting). I just wasn't able to get all that comfortable in that posture, but was willing to work on it... although I did try to get my Q2 back in even exchange for the SBXT. I sold that bow to someone who really wanted it, and went on to another type that puts me back at 34" A-A.

Lesson learned: my size and shooting habits aren't very condusive to short A-A bows.

The best bow I have ever owned. Quiet, fast, light weightand vibration free. You couldn't ask for a better combination IMO.

I have one and it's incredible. Very smooth, quiet, and a joy to shoot. Great size for treestand hunting as well. Your best bet is to shoot several to see what feels best for you but you can't go wrong with an XT !!

the switchback series including the new S2 is the best lineup Mathews has come out with Plus between all the switchbacks i think there the best series of bows so far ,thats my opinion and everybodys is different.
