RE: switchbackxt?
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...

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!

RE: switchbackxt?
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.
