Howdy everybody,while I havn't shot/handled the new mathews reezen 7.0 yet,I'm thinking somewhat seriously about getting 1 and would like all the feedback possible before i go to the local proshop. While i currently have a switchback xt and LOVE it,am considering upgrading to the reezen 7 and using my xt for a backup bow since I recently came into a little bit of money. PLEASE DON'T wasteyour time and mine by reccomending another brand of bow since I've been a bowhunter since 1974 and a diehard mathews man for several years now,and am NOT the slightest bit interested in other brands at this time. What I'm wondering is there enough improvment over my switchback xt besides sheer speed that i should consider "blowing" the money to buy 1? thanx in advance Neil

I shot the 6.5 Reezen a whole bunch, I can't figure there to be a whole lot of differnece between the 2. I'd buy the 7 just to give me peace of mind with the extra brace height or hunting. I like 7" for hunting. But that's just me.

The Reezen isn't for everybody. Some guys have said it's a bear to draw, but some guys don't mind it. It definitely doesn't draw or shoot as smooth as your Switchback. I shot it side by side againstthe Drenalin, and I preferred the Drenalin for a hunting bow. But everybody "feels" different. I like a smooth drawing bow for hunting. The Reezen holds nice, has a solid wall, but a draw cycle that ramps up right at the end and drops off quickly into a short valley. A guy could get used to it after a day or so. It's all in what you like to shoot. Take your Switchback to a shop, and shoot them side by side with identical draw weights to see how it feels. It's the only real way to find out
