Ahh, don't worry you'll see th light one of these days[:-]....lol....just kidding. Congrats on the new bow. I am sure you will be happy with it. I really need to get out and shoot one with all the good reviews that I have heard on the bow I just can't stomach going in the only shop around that carries them[:'(]

I know what you are saying...if you would have told me last fall that I would be buying a Mathews in my lifetime, let alone in the coming year, I would have never believed you.

In the shop today I mentioned to the tech that I was considering purchasing a new bow and told him what I was looking for...I shot several and then he handed me the Switchback and it was all over. Sweet shooter...

Heh heh, I was going to say that is the most expensive "hat" you will ever buy, but somehow I doubt it will be...In my neck of the woods I had to pay more for the Allegiance than I would have for a Switchback.

Congratulations on the new bow....even if it was a Mathews. Speaking of which, did they come out with any other new bows this year besides the Switchback? It is the only one I hear mentioned regularly.

congrats on the new bow. You might want to visit the archery talk forums if you have a problem paper tuning (left tear) I have herd alot about the switchback and the infamous left tear.

You live in West Virginia and you bought a Mathews, obviously you are a man of great knowledge and hunting ability.
