Try them out and see for yourself.

You did not give us enough information to determine your speed. You could be anywhere from 100 fps to 300 fps. What weight arrows are you shooting?

i already have the mighty mite and was going to sell it and get a switchback and my arrows are about 370gr and i'm currently shooting with the bowtech around 280 285 and the reason i'm asking is because its not easy for me to try out a mathews because the nearest dealer is a 100 miles thanks.

Your going to have to go to the dealer to buy it. Bring your Bowtech there and shoot them side by side. If you like the Mathew's get it.

You can,t go wrong with a mathews but I can,t imagine there being much speed difference or quality. Why don,t you like your bowtech?

I think the speed between the two is going to be very comparable, assuming similar setups, though I might still give a slight edge to the Mighty Mite. Consequently though it also does exhibit a bit more recoil upon release than the Switchback. We are talking about the low end of the spectrum here though so that is a highly subjective observation.

That is what I was thinking. I own a mighty might as well and have shot a few mathews bows before when I was shopping around. I didn't shoot that bow though. I don't know how close the speeds would be, but I would bet the mathews will have less recoil and vibration on the shot. It will probably feel different in your hand as well. I like the bowtech grips compared the mathews, but I have small hands.

I would compare the two side by side for sure before you buy one. The bowtech is also more adjustable being that they take modules and have a post adjustment vrs being cam specific for draw length. The mathews may draw smoother as well. But you could get a justice or even change cams on yours maybe if you wanted a smoother draw. I think the justice and mighty might are the same bows, just with different cams.

I was shooting bows today and I was quite impressed with the switchback. I also liked the bowtech allegiance. I felt they were very similar. I also shot the Hoyt
V-tec and the Ultratec. I've always been a Hoyt guy, but I got to admit I like the switchback and the allegiance better. I will probably get the Switchback because it is 100 bucks cheaper than the allegiance. They were so close in my opinion the bowtech isnt worth the extra money to me. So before you give up on bowtech check out that allegiance. Nice bow. Good luck!!!
