Congrats on a very fine bow. I tried out a Switchback and Switchback XT and virtually could tell no difference other than the XT being 2" shorter. Either one are nice bows. An XT at my local Mathews dealer costs $625 and the Switchback $612.

That's a little lower that what was around here. With my VIP discount at my local Mathews shop, I could have got one for $635 a month ago. Not sure what it is now...would be too temped to whip out the check book.

The grip is the biggest weakness of any Mathews bow -- for most people. Go to www.archerytalk.com and do a search for a member named "Tronjo" ... he specializes in making after-market grips for Mathews that are simply gorgeous, and they're a heck of a lot thinner to boot.

Hey! I like my grip... but as they say, to each...

FYI: Don't be too surprised if you don't see the prices on Mathews bows go down as drastically in the future. I was told by a reliable source that Mathews has been spanking dealers for selling bows too cheaply or something like that.

Something to do with a pricing agreement they make with their authorized dealers, and they've been revoking authorized status from some of them.

I love the handle on mine. Fits my hand perfectly.

Just of pic of the XT! Going to shoot in the basement right now!

Very nice, bro.

Nice looking bow! Congrats!

Shot the XT a few weeks ago and was very impressed.

Picked mine up a few days ago, I have about 200 arrows through it. Nice and smooth, but not as fast as my Ultra 2. 639.00 OTD
