Let me know what all you XT owners think of your bows so far. I just picked mine up last Friday and have shot about 20 times and this thing is smooth! I am coming from a 2004 Mathews Classic which was a nice shooter, but this is a big step up!

"This thread is worthless without pics!"

I was going to pick one up with the money I got off of ebay for my Outback, but decided to buy a boat instead.

I'll pick up an XT when the price comes down this summer.

Do the prices normally come down in the summer...????

congrats on the new bow you will love it.itsreal smooth

here in oklahoma the xt is 629$ and it does not go down in the summer. how much is it in your neck of the woods

I Looooooooooooooooove mine!

But I'm also coming from a 1998 PSE Firflite LC. A good bow in its day but much heavier and longer. I managed to tame the "kick" pretty well with a lot of Simms material (PSE NV system, limbsavers, S-coil stabilizer) but that made it even heavier and still no where near as smooth to draw.

I haven't even added any limbsavers or thunderblox and it's quiet as a mouse.

My only problem now is with the reduced weight and nearly 9 inches less ATA, I'm not used to how easy it is to move around. I find I need to concentrate on holding steady a little more, which might not be a bad thing! A bit more stabilizer might be in the works for me.

I was at the pro-shop the other day and compared the XT to my Switchback. Other than it being somewhat shorter (31"vs 33"), and hence a little lighter, I didn't see what all the fuss is about the XT?
The Switchback is an awesome bow by itself, I guess they just came out with a few more "flavors" of this bow!!!

A buddy of mine has one and he loves his. He did file down his grip however.

My Outback brand new in January was $699 when they came out. I picked it up in June for $549, fresh out of the box. Once the initial "OMG" factor wears off (like with any new product), the price will come down. Besides, I'm not shooting 3d this winter/spring...and I won't need a bow until October..why not wait and save money?
