How does it stand up to other bows? I olny shot one other bow (a demonstrator model from hoyte.
im using easton carbon arows w/ 100gr. field points. and 100 gr. broad heads. cobra re-lease and sight (its accually one of the good ones) and a whisker buisket rest.
so what do you all think I would still need for hunting?

Sounds like the only thing left is practice, practice and some more practice.

Enjoy your bow!

What stabilizer did you go with? Abow sling comes in handy also if you have any money left.

I got mine back in Febuary. Using Carbon Express Maximas 250 arrows, Rip Cord Drop Away Rest, HHA OL-5500 sight, 100 grain 3 blade Muzzys

I got mine in April. I have had lots of trouble tuning it. I am not sure if it is me or the bow. I think I am just too picky. I can tear bullet holes in the paper and hit an orange at 50 yards, but I just don't like how far it is out of centershot.

I have the good cobra sites and wisker biscuit also. I shoot the goldtips with 100gr points. I am not putting a stabilizer on it because I am backpack hunting in Colorado with it and it doesn't have any shock. I am sure it would help some with small vibrations.

I shot 3 bows when I was buying mine. I shot the top of the line Bowtech, Hoyt, and Matthews. I have always been a Hoyt man, but the switchback changed that.

I love mine. [8D]

I'll second and thid that!

Heck I'll even say it again for me!

I love my Switchback XT, and I also love my 05 Switchback!

They make a great team!

Great bow... no tuning problems here... but then again I'm not shooting 50 yards either... no farther than 30 yards for me..
Shooting Beman ICS Hunter 340s

I went with a cheap one. It didn't need a fancy expencive stabilizer for it. just a simple old style one, it sounds like there is beads inside the stabilizer if that helps. it only cost about $15.
