Drenalin vs Switchback XT
 
My dad's lookin into gettin a new Mathews bow and he has narrowed it down to either the new Drenalin or the XT. Was just looking to see which bows u guys thought was the best from field experiance and hunting experiance??


thanks

The drenilan hasn't been out long enough for us hunters to give a review. Ask me next year at this time and I can help ya. The Switchback is a great bow, I have been shooting it for the last 4 years, with no complaints.

I was at the pro shop last friday and made it a point again to shoot the switchback xt against the drenaline. I prefer the switchback xt.

I'm not trying to stir up the Mathews guys because I think they make great bows. But I did hear a RUMOUR from a Rep at the pro shop I frequent. This rep doesn't sell bows he sells arrows. And he said their test bow came apart on them and had to be sent back to Mathews. It was the new Drenalin.

I shoot a Bowtech.....but I'd trust this about as far as I would ANY internet conjecture I'd heard fourth-person from a guy with Trykon in his username...on subjects involving NOTHING to do with a Hoyt.

Just my advice.

This is what I have heard and read from more and more people. I think they just don't like the additional handshock that the Drenaline produces that the Switchback doesn't.

If the bow came apart it is because someone did something stupid to it. I have shot the bow extensively and taken it apart as well. I have also looked at the slow motion video of the bow and honestly it is one of the most sound limb pockets on the market right now.

Here is the video link........

You should see what the limb pockets on other bows look like during shot execution. ;)[8D] You would be amazed most stay together when looking at these types of slow mo video.

Why is your dad restricting himself just to a Matthews?
What about a Hoyt, Darton, Merlin, Bowtech, etc, etc?

Way too often people get trapped in advertising and dont pay any attention to shooting all the bows they can to find the right one...

RE: Drenalin vs Switchback XT
 
I shot them side by side and I liked the Drenalin enough to order one. But that's just me. The Drenalin did have a little more handshock but it was lighter and faster. Tell him that he can't go wrong with either one.

That says it all right there Rick and is why I buy Mathews. Anyone else want to post some slow motion vedio of their bow? ??????????

I shoot a Bowtech
Big Deal I own a Tribute along with my Vectrix So What? If you read you'd see I said in BIG LETTERS RUMOUR. And I also said Mathews makes great bows.

So I can only comment on Hoyt's because of my screen name? How idiotic is that statement? Maybe you should only comment on Turkey hunting then by your logic?

Gobbler since you piss off about one person per thread why don't you take a little break, rethink your exsistance and post with a fresh mind.

RE: Drenalin vs Switchback XT
 
Motown....If you don't see through me....I was joking.

As a Mathews shooter......HOW MANY TIMES have you seen a thread start about a Mathews....only to have someone come in with COMPLETE conjecture and stir the pot? How many times did that person have a "hoyt" either in their screen name or sig line?

That's all I was saying in my original post....and if you can't tell I was joking RE: the turkey....you take yourself too seriously.

Have some fun. I apologize for doing so.

me and dad's goin to shoot both today

RE: Drenalin vs Switchback XT
 
after shooting both my dad and I both prefer the Drenalin.... it feels more stable with the 2in longer axis and the lighter limbs... both are good shooting bows though
