I can garentee you that before mathews put the Dren out they tested it for a solid 3-4 years. Now by saying that if they would have seen a decrease in accuracy then past models i garentee you they wouldnt put it out.

I heard that they are going to have a re-call on it, the limbs on some are twisting after shot for awhile... doesn't really surprise me.

Where did you hear that?

I agree that the switchback still has less vibration, although the dren doesn't exactly bounce out of your hands. Still very quiet and very low shock.

I think that YOU CAN be just as accurate with a dren, however, I think that it may well be more difficult to be AS accurate with. Just like a change in brace height or a little cant on the bow. In archery, everything isgive and take, and cause and effect. Gain a little speed, lose a little stealth. Lose a little forgiveness in brace height, gain a little speed. Gain forgiveness with longer axel toaxel, lose a little manueverability.

Sold my Mathews Drenalin for the Bowtech Guardian.

As for the lack of accuracy, I cannot confirm that. It was very accurate for me. I opted for the Guardian because it's faster and more quiet.

I shot it and piled up arrows with it at 20 yds. It is as acurate as the shooter. Personaly I would buy the Switchback or XT, but there is nothing wrong with the Drenaline.

Save some money if you can and buy the XT. Other than the Drenalin being a little lighter, they shot the same for me.
