Once I shot the Commander, wasn't much point in shooting anything else. Love at first draw.
I didn't buy one for myself was because I knew the pain that shooting a bow caused me would soon override my desire, the point I reached just a few months after I'd shot the bow. If I'd thought I had another 5 years to go, I'd be shooting a Commander - with an extra long string loop
- right now.
Don't worry, most on here giving advise haven't shot them all either.

I'm not a speed freak. I'm more interested in a smooth draw, very low hand shock, and quiet. I'm not going to be taking shots at deer at 45-50 yards. A smooth draw is very important. I really don't like bows with a hard "wall" at the end of their draw cycle.

Not a burner by any means but perfect (IMHO) for a hunting setup. Very accurate and stable hunting platform.

I just re-read your other post (quiver thread).....seems like you're set on the Dren LD. Well if it shoots ANYTHING like my Switchback LD then you've got yourself a winner! Hey it can't be bad....afterall this is Mathews we're talking about, they don't make a bad bow.

I'm not necessarily set on the Dren. I've got a regular Switchback right now and if theLDshoots anything like it, I'm sure I'd be very happy! I'm checking to see right now if my shop hasboth in stock for me to shoot!

Good luck and from my experience, you won't be sorry you took the time. If I didn't give the Switchback another shot (pun intended) I probably would have missed out on what is quickly becoming my favorite bow of all time.

Hows things going Dave? Well when I went on the new bow hunt I tried a ton of them.After it was all said and done the PSE X-Force won hands down.If you have never tried one you got to give it a go!!!! I didnt find any shooting differance between the Dream Season and the X-6 so I went for the extra speed and got the X-6. Send a note when you get time and let me know how things are going.GOOD LUCK WITH THE BOW SHOPPING!!
Oh yea give the Elite GT500 a try as well.I got one on the way.This is also one heck of a bow!!!!!
