IMO the switchback is the better choice over the DXT.

It's a more stable bow, does not have as much jump or vibration as the DXT, and IMO just plain shoots better.

dxt has some hand shock, but as long as your steady the bow will shoot fine, it's also pretty fast, i chose the DXT considering i like a shorter ata. it's up to you what your looking for

I do not like the shorter ATA like the ATA around 32-36 inches. Think you would be happy with either just choose the one you like best, season will be here before you know it.

Good luck this season.

I shoot the switchback and love it. THe dxt is shorter and lighter. either way you can't go wrong both are great bows.

I like the short bows, so I love the DXT. Accuracy of it is dependent on your form. The '08 S2 is the sleeper this year IMO, very nice bow that is not being pushed by Mathews but is preferred bysome over the DXT. As the name implies, it is a continuation of the Switchback line.

I had a buddy that hated the DXT and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it so he bought a 101st. Two months later I talked him into shooting a S2 which he bought and then sold the 101st. He had 3 robin hoods in the first month he owned it. It's worth shooting.
