'05 Switchback owners
 

So, now that you've had your bow for a year or so.

Are there ANY regrets or problems with your bow?

If you had the chance to do it all over again, would you?


Thanks, Kev

PS- I am about to buy a new '05 Switchback, ($550)

I have only had my '05 Switchback about 2 weeks but I definately
do not regret it. And if you canbuy 1 for the price you mentioned
I would not waste any time and buy it for sure. I paid $639 for mine
and it was new also.

well, i know that a lot of people on this site shoot bowtech so i have been curious about them. i was curious about the speed deal but i'm not a speed freek either. i shot one of the o6 models not the tribute but one of the others. in my opinion it did not compare to my switchback and cost more. not as fast, smooth, or shock free. just my opinion, it was a nice bow but not a mathews. i did like the grip though. i will go back when he has a tribute in and shoot it just to see what it offers.

I shot Bowtech, AR, and Mathews. The Switchback was by far the smoothest shooter I tried.

I have had mine since last January and have put a ton of arrows through it. Two deer down with it. Not a single problem or regret here!

What draw length are you?What poundege are you shooting?
What kind of speed? The reason I ask is I have ordered the new switchbak LD.It has a 9 inch brace height and should be a sweet bow!

RE: '05 Switchback owners
 

the guys that are shooting bowtech's are you hunting with the short a to a bows? Do you find you need a longer a to a hunting on the ground, compared to a tree stand or is it just as stable for you?

tks.

With the new designs with long risers and short parallel limbs, they feel a lot more stable than a bow with the same ATA and a shorter riser.

It is the best bow on the market in my opinion. Hoyt tried to copy it with the Trycon and Ross made an attempt too. There is no hand shock with the Switchback at all. It is super quiet and pretty fast to. I shot at turkey the other day, he was with about 20 others. I shot over its back. The bow is so quiet I actually nocked another arrow and got a second shot on him and killed him. I know I'm awsome but don't think Icould have pulled it off with my old bow. You ask how such greatness could even miss the first time, it was drizzeling and the release sliped in my hand.:D:DSeriously though the Switchback is a great bow.

whats team pass thru 22?

RE: '05 Switchback owners
 

Opening day shot a doe (earn a buck zone). First time in the woods with it. No regrets and would definatelybuy it again if I had to do it all over.:)

It's one of the sites' teams namefor the Bowhunting contest.

RE: '05 Switchback owners
 

I have had mine since about July I would say and have shot over 1000 arrows. I still feel it was the best bow for my forma dn style. It brings me 100% confidence in the woods when the moment arrives and has hit the mark with every shot. It will be with me in the woods for many years to come no matter what comes out next.

I've sold my 05' Switchback. It's a good bow but it didn't live up to my expectations. Rather than designate it my backup bow I decided to just sell it while I could get a good price.
