Default Ordered new Swithback yesterday....not sure why???

What is it that makes a guy want to get a new bow when he does not need one. I bought a MQ1 in 1998, its a great bow and has served me well.........as far as that goes it is still doing a great job for me.
On the way home after ordering the Switchback I thought.........what am I doing LOL
Here are the specs for both bows:

MQ1 ...................................Switchback

AMO - .....235........................... 241
A to A - ....37"......................... 33"
Weight - ..3.75 ..................... 4.34
Brace - ...7 1/2"..................... 7"

Not really much difference between a 6 year old bow and a new one.

How often do most of you purchase a new bow???

Just Bought One Myself. Though I Have Never Very Many Bows, It Was A Considerable Improvement Over My Old Bow. It Is Much Smoother & Quieter. I Think You Will Like It.

It's always fun to get new stuff !

But after owning a bunch of Mathews including a MQ-1 for 4 years ! And having shot the SB recently................have fun with your new toy........but I wouldn't set your expectations too high....that it's going to shoot any/much nicer than your MQ-1 !

Getting new stuff is great...........I found myself in your shoes this year. I have an 03 Patriot that I could easily hunt the rest of my life with if it doesn't break.......but I was in the shops shooting the Allegiance and the Switchback not too long ago [8D]

I really didn't see anything in either bow that made me feel like I HAD to have one but they were great bows no doubt. The Allegiance was FAST nad the Switchback was SMOOTH. Anyone should be happy with either one.

I found out that I was still very happy with my Patriot

I am going to be getting into 3D shooting leagues this spring so a new bow purchase may be in my future anyways []

Just make sure to keep your MQ-1. I read of a lot of people missing there's once they sell it.

Enjoy your new switchback!

Congrat's on the new bow I'm sure you'll have lot's of fun with it .The one thing that i noticed is that the the Switchback is about 3+" shorter than the MQ-1 but wiegh's over a lb more. That is quite a bit of difference .
