New Bow

After think long and hard on getting a new bow, I had decided to wait till after the season to get one, but after coming into some extra money (couple side jobs) I could not wait any longer

I went lastnight to the bowshop and picked up a Mathews Switchback XT. I wanted to try out those Ross bows but the closest dealer is about a 2 1/2 hour drive away I did not feel that they would be that much better then a Mathews to warrent such a drive, and not knowing anything about the shop makes me kinda leery also. So my new XT is 28 1/2" draw set at 63# with a new Muzzy zero effect rest and my old Fuse 3 pin site.

I thought my SQ2 was a shooter, but boy is the XT a sweet shooting piece of equipment.

Congrats on the new bow man! I haven't shot one of the new Switchbacks but they look sweet. Now get out there with that bad boy and practice!

Are you planning on hunting this season with the bow Del?

Yeah, our season started on the 1st and will run till end of Jan.. I have only gotten to shoot maybe 45 -50 shots so far but I can tell you that I have to shot spots and not for group. I have almost had 2 Robin Hoods so far. My wife will be closing the next 3 nights so I will have the kids and not beable to go so I will get some shooting in the next 4 - 5 days before I can get to go hunting again (Delaware does not allow hunting on Sundays). And I am sure I will have total confidence by then, I am pretty confident right now that I could make the shot. That is one of the reasons I was going to wait till after the season. But I am like a little kid at times and when I get the fever I just can't wait.
