Shoot all the bows in your budget range. Mathews and Hoyt are great but shoot all the bows you can and find what has the best feel for you. Good luck this season!
Mathews and hoyt both have great bows. Shoot, any manufacturer with in your budget has really solid bows. If you have the chance, go to a pro shop that allows you to demo them and other bows as well. You might be surprised, the bow could just fit you better than others.
Definitely keep this one, they wont make it agian and it still works and you can still get new strings for it etc. If you are looking for a new bow, wait another month until they have all released the new bows. Next shoot them all, if you go shoot the new Mathews and the Hoyt side by side, and then throw in a couple of the other brands, you may be surprised which one "feels" better to you in your hand etc, dont pick the bow based off the way it draws, pick it off how it feels in the hand and shot, the draw you will get used to after a few reps. If you are like me, you will want to pull that grip off the older Mathews after shooting some of those new ones. Or that is my best wya tot describe it. I wanted a new bow this fall, but I also know they are just now dropping the 25's and a good portion of the main players have already released the new bows, Im still waiting to see what changes are made to the two I think I am narrowed down to, until then, I am using my switchback this year and it has always done me well,. In fall of 2005 I bought in one day, took it home, got it sighted in and harvested a deer the next evening and since then, many a years I limited out using it all season, using it during black powder and rifle seasons, I have nor gun hunted in over 10 years or so now and bow hunt is all I do. I gotcha on the subs, consider hitting us back as well. Good luck this season young man and have a blessed week and great season. Dale, I am trying to get my wife in the tree with me just for that video as well. Good luck Dale
@@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors Thank you!!! You got it man just subscribed! I didn’t even think about the new ones about to drop! I know this switchback has never failed me it’s an awesome bow. I definitely need to do that with try all of them to see! Heck ya get her out there! My wife’s recorded a few of my videos and it always makes for a fun hunt to enjoy with her too! Good luck to you too!
@@malcolmjohnson5941 haha well I guess I’ve been shooting wrong for 20 years. Seems to work in the woods tho. You’re not wrong on the execution haha but I was trying to be supper fast for a quick video.
Haha I guess judging by all the comments I’m gonna have to do something 😂😂 I’ve never had a problem in all my years bow hunting but I’ll definitely look into it! Thanks you too!!
Skydrawing... Unsafe and injury provoking. Draw level, work on both hand position consistency (grip less, solid anchor points), squeeze the trigger instead of slapping.
I am always fascinated by people that intend to shoot at a live animal and do not care enough to learn how to properly use a bow ( or any other weapon). Poor form and technique so easily leads to a wounded animal. IMO, there’s no excuse to not learn AND practice proper? Punching a trigger release isn’t a good way to use it. I think people don’t realize the huge advantages gained when they are missing because they will not use proven techniques. And they intend to try and take the life of an animal. All to say “ look at me, see what I killed”.
@@fowltinefilms 👍👍awesome! Long ago I shot with the same technique you are doing. After changing to different techniques my archery became so easy. I couldn’t believe how smooth and easy with excellent results it became. There is no more struggling and wasted movement in drawing and making a great shot. Do you get tired after say 20-25 arrows? Do you struggle to hold on target or are you punching as the pin floats by? Been there done that and in the long run it sucks.
@@timbow50 that cool! Im sure it dose get smoother but my results have been excellent. I’m not saying I’m perfect at shooting but I’m also not wounding animals and shooting just to say look what I killed!
The camera lady needs a raise
Have a 2005 switchback, it's a deer killing machine. IMHO no need for anything else. Want quieter shoot heavy arrows.
Heck ya! Oh thanks!
Doesn't matter what brand. You need to lower your draw weight and shoot with better form.
Shoot all the bows in your budget range. Mathews and Hoyt are great but shoot all the bows you can and find what has the best feel for you. Good luck this season!
@@huntermanack4643 yeah man good luck to you too!
Brother in Christ how is your shoulder still intact with that draw? 😂

the draw looks a lil weird but if it works it works😭
@@sparkyy8306 😂 yeah it’s been so I guess I’ll leave it alone!

Did you check the shelf?😂
Hahaha no I didn’t😂😂
Dude you really need to watch some RUclips videos on some fundamentals. First on drawing the bow correctly. Then on shot execution.
@@malcolmjohnson5941 haha well I guess I’ve been shooting wrong for 20 years. Seems to work in the woods tho. You’re not wrong on the execution haha but I was trying to be supper fast for a quick video.
I would definitely do some research but drawl length is too long, draw is not good and your trigger punching, all terrible habits but good luck buddy
Haha I guess judging by all the comments I’m gonna have to do something 😂😂 I’ve never had a problem in all my years bow hunting but I’ll definitely look into it! Thanks you too!!
Bear real bows out and eliet

Thanks I’ll check it all out! I will say I was going way to fast just trying to make a fun video so that probably didn’t help 😂

@@timbow50 crazy how I’ve always made clean kill shots! I’ve taken many of deer with this bow!

All the archery pro, keyboard warriors on patrol 😂 you’re all so top tier we should be so glad you share your infinite stores of knowledge.
