My 30yd group with my Mathews switchback
« on: July 08, 2012, 06:16:08 PM »
This is as far as I can shoot at my house so I will soon need to find somewhere else to shoot longer distances.

Throw one more picture up with a single arrow in each black spot.  I don't shoot groups at 20-40 yards.  It gets to expensive.   :chuckle:

Nice shooting, I loved my switchback, I sold it for a Z7 extreme, but those switchbacks are sweet shooting bows.  Good job. :tup:

That's some good shooting! I wish I could shoot at home! 30 yards is great practice. Just work on form and muscle memory. Looks like you have it down well!

Nice shooting.  As for the upgrade, I guess it depends on what you want to spend your money on.  I don't have a ton to spend on hunting gear, and I've toyed around several times with upgrading my Mathews Q2.  Look at the specs and decide if it's worth it for you.  I've shot some of the new Mathews bows, and came very close to pulling the trigger on a Monster 7.0 last year.  In the end, I decided to keep the Q2 and spend the money on out of state tags instead, as well as other gear that needed upgraded in a much bigger way than my bow.

The Z7 bows are very nice, but I didn't care for the short ATA.  I honestly don't really think you'll gain much over what you have with your Switchback.

I shoot the Monster 7.0 currently... I like it...but I miss my switchback xt.... IMO one of the smoothest and most forgiving bows they ever designed.
