The switchback was one of my favorite bows & one of the best Mathews ever made 💯

Still shooting my switchback. Never had a reason to replace it.

My backup is a Switchback XT! They shoot very sweet!

A string stop gets rid of that twang. Many of us put one on our older mathews when the sts string stops came out.

Love the video. I remember seeing the ads for the switchback when it was released and wanting one. I currently have a VXR and love it. In all fairness the whisker biscuit vs. the drop away rest is, in my opinion, a wash. The whisker biscuit isn’t a great rest for new archers, because, it holds the arrow in a full containment. The draw back is, it holds the arrow as long as the arrow is be projected through the bow after releasing the string. This can cause grouping to be a little loose. I know you know this. Great video, enjoyed it!

String stop makes the switchback deathly quite. Had one and set up hundreds of switchbacks all where shooters. I still think that the camo pattern on the switchback made it the most appealing bow in that era.

Absolutely

That's a grip from torqueless grips on the switchback. I had one in my bowtech experience. That's not factory

I can take a Switchback or Switchback xt right now and shoot a 300. If you can shoot then it doesn't matter what year bow is in your hands.

The single cam bows were so reliable. Way back the MQ1 and DXT were single cam. They are crude in draw compared to todays bows. Like pulling your guts out. I killed a lot of animals with those two.

Put a STS string stop on the Switchback, it will be so much nicer.

I still have one like brand new, not long after I got it I started shooting Traditional. Killed a few deer with it. It is an awesome bow.

Your draw length is way too short for the switch back. And need dead stop in the middle

That looks like a custom grip. The stock switchback had the same engraved walnut grips as the Q and MQ.

Just bought a used switchback xt instead of a new mid priced bow. Hopefully I made the right choice... I'm no expert...but from reviews seems like switchback was a good choice....

It's probably the most beloved Mathew's bow ever made. I think you'll love it if the draw fits ok.
