[Ghost Maker Calls]

Illinois bowhunter here, have to be because gun season is so danged short

I think Ive found a good deal on bow Its a Hoyt Razertec for $150. Its a friend thats selling it to me so of course, he knocked it down a bit for me. It has everything on it, so I think all I need to do is buy a release and some arrows. What do y'all think. Mike, our rut starts around the first week or so of Oct. I was sitting in my stand last year with a cross bow, my harness, and my green bathin' suit hot hot hot

that hoyt will do just fine. 

[John from NY]

Oh yes. My number one passion. Come on bow season!!!

9/15 cannot get her fast enough... I'll be chasing some birds again   Forget the deer    J/K... just not my cup of tea, but we have some big die hard bow hunters on here.  I love shooting my bow, that's for sure!

Hello, look at my name.    Just kidding buddy. Love shooting my bow and it is an old one. Golden Eagle carbine. Here is a pic.

I will upgrade someday, but the way this one shoots will make it hard to do. I have it sighted in from 10 to 50 yards. I never plan on shooting at a deer at 50 yards, but it is a lot of fun practicing at that range.  Come on deer season.

i'm sure at one point, that was a higher end bow and one that many people harvested animals with.  it had the killin' power back then, just as it does today.  i'd take a smooth, quiet, forgiving bow, over many of the speed bows out there today.

i'f you upgrade, i'd hold on to that switchback, i think it's the best bow mathews has made.  i don't see the need for an upgrade, unless you are looking for more speed, which isn't needed.  just think how much money you'd be saving, if you opted not to get the carbon matrix.  

[creekrocket]

That Matrix looks sweet, but doesnt Mathews own the market as far as quiet bows go? Craig, you need to just get rid of that old ugly mathews and get the new Carbon. I know somebody that really would like that Mathews

[muddpuppi]

well the upgrade would depend on the price...i have a good friend that has a local archery shop and i used to shoot on his staff...just havnt had the time with all the kids...i was shootin the mathews apex 7 but got rid of it to get my other half a bow...but seein as our opener this yr falls on my weddin day i think she just might get me one for a weddin gift and just dont know yet...lol..but you are deff right that switchback isnt goin anywhere that is the only bow i have ever kept more than a yr
