If you liked the LX, you need to try out a Switchback and Drenalin also. The LX and Outback are actually my least favorite Mathews bows. I never liked the feel of the cam. Once you find out which you like, the classifieds at Archerytalk is a good place to find one. MASH HERE

That's a good deal. The draw weight can be adjusted down to 60#. To change the draw length you will need to change the cam out. You can also find used cams on Archerytalk. MASH HERE

What Cam size do you need JCarter? I've got a few different sized Switchback cams that I would trade for your 28.5.

QDMA, what sizes do you have? I'm thinking about going up on mine. currently have a 29" on it but thinking about a 29.5 or 30.
sorry about the highjack JC, looks like you are looking for something smaller than mine anyway.

Thanks ODMA but the local bow shop traded me a switchback xt with a 27.5 cam and paper tuned my whisker biscuit and mounted my sight for me. I lost the quiver and the spot hog in the deal but had another off a old Parker at the house and boought the react from Trophy Ridge from him so I am all set. Just may need a string after spring when I get to shooting a lot. Buckets of Bows will treat you right located in Fort Payne and he really took care of me. So I think I did pretty good I am out 275 out of pocket cash now sporting Switchback xt, React sight, whisker biscuit, 11 arrows, a case, target, and assorted broad heads, and all.

sorry about the highjack JC, looks like you are looking for something smaller than mine anyway. I know I have 29" and a 27.5". I had a 30" but I think I gave it to Rick at Archery Unlimited. I've got 28.5" on both of my switchbacks...I like the short/compact draw for hunting.

JCarter....Sounds like they got you fixed up. Good shooting to you. You'll enjoy that switchback.

If this fits the XT, want to sell or trade for a 28"? It's for the original switchback...I think they changed up the cams and limbs on the XT, but let me double check that and I'll get back to you.

The original Switchback and XT use the same cam, but the draw lengths will be different. If you put a 28" XT cam on regular Switchback, the draw will be longer than 28". By how much, Im not sure.

Thanks Shaw for getting me straight. I haven't looked at an XT in quite a while, but I knew there was some differences.

Same cam, but Mathews will tell you different. The draws won't match up. When I shot the Apex 7 I used an Apex 8 cam on it. Mathews also said it wouldn't work. To get the draw to 26.5" on the Apex 7, I used a 28" Apex 8 cam. There was a 1.5" difference between the two. The Prestige used the same cam as well. There was a 1.5" difference between it and the Apex 7. The differnce between the Prestige and an Apex 8 was 3".
