    Ok for fun let's say you had to give up your new hunting rig for a older one let's say from 2010 or earlier what would you pick to take in the woods with you?
    I would pick between two Mathews switchback XT or the drenalin

    2010 or older............I'd have to say either a 10' Destroyer 340 or an 07' Allegiance.

    2008 Allegiance or this bow. It's a take down longbow, osage orange and cocobolo, I built it in 2006 for a South Dakota mule deer hunt. It still hangs behind me right beside my 360:

    I vote for the original Mathews Switchback, it's the one that got me started.

    I wished I hadn't sold my old Mathews Outback. I was lights out with that bow.

    I'm still shooting my Destroyer 350, so I would stick with that.

    2008 bowtech equalizer. Because that's what I'm still using and I haven't seen a newer bow that offers much more than it does.
