2020 Hoyt Torrex XT or Matthew’s Switchback XT

2 Upvotes

I currently have a Matthew’s switchback XT Bow and am very new to bow hunting. Have someone offering a 2020 Hoyt Torrex XT fully kitted with release for 400. Which is better or is this even worth the upgrade?

Vent: Crossbows

This 100% Will come off as exclusive or too purist, but I really can’t stand most crossbow hunters.

I’m all for getting people into hunting, don’t get me wrong, but when grown men who are fully capable of pulling back 70+lbs are using a crossbow it really rubs me the wrong way. I’ve seen crossbow hunters brag about shooting over 75yds on a whitetail, have an arrogant attitude about hunting and also be the biggest complainers. It could just be my sample size but it just feels wrong. Like a man golfing from the woman’s tees or bowling with the gutter guards up. They seem to be very results oriented rather than process & skill oriented. It’s the same people that brag about shooting 5 deer from over 200yds away. Like that’s not even hunting or even close to it.

The traditional/compound bow hunters seem to be more willing to put in the time to scout, follow an outdoorsman lifestyle, respect the game & overall work hard.

Disclaimer: this does not include those who physically cannot bow hunt due to injury, age, strength, etc.
