Mathews Drenalin

[buckhunter89111]

What do you guys think about the Mathews Drenalin bow that just came out because i got one for Christmas and i was wanting to know if i should keep that one or get a Switchback

[DocHolladay]

I would keep it as it is supposed to be an upgrade from the Switchback.

IMO all Mathews are over rated and so are several other bows. My bow cost $300 as a package and I am extremely happy with it. Quiet, smooth, accurate, light and affordable. Of course the new bow I am looking at cost about $100 less than a Mathews, so who am I to talk.

BH, I don't know what you are shooting now or how experienced you are but Mathews, as well as a lot of other companies, are making some outstanding equipment. I shoot a Switchback and I love it. The Drenalin is supposed to be an upgrade and if you want to shoot a Mathews I would stay with what you got. It doesn't make sense to trade down to a Switchback. But you also may want to look at other less expensive bows. The shop where the bow was bought could probably set you up with an entire package, including rest, sight and arrows for what you have in that Drenalin. According to the website it retails for $849. If you are just starting out that could get you a lot of equipment as well as a quality bow. But after saying all that I wouldn't get rid of my Switchback for anything. I guess in the end it all depends on what you want to do and maybe the best advice is go to the pro shop and talk to them. A bit of advice; I probably learned more about archery and bowhunting just talking to the people who come into the shop and shoot at the range there, than I did from any other source.

I would keep that drenalin. I recently purchased one and love it. I am shooting 6 inch groups at 70yds. The bows are very quiet, light and compact. This will make you wonder how you ever hunted with anything else. I would never have imagined my old bow was that loud until I compared them.

I want to try one so badly. I was picking up some arrows from getting fletched and it looks so cool.

i am shouting a drenaline.
i find it very smooth but a little hard to controle .i think that the bace height myght be to short .i am satisfied but i dont have a much groupement that i expected it to be.

very light and fast .its a short shot bow.a bit to nervous for more than 30 yards shot.

[bambeklr]

I would say you need to practice some more with it then. I am shooting my bow very well.

This is my 30 yard group from my drenalin.

This is my 70 yard group with it.


I would hardly call it a short shot bow. I myself would not be happy spending that kind of money if I was limited to only 30 yards. But thats just my opinion. Hopefully your groups will get better.

i practice every day.and thats wy i foud it goud but any body that shoot this bow will apreciate it....but if you give a little shack at the release and its gone.

[bambeklr]

If you torque your hand at the release almost all bows will throw and odd arrow. But if you have a drop away arrow rest it will fix some of that problem.

Where did you get that 3d deer at that says wether its a liver,heart,lung etc... I am looking to get one but I am not quite sure which one to get. I know mckenzie and glendel are good ones.

[bambeklr]

I got that glendell full rut in gander mountain. They have them in cabelas and dikc's sporting goods also. They are pretty good. But broadheads tear them up. I would get a rinhart 18-1 for them.

i havent shot the drenalin yet, but i hear it is a sweet bow. I am very happy with the switchbacks performance. they are both great bows but if i had the drenalin, i would definitely stick with it.
