Hay yall,
I'm in college and money is really tight. I have been savin my money for a wile now and decided to get a new bow. I got my choices down to three. (yes i know there like the most expensive) The mathews switch back, Diamond Black Ice by bow tech and the Hoyt vectrix, my problem lies in the fact that i need a 31inch draw but i like a 30 1/2 with a string loop. the mathews only goes out to 30 inch so with the string loop it would be a half inch short. the black ice i was told can be re-adjusted to make it shoot in the 31 inch range the hoyt is the only bow that is set from the factory to shoot 31 inch draws. I know a lot of yall might have one of these or may have more experince in bow hunting than me so let me know what yall think.....i have been savin my beer money and my girlfriends buy me somethin money (u know the money i'm supose to use to buy her crap) to buy me a good bow. it's my first new bow so i want to get the best possible option.

Thank yall for your imput

Would go to a bow shop and shoot each of those you mention and see which one feels best.

btw, this would probably get better response in the archery room.

I think the switchback LD has longer draw lengths, like 32", but not sure.

Hay is for horses.

Try them all out and go with the one that is most comfortable to shoot. It's all personal preference.

I agree, don't let us decide for you, go to a pro shop and shoot a variety of bows and get one that feels best to you. You will see their are many choices but to put on in your hands and shoot an arrow will be the best judge!

Good luck!
