Fellas,
Pulled back the PSE last thursday and blew a limb. Is the Drenalin worth it?

Im no expert, but i absolutely love my Mathews Drenalin. Bought it this year. I have already shot 2 does, and missed an 8pt. at 50 yds. Actually shouldn't have taken the shot. Bow is super fast and super quiet.

It's the first year with their new "revolutionary slim limbs" If I were you, I'd try to find a really nice used Switchback, or Switchback XT, possibly even an LX or Legacy. I'd give those new "slim limbs" a couple years just to make sure they are all they are made out to be. Let the other folks test the waters for a couple years. Usually the first year someone comes out with something is the worst year to get it...the 2nd and 3rd years are best because they have had time to fix a lot of small unforseen problems that arise with day to day use of products.

went in the store to buy the drenalin, but walked out with the switchback xt. it was a tough decision between the hoyt vetrix and switchback xt.

I agree with dutch dog about the first year is the worst time to buy something, Although, all matthews bows have a lifetime warranty. and its not like slimb limbs just came out this year, Matthews has already thought of and produced whats going to be on there bows for the next ten years.
Id buy the drenalin without any questions.

I just liked the way the switchback xt shot. Dont get me wrong, the Drenalin is a fine bow, i just think the switchback xt was better. The Dranalin had more kick IMHO. Maybe cause its lighter? I really havent studied the specs this year, I just went in the bow shop, shot all the bows and picked out my favorite two and shot them a ton until I had my mind up.

I just bought a diamond black ice...some may not like em...light weight, smooth draw, and quiet!!! I shot the switchback xt, LD, and the drenaline and neither felt as good as the diamond

Archery Research (AR) great bows, very fast, qiuet, and parallel limbs......you can usually find great prices on them used, if you look hard enough

Would you buy a 3 yr old computer b/c they might not have tweaked thier performance of the newer technology???
Worse case scenario the whole thing blows up when you shoot it and Mathews sends you a brand new one.
