This week we wanted to do an old school hunt down in Mississippi. I bought a Mathews Switchback on Bay, set it up, and took it down south! Incredible hunt on the Delta.
Not knocking Levi, but he bought old school setup, then changed the rest and sight to modern stuff. So that's not debunking anything. Plus guys kill deer with Longbows, any compound is gonna kill a deer.
Ya you don’t need it but you don’t need a Ferrari to drive either I used my 2009 diamond black ice until the beginning of 23’ killed 4+ deer a year with it it works no doubt But I bought the Mathew’s phase 4 this year and man it’s sweet smooth fast and quite but they all work as long as you practice and can shoot
Very nice video Levi! You and Chris Bee are the TH-cam Goats… My first mathews was a switch back….so great and it started my journey with mathews bows to the point I now own a V3X….great bows and a great company… Thanks for doing a video like this! Thumbs way up bud
Awesome way to do it. You should bring it out every year on one of your hunts. I have a 2006 PSE Fire 🔥 Flite 33 that I got while working at Cabela’s back in 06. I need to make her a killer next year. Sadly 16 years and she never tasted blood 🩸 but missed three times in one year but that’s on me. I wanted a Switchback back in the day but couldn’t afford it. Congratulations on a cool 😎 7 point buck 🦌
My first bow, and only bow (purchased second hand 2yrs ago) is a Mathews Outback. I learnt on this bow, and now hunt with this bow. It’s been fantastic👍 Had a major splinter in the top limb, as round as my little finger. I wrote to Mathews to see if I could purchase new limbs and even though I’m not the original owner, and the bow is about 20yrs old, they shipped replacement limbs to Australia at no cost to me, not even for the freight. I’ve never heard of service like that before, thank you Mathews👍 I’ve looked for more information about the “Outback” but it has been hard to find. I’m curious about the differences between the Outback, Switchback, and XT as they look very similar to me. Thanks from Australia for another great vid Levi. Best wishes Peter👍🏹
Got my switchback in 07’ still shooting it till this day. Never had a reason to upgrade. Constant killing piece of equipment. Glad you put this video out. I have taken several deer with my switchback and it’s really cool too bring back the old bow
I killed my biggest eight pointer five years ago with a vintage PSE fire flight, I’ve been thinking about getting an old Matthews Z7 next. It’s fun getting out the old equipment every now and then.
A Mathews Switchback is old school? lmao. Bought mine in 2005 and still kill deer with it every season. If you want old school, go back to a 60's compound bow.
My dad used this bow from release (2007) until 2022 and took his last bull elk in September 22 with it before hanging it up for a new Hoyt. Replaced the strings 1 time. These bows are just excellent and still 100% capable.
I like how this is a headline for a video like this is something amazing like I don’t still hunt with a switchback XT 😂 along with probably thousands of other people
Hunted with my old switchback until 2 seasons ago. Still have it. Still love it. Switched to a Vertix 2 years ago and love it. Seriously leaning towards getting a Lift now. Mathews for life!!!
The coolest thing about this video is watching you go back in time with the bow and still shoot dimes. Just goes to show if you put in the work anything is accurate. Doesn’t matter if it’s a slider or fixed pin… hinge, thumb, or wrist strap…. Drop away or a biscuit….. the shooter and the work they put in is what matters! Good work! Congrats on the Deer!
My local bow shop tells all the time that I'm "such a old schooler" I still shoot my 1999 feather light with a 2000 Zmax cam installed . Shoots about 245fps ,slow yes, but the energy it produces ... I hunt with my 2009 Drenalin, which is still amazing bow to this day . I can buy any bow I wish, but why ? 100g thunder heads ( yep old school again ) and a Mathew bow puts them down every year . Great video!!!
Been using a switchback XT since they first came out. No need for another set-up! Fantastic bow .... I'm using old but great gear. I tune old school, build my arrows old school, use fixed blades so sharp you shave with them and I've never known it was a "this thing" as mentioned in the video, 😄! It's never let me down, other than replacing limbs once.
Switchback is an old model, but it’s still considered the epitome of a bow by some. Myself, I still use my 2013 Chill R and it shoots just as good as it did new. I recently put new strings on it.
I still shoot the MQ32 which is even older and slower. What’s the advantage of the newer high tech bows? I might get one if I understood (and had the money).
This video inspired me to finally buy a Switchback XT. I found one in near mint condition for $450. I don't think the seller knew what they had because it was listed only as "Mathews Solo Cam Bow" and didn't even say the model. I think that's why no one else bought it. It came with a QAD rest and a Mathews quiver as well. The string needed to be replaced which is crazy because the bow barely looked used. They must've taken good care of it despite shooting a lot.
2005-08 Switchback was 33" ATA, 318 fps, 7" brace height, & 4 pounds. MSRP was $795. MIssion line up today is 300 fps, 305 fps, & 324 fps. There's not much about this Switchback set up that I would consider that old.
I had an original Switchback. Last wheel bow I owned before going trad-only. Agreed...one if the best bows Mathews ever made! Enjoyed the over-the-shoulder. Well done.
How much better are the new bows than a switchback? I have an XT and couldn't imagine it being too much better. It's a great bow. Been thinking about getting a V3 or Vertix. Something new but not newest.
I have a outback and v3x I love my outback but the v3x is definitely a much better bow it has a back wall and no creep way faster and over all just more accurate
@@hunterchastain9323 I actually just bought a No Cam HTR a few days ago! It's not quite as new as I originally planned but it shoots so nice. It came fully loaded with Mathews and QAD accessories for 500 bucks.
Well… not sure how to take this video😂 cause I bought the original Switchback in maybe 2005 and I STILL USE THIS BOW TODAY!! Guess if it ain’t broke don’t fix it huh?
To be honest, I like the older design bows from Mathews better than the new ones. The DXT & Drenalin are 2 of the best of AlL bows from Mathews or any other brands. I still have & shoot my DXT from ‘08. It’s the lightest bow I’ve ever shot. Mathews make great bows but in my opinion, they could’ve continue making these older design bows for 10+ yrs & still sell them. However, I can see why they keep updating their designs…..change/innovation sells
Ya know my Mathews dealer told me not long ago, that they absolutely nailed it with the Switchback. And they've been essentially expanding on that design since then.
I shoot a Mathew’s outback right now I think the only difference outback is 29 ata but I love that bow and I’m to cheap to pay 1200 for a new one beat 400 I’ve ever spent and the thing is deadly
My first bow was the Q2. In 2000. Your switchback came out in 06. Hard to find because they are still in use. I’d argue they haven’t gotten much better. Compared to my v3x and Atlas. Only slightly faster. Slightly!
Thank you Levi 🙏 that’s my first bow bought two years ago and I love to shoot now. I’m old school old guy lol really appreciate you validating my choice of bow, or the bow gifted me by the most wonderful archery shop in the world. Shout out to Riverside Archery Mt Vernon WA🙏👍😎
Classic icon bow. Native americans killed for hundreds of years with primitive equipment.. Hell, thousands of years. They killed to literally survive though. Aint no well i guess we run to sonic later since i missed!!
I destroyed my bow a month before season this year. Bought a $250 elite tempo on ebay, swapped sight,rest and mods, tuned her up and killed a buck opening weekend. How expensive your equipment is has nothing to do with killing deer. Spend the money on a good tree stand before buying a $2500 bow.
great bow, better then most current bows, no gizmos, easy to tune, replace cams cables and strings without a bow press. killed a water buffalo with one using a 720gr arrow
Levi , i still have my 2010/11 Matthews Z7 almost like the switchback , if you could see me outshoot some people with modern bows ! lol !!! i will never get rid of it , all my gear on it is top notched modern stuff though !!!! good video brother !!!
Seriously, archers haven't been able to outshoot stock bows since the mid 2000's when pivoting limb pockets and cnc machining became mainstream. Unfortunately i'm old enough to remember having to shim limbs in the pockets to have consistent accuracy. Quality control and tight tolerances have allowed companies to make all bows crazy accurate, and as long as you can tune your bow to perform for you your golden with whatever you feel like shooting.
I still use shoot my Switchback and have taken animals throughout NorthAmerica to numerous trips to Africa. Fred Bear killed most of his animals shooting a recurve that produced 175 feet per second. Of course we all like new stuff so if it makes you happy why not get the biggest and the best.
I wish I would have kept my s2 when I was practicing a lot I shot 23 Robbin hoods in 6 months shooting 4 arrows. I bought the z7 xtreme when they first came out and still shoot it . I’ve Robbin hooded 6 arrows with the xtreme which I love and will never get rid of it. I’m still thinking about getting an s2 again.
People act like old bow won’t kill because it’s old they shoot just like the new and kill just the same. And those bows aren’t even old. Use one from the 80-90s. Even then want a “challenge” more challenging use a recurve or a long bow
The switchback obviously isnt old enough to be less effective whatsoever.. I have a q32 from like 99 or 2000 that i can shoot just as good as any new bow. You have to go back to the 80s early 90s to start seeing disadvantages.
switchback and monster 6 are bows i would never sell. bought a lift to replace a z7, prior to rhe purchase finally found someone who could tune the fing thing. lift nightmare begings its not like the switchback or monster that only needed eyeballing to set them up to be extremely consistent accurate bows. modern crap needs a store, a day and a bit to tune it
It breaks my heart to know a switchback is considered old lol my first bow was a bear whitetail ..60% let off round wheels..could Barely shoot 30yds lol 😊
I have one of the original Mathews from when they first became Mathews in the beginning they were McPherson it still has the old Metal prongs rest. I also have a switchback that I killed several bucks with. But now hunt with a newer model.
Hello Levi, please do something different, as you're the real goat in archery and the true professional in this sport and hunting which is i find you kinda different from other archers youtuber. Would you try use a chinese made hunting compound bow like SANLIDA and hunt with it. Well im not from them, but as a new comer in this sport and only use cheap chinese brand bow for a starter sometime we the new comer also wanna see that our type of entry level bow also capable to go hunt like this. This because most of the famous archers youtuber not testing entry level bow like this. Hope to see soon
I caught myself on ebay 20yrs after I sold my Mq1, I did the same deal all old school. $100 bid took it and later a onefiddy. I still use a lil goose haha. Can't kill it
People can clean there wallets out for now a day bows? I still use a bear from 2016 and sometimes a parker ultra lite 30 plus and kill plenty of big bucks and does
Sweet hunt Mr. Great story and video. I still a dxt I bought new. In a case ready to hunt lol. Gave my mq1 to a youngster down the road a couple years to see if he liked archer
I still actively hunt with my switchback saved up and waited for Matthew’s to come out with new model for the year bought then they released the xt later that year I was disappointed but still killing deer with the original switchback
Killed my 10 pointer this year with a switchback. First year bow hunting I was thinking about investing in a newer one but I keep seeing people say they wished kept their switchbacks
When those Switchbacks came out a lot of my friends were getting. I almost bought one but decided I could afford at the time. Now I have wanted to add one to my collection of old vintage bows. Thanks for sharing.
This is awesome. Been wanting to upgrade my 2020 bow. For no reason other than want to get the new hotness. This just made me realize I don’t need to at all
I killed two deer this year with matthews z7 extreme that I’ve had for well over a decade as I do every year. Why change when this bow is a deer elk dropper that I can hold drawn for a long time when necessary
My dad shot a switch back up until last year and the only reason he upgraded is because someone had a really good deal on a new Mathew’s lol and he keeps saying he’s going back
Are you related to Andy Morgan I loved watching him and the G man (Gerald Swindle) on a show called the hit list . Those two were great comedy when they where togather
Dude, I love that you’re more active on TH-cam now! Probably my favorite channel!
I agree. Solid stuff.
Levi just debunked the whole archery industry. You don't need a 2500 dollar setup to kill deer. He just proved it.
This is America! We don't buy everything we need at the best price! Hogwash!! We buy what we want 🤑
Not knocking Levi, but he bought old school setup, then changed the rest and sight to modern stuff. So that's not debunking anything. Plus guys kill deer with Longbows, any compound is gonna kill a deer.
Ya you don’t need it but you don’t need a Ferrari to drive either I used my 2009 diamond black ice until the beginning of 23’ killed 4+ deer a year with it it works no doubt But I bought the Mathew’s phase 4 this year and man it’s sweet smooth fast and quite but they all work as long as you practice and can shoot
Thats absurd
Are you kidding me? You realize people have been killing deer with trad bows and long bows for years right? Levi didn’t debunk anything. Settle down
Very nice video Levi!
You and Chris Bee are the TH-cam Goats…
My first mathews was a switch back….so great and it started my journey with mathews bows to the point I now own a V3X….great bows and a great company…
Thanks for doing a video like this!
Thumbs way up bud
Still have my old Switchback...one of the best bow Mathews ever made!!! What a cool video, Congrats Levi!!!!!
Awesome way to do it. You should bring it out every year on one of your hunts.
I have a 2006 PSE Fire 🔥 Flite 33 that I got while working at Cabela’s back in 06. I need to make her a killer next year. Sadly 16 years and she never tasted blood 🩸 but missed three times in one year but that’s on me.

I still use my switchback

First time hearing old school compound
Got my switchback in 07’ still shooting it till this day. Never had a reason to upgrade. Constant killing piece of equipment. Glad you put this video out. I have taken several deer with my switchback and it’s really cool too bring back the old bow
Same here. Bought 3-4 other bows trying to upgrade, but nothing feels better.
My brother to this day still shoots his switchback. The guy kills deer like no other also.
Would be interesting to know which Mathews bow is responsible for killing the most deer. I think the ole switchback just might be it!
I killed my biggest eight pointer five years ago with a vintage PSE fire flight, I’ve been thinking about getting an old Matthews Z7 next. It’s fun getting out the old equipment every now and then.
I still hunt with my switchback kill every year!
A Mathews Switchback is old school? lmao. Bought mine in 2005 and still kill deer with it every season. If you want old school, go back to a 60's compound bow.
I'll never get rid of my switchback. Awesome vid Levi. Really enjoyed it.
This isn't old school stuff.. Those bows were so easy to shoot. I wanna see you use an old Bear whitetail II with fingers...... 😂😂
Still a modern bow. Big deal. Nice deer though and great job!
My dad used this bow from release (2007) until 2022 and took his last bull elk in September 22 with it before hanging it up for a new Hoyt. Replaced the strings 1 time. These bows are just excellent and still 100% capable.
I went from mathews to hoyt. Never liked the old hosts but man I tell ya the alpha x is the smoothest bow I've ever shot
I like how this is a headline for a video like this is something amazing like I don’t still hunt with a switchback XT 😂 along with probably thousands of other people
Hunted with my old switchback until 2 seasons ago. Still have it. Still love it. Switched to a Vertix 2 years ago and love it. Seriously leaning towards getting a Lift now. Mathews for life!!!
I really wish companies would go back to offering solo cams! Absolutely the best feeling bows and IMHO they had the let-offs perfect!
Bear has a few bows that are solo cams.
I use to have the switchback xt loved that bow wish I would have never sold it. In my opinion it was the best bow mathews ever made.
The coolest thing about this video is watching you go back in time with the bow and still shoot dimes. Just goes to show if you put in the work anything is accurate. Doesn’t matter if it’s a slider or fixed pin… hinge, thumb, or wrist strap…. Drop away or a biscuit….. the shooter and the work they put in is what matters! Good work! Congrats on the Deer!
You realize a Swithcback is a top end flagship bow right? New bows today are no better.
My local bow shop tells all the time that I'm "such a old schooler" I still shoot my 1999 feather light with a 2000 Zmax cam installed . Shoots about 245fps ,slow yes, but the energy it produces ...

I killed a really nice pa 8pt scoring 120” with my grandpas 1994 Mathews solo cam feather light at 35 yards with a heart shot.
I'm still slinging arrows with my switchback xt,and still love it,qyite as hell but lil slower than most but just aim lil low lol,great video
You should designate a hunt each year to break out the Switchback
Super cool video, Levi! Love the creative work brining back the SWITCHBACK. Happy New Year!

Your retro is my everyday😂. I never parted from my Switchback. Still use it today and bought a 2nd last week.
My first Mathews was a ‘95 SoloCam, upgraded to a SwitchBack XT ….. thinks it’s time for a Lift! 🏹

Hell. I have an old Bear Kodiak Magnum with the hard rock maple riser. Adjustable from 55lbs -85lbs. A whopping 20% let off. Now I want to use it.

I use a Mathews SQ1 and it still puts the arrows where they need to be at 60lbs draw.
Archery industry needs to go back to affordable bows.
Still hunt with my Switchback😔😂... Bought about 3-4 other bows over the years but nothing has felt better than my switchback!!!!

Imagine if Levi Morgan bought your switchback, hahaha I would freak out
So awesome! I still shoot my DXT I bought brand new in 2008. Absolutely love it.
switchback and monster 6 are bows i would never sell. bought a lift to replace a z7, prior to rhe purchase finally found someone who could tune the fing thing. lift nightmare begings its not like the switchback or monster that only needed eyeballing to set them up to be extremely consistent accurate bows. modern crap needs a store, a day and a bit to tune it

I have one of the original Mathews from when they first became Mathews in the beginning they were McPherson it still has the old
Metal prongs rest. I also have a switchback that I killed several bucks with. But now hunt with a newer model.
Had to send this to my cousin in Arkansas still shoots a Switchback! Very Cool! thank you!
Hello Levi, please do something different, as you're the real goat in archery and the true professional in this sport and hunting which is i find you kinda different from other archers youtuber. Would you try use a chinese made hunting compound bow like SANLIDA and hunt with it. Well im not from them, but as a new comer in this sport and only use cheap chinese brand bow for a starter sometime we the new comer also wanna see that our type of entry level bow also capable to go hunt like this. This because most of the famous archers youtuber not testing entry level bow like this. Hope to see soon
Hahaha I'm old. If I were to hunt with the bow I had as a teen I'm looking at the 80s and it's so primitive compared to the early 2000's.
Awsome stuff! Let’s see your saddle hunting setup, and any tips or tricks you have!!
I still use my Mathews Outback on the rare occasion I pull out the wheels. Still shoots 50+ x count 300's every week at league.
Switchback is old school? 😅😅😅😅try a whitetail II and some aluminum arrows
Remember your top end bow today, will be 10yrs old in 10yrs. Could they not kill animals dead 10yrs ago?
I caught myself on ebay 20yrs after I sold my Mq1, I did the same deal all old school. $100 bid took it and later a onefiddy. I still use a lil goose haha. Can't kill it
People can clean there wallets out for now a day bows? I still use a bear from 2016 and sometimes a parker ultra lite 30 plus and kill plenty of big bucks and does
Sweet hunt Mr. Great story and video. I still a dxt I bought new. In a case ready to hunt lol. Gave my mq1 to a youngster down the road a couple years to see if he liked archer
I still actively hunt with my switchback saved up and waited for Matthew’s to come out with new model for the year bought then they released the xt later that year I was disappointed but still killing deer with the original switchback
I still shoot a 2009 bowtech. It's junk but kills deer.
Killed my 10 pointer this year with a switchback. First year bow hunting I was thinking about investing in a newer one but I keep seeing people say they wished kept their switchbacks
I have newer bows, but I still kill deer on the regular with my Switchback XT.
Still dropping game every season with my XT, I’ll never upgrade. I love it
Epic video, thanks for making it and sharing it. What’s next, switchback at a 3D competition??
I’ve bee using an old Diamond justice for years old faithful I’d never give it up I would love to have this bow tho
I have two SBXT's! And now my 13 year is using one of them!
I use a switchback xt I purchase off of eBay a couple of years ago. It’s about 1 inch too short but I use it and love it. No need for a new bow.
When those Switchbacks came out a lot of my friends were getting. I almost bought one but decided I could afford at the time. Now I have wanted to add one to my collection of old vintage bows. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t believe anything got killed by anything ever before the lightning speed of todays overpriced ego bows
You talk about a switchback like it's some sort of ancient Indian artifact.
I still have my original switchback, it looks brand new! Didn’t know it’s worth that much still. Great video!
There is a few people left dropping 160's plus deer with the switchback!
I have a 2010 Z7 that we still use as an emergency back up. All 3 of us can shoot it well.
had the Mathews Q2 and took a couple deer with it before getting a different bow. . . . . . . wish I would have kept it.
Bro didn’t even have a stabilizer on it. 🤯 my pins would’ve been bobbing and weaving 😂😂
Switchback XT was the first bow i ever owned it was an amazing bow for the time and still is now.i still have never shot anything but a mathews
This is awesome. Been wanting to upgrade my 2020 bow. For no reason other than want to get the new hotness. This just made me realize I don’t need to at all
I killed two deer this year with matthews z7 extreme that I’ve had for well over a decade as I do every year. Why change when this bow is a deer elk dropper that I can hold drawn for a long time when necessary
He just proved you don’t have to have latest and greatest and spend several paychecks to kill a deer if your a killer your a killer great job
Shooting my switchback as you uploaded this love it
My dad shot a switch back up until last year and the only reason he upgraded is because someone had a really good deal on a new Mathew’s lol and he keeps saying he’s going back
He said "Switchback old", that's funny
Switchbacks can be hard to find, because hunters are reluctant to let go of such a great bow
Are you related to Andy Morgan I loved watching him and the G man (Gerald Swindle) on a show called the hit list . Those two were great comedy when they where togather
Brother, I’m convinced you would have the same success with a rock lol
