Mathews switchback XT
I was just curious what you guys paid for a switchback or what they cost at ur local shop. I am thinking of getting one but they cost $769 at the nearest dealer and it seemed a little steep for just a bare bow. Thanks for you input!!

RE: Mathews switchback XT
Something I don't understand is that I went to a bow shop the other day.
They told me that the dealerships are required by Matthews to sell their bows at a set price. If that is the case, then why are all dealerships different?
Personally, I don't care that they can sell them for less, because I am looking into buying an LD, and I would love to play less than $738, but according to the shop, the price is supposedly "SET" by Matthews.
Is what the dealership telling me true, or are they just using it as a reason to not lower their price?
By the way...the XT was $718, and the LD was just about $20 more than that.

RE: Mathews switchback XT
I have worked for a Mathews dealer before and I also just bought a XT from the local dealer here. Mathews does not set the price, they just give suggested prices. The dealer can sell it for whatever he wants. For instance, I got mine for $675 and another guy I know got his for $700. Reason being that I am in the store all the time and spend a lot of money their. The other guy is never in there but still got a good deal at $700.00. The dealer that is telling you this isn't being truthful from my experience. Maybe it is different in different states. Hope this helps.

A shop here in Wisconsin was selling them for $750 but that included a FREE whitetail shoulder mount by a champion taxidermist. Normally they charge $450 for a shoulder mount. That's a dang good promotion.
