Hi, My Name Is BigJ12 And I'm A Bowaholic
I can't believe what just happened.....One minute I'm looking at some stuff at my local Pro-shop and the next I'm walking out with a bow!!!
I need serious help....really.
I can't pass up a deal it's just not in my blood. I was talking to the shop owner about my recentbow purchase (Fred Bear Code...from him)andwhat my findings were about the various bows I shot to compare (some he was aware of because they were in his shop) I got to the Mathews Switchback LD and told him I liked the bow but decided to go with the FB Code in the end.
He looks at me and says "Would you be interested in a used one?" Well I said it depends on the price.
I really don't want to say how much I paid as the shop owner asked me to keep it to my self but it was a fantastic price and a sort of thank you for the last two bows I purchased (both from him) as well as a lot of other miscellaneous gear.
It's a 2007 modelin great shape, not a mark on it and it still has the original cable/string set. It came with a 32in draw cam. It's my draw length but I prefer a 31 for a hunting bow but I will see how it is before I swap out cams just yet.
So there you have it, I did it again. I will post some pics before I check myself into rehab.

I'm the same way. Definate bowaholic! I have 6 right now and if it weren't for my wife I'd probably have more. She's already made it clear that if I want to buy another bow then I need to get rid of one that I already have.
