Same cam and pull as a Switchback for 1/3 the price
by Bob Lee from Arkansas - March 3, 2019 at 8:36 pm

Version: 2008 Mission X4

Rating:

Pros: If you compare it's specs to a Switchback it is the same minus 8fps slower, coming in at 310fps vs 318fps.

It is all camo now instead of the X3 black riser

Cons: It doesn't have a string stop. It uses cam's for draw length. It does not have all the harmonic stabilizer mounts, string rollers - but it costs a whole lost less and you can add aftermarket ones for lower cost.

Full review:

This bow pulls like glass and it's cams are outstanding.

It literally is a switchback in a conventional hunting configuration vs the switchback's "W" aesthetic style. If you don't care about looks, and want same performance and draw, this is the bow you want and save a lot of money to put towards arrows, sights, rests, etc.

The deer, turkey, or bear won't know the difference or care.

It's grip is outstanding.

For the money it's tough to beat the Mission Bows from Mathews.

Cons: Only 65% Letoff, A little on the heavy side.

Full review:

The Mission line of bows from Mathews have the same high standards as the $1000 bows for half the price. When Mathews is ready to retire a technology from their line and come out with something different a new Mission Bow is born.

Basically a Mission is a 1-2 year old Mathews. All the quality craftsmanship that is in the Mathews line can be seen in the Mission X4. First look at the bow will show you a beautiful hardwood grip, flawless finish and the looks and lines of a top of the line Mathews.

Drawing the bow is butter smooth, the transition from the max weight into the valley is hardly noticeable due to the bow's 65% let off. The drawback to this ultra smooth pull is there is no room for creep at all. You let up just a little and the bow wants to go.

When firing there is very little noise or hand shock and the bow appears to be very fast, I don't have actual readings on it because I lack the equipment to do so. When at full draw the bow settles in very nice and seems rock steady.

Overall I was extremely impressed with the quality bow I got for the money and would recommend the Mission line to anybody looking for a great lower cost hunting bow.
