Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

The Mission Journey is a great shooting bow that can be found for a very reasonable price and would make a great bow for any level archer. The Mathews Switchback XT is often mentioned as the best Mathews ever made, and the Mission Journey is nearly the same bow with a different name. The short axle-to-axle makes it ideal for hunting while the 315 fps IBO speed ensures that it is fast enough to take down big game. Read full review...

The Mathews Switchback XT is a superior quality bow from the Mathews Switchback series. This is a very quiet, compact, and forgiving bow. When it comes to shootability this rig is even smoother than the original legendary Switchback. A short 31" axle-to-axle length makes it the ideal bow for both tree stand hunting and blind hunting.
