- Where Is The Mathews Bow Factory
I just bought my first bow off craigslist. It's a Mathews Switchback. I was told that the bow is 2-3 years old. Is there anyway to verify the exact model year of the bow? I'm mostly just curious, but also want to make sure I wasn't lied to. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Contact Mathews directly. My problem is that I cannot find a serial number for the bow anywhere on the bow. I need the serial number for two primary reasons: (1) for insurance purposes, and (2) for reporting to law enforcement should the bow be stolen. I would appreciate any help from you guys in locating that serial number.
- Retailer Location. Search for the retailer where your bow was purchased. Vertical Bow Serial # Location The serial number on all Mission vertical bows can be found on the back shelf of the bow above the grip. It is engraved into the riser of the bow. Crossbow Serial # Location The crossbow serial number can be located in one of two places.
- To activate your warranty, your bow must be registered within 1 year of purchase. Many of our retailers register it for you at the time of purchase, but you can also register it here at any time. Each bow has a unique serial number, which will be.

Bow Registration
How do I register my bow?
How do I find my serial number?
For all models with a serial number you will find it in two locations:
1. It will be located on the riser right below the grip.
2. It will be located on the riser below where the string stop and wrist sling are located.

General Questions
Where are Bowtech bows made?
Bowtech bows are manufactured and assembled in Eugene, Oregon
Learn more at our About Us page.
How often should I change my string and cable?
We suggest you change your strings and cables every 1-2 years. If you are seeing excessive wear such as, serving separation or fraying, you will want to consider changing your string and cables. It is a good idea to inspect your string and cable for this kind of wear before shooting your bow.
Will my bow shoot faster if I get a heavier limb poundage?
The IBO speed advertised is achieved with a 70lb bow with a 350 grain arrow. The IBO measurement allows the flexibility of using different poundage bows as long as the arrow weight is 5 grains per pound of draw weight. Because of this a 50lb bow paired with a 250 grain arrow (50×5=250) will shoot the same speed as a 70lb bow paired with a 350 grain arrow (70×5=350).
Can I replace the cams on my BT-X to change from a BT-X 31″ to a BT-X 28″?
You would not be able to change just the cams on the BT-X to convert between the two variations because the limbs, flex guard, string, and cables are not the same between two cam systems.
Can I order directly from Bowtech?
We are not set up as a retail facility and are not staffed to take retail orders. For this reason we do not sell directly to consumers. All orders need to be placed with your local authorized dealer.

Technology Questions
What is the difference in the let-off of my bow between the settings on the Powerdisc?
The settings on the PowerDisc are changing the draw cycle of the bow and should not affect the let-off.
What is the difference in speed between the PowerShift settings?
There will be a 4-7 fps difference between the settings on the PowerDisc. The Performance setting (1) will give you the most performance of the bow, while the Comfort setting (3) will give you a ultra smooth draw cycle. the Classic setting (2) will split the difference between the Performance and the Comfort settings.
Can I put a Flex Guard cable containment system on any bow?
Unfortunately the FLX guard technology is not compatible with 2009 or prior risers. Since the design of the riser is unique to the model of bow we do not have universal options for this technology.
I’m looking for accessory recommendations for my bow. What do you suggest?
Your local Dealer will be happy to recommend accessories for you based on your shooting style and needs. This is more easily done in their shop since they have the benefit of working with you in person. In most cases, they will be able set you up right then and there.
What module do I need for my draw length and where do I set the let-off post?
Your draw length module is determined by the year and model of your bow. See our Manuals section.
What should I do if my string and cables need to be replaced?
Your local Authorized Bowtech Dealer CLICK HERE for our Dealer Locator should perform any maintenance that requires a bow press – this includes changing your string and cables.

What is the benefit of using Bowtech factory made string and cables?
Bowtech utilizes the most state of the art string making techniques in the compound bow industry.

Can I use aftermarket string and cable sets on my Bowtech bow?
Many aftermarket string and cable(s) sets are only “close” on the lengths and diameters. This can drastically slow down, affect the performance, and significantly reduce the ease of tuning your bow. Use of aftermarket string and cable sets, and failure of that product resulting in further damage, will void the lifetime warranty of your bow.
How often should I change my strings and cables?
String and cable life is susceptible to a couple different factors. The first would be how much you shoot your bow, and second would be how well you take care of your strings. We recommend you regularly wax your string with a quality silicone based string wax. Most strings will last thousands of shots. As a pre-season practice, inspect your string for cuts, abrasions and fuzziness. These can all be signs that your string and cable(s) may need to be replaced. When in doubt, take your bow to your local Authorized Dealer CLICK HERE for our Dealer Locator and they can assist you in getting new Bowtech string and cable(s) on your bow.
Where is the center shot of my bow?
This can be set by measuring from the back of the riser to the arrow and then from the front of the riser to the arrow. Once this is equal, you are at the center shot of your bow. Keep in mind, not all bows tune at exact center shot due to the variances in arrow spine and your specific bow poundage. This is merely a starting point.
