both good bows. seems like the outback pulls a little harder than the swb. the switch back does not have a draw stop. THe out back has a bigger brace height but shorter riser. i dont have the switchback or the outback but what i have heard is the switchback is a little touchy to shoot, but you also here guys that say it is the best shooting bow they ever had. i would go to www.mathewsinc.com and look at their forums.
