Default Well guys.....got an Outback......speed is a surprise !!!

Traded my LX for an Outback today ! Sweet shooting and no recoil ! The first one I shot was quieter w/ string silencers and limbsavers ......but this one is pretty darn quiet !

The biggest surprise was the speed !!!! I set it up with my same accessories as on my LX and the darn thing is only 1-2 fps slower than my LX !!

Now for those that don't know.....I'm shooting a Wisker Biscuit rest (untrimmed and have verified several times a 5 fps loss in speed) ! So with my bows set up with a loop, Tru-peep, and the WB are like this on 30" draw 80 % let off :

The LX on 69# was shooting a 350 grain ....299-300 fps !!

The Outback on 69# ....350 grain ........297-298 fps !!

The Outback will max on 75 # and was kicking out :

350 grains = 311 fps
369 grains = 304 fps
450 grains = 282 fps

All this with the WB rest !

Needless to say .........I know there are faster bows.....but this isn't supposed to be one ! I went to a smaller bow with an extra inch in brace height.....it's smoother and a little quieter..........and I only lost 2 fps !! And I felt like I got a good trade..........Life is Good !!
