I finally decided to get the Outback and get rid of my LX. The LX is a great bow but I had one BIG issue I couldn't get past. The brace height of 6 5/8" is just to short when hunting. My sleeve on my coveralls was a Murphy waiting to happen. The brace on my LX was 6 3/8" and Mathews wasn't much help in getting it right. They said I could send it to them but I never did. I bought a Winners choice string and cable and it was still 6 3/8". I could have twisted the cable and string and got it right but it would have taken a lot of twists. Well back to the Outback. I couldn't get a 60 lb. so I went for the 70 lb. It maxed out at 74 lbs. with the limbs bottomed out. I usually shoot with the limbs bottomed out as I have always felt the bow performed better. What do you guys thing as I had to take 3 turns off and it is at 64 lbs. now. Seems to shoot well and it is fast and quiet. I put a Muzzy zero effect, Spott-Hogg real deal and my Stealth 4" stablizer on it and she is sweet so far. I have only shot a bow over 70 once. It was a PSE laser magumn at 80 lbs. and it almost tore my sholder off. I shot the Outback at 74 lbs. about 50 times and although it was to much, I could probably get used to it. The string and cable look a lot better than the ones that came on my LX. They stretched real bad so I replaced them with the Winner's choice. Does anyone know if these are better or the same as last years. Thanks, Don
