To each his own.I 'was'in the market for a new bow,and shot a lot of different,high quality bows,and not one,including the X-Tec,even came close to my LX.You see,it's all about whats right for you.The Outback is a nice shooter,but at 6'4"and a 30in. draw,I'm not interested in a short ATA bow,no matter how "big" it shoots....Bob
