Interesting comments. Some surprise but not much. Your findings are relatively similiar to what most of the other folks I have been talking have been saying. I am surprised that Mathews has not come out with an "Outback XL" for those guys who prefer the mid to longer axle to axle length models. I think it would be a big hit....
...though if it followed the pattern of the Outback then it would be close to five pounds bare bow...

Just some humor...ofcourse.
