I just can't see shy anyone wants to bash either bow company. They both make oustanding bows. Whenn I tried out bows in January, I got itdown to 4 bows. 2 Mathews and 2 bowtechs. I wound up bying the Bowtech Patriot VFT. But out of the number of bows I shot The LX, Outback, Prtiot VFT, and the Patriot Dully were the final 4 and my decision could of went any way.
