I got my Outback and LX both for $599 !!

After owning both.......I'd give the nod to the Outback ! But the LX does have some better qualities ........it has a little smoother draw and is more stable IMO ! Overall.......I think it is a little more accurate !

For a hunting bow though........the OB is plenty accurate and extremely quiet ! It is smaller and a little more versitile and the extra brace height is better on the forearms ! And it's got the new camo.........come on......you know how important that is !!

Not a Hoyt man......so can't help you there !!
