They are both good bows, and will get the job done. The grips are very different, the Outback being somewhat fat, and the Liberty very slim. There is much more adjustability in the Liberty cam. Draw length, let off, and valley are all adjustable. The Outback has a very narrow valley (nearly nonexistent). It is also a little faster, though a pound or so heavier. I'd expect the decision will come down to what you like better after shooting them both. Either bow would be a very good choice for a hunting bow. For what it's worth, (I know, not much [&:]) I'll be hunting with a Liberty this fall.
