I went to the pro shop to buy an Outback or LX, I shot several different brands of bows to include the two Mathew's bows and Hoyt. I ended up with the Xtec. It is a fantastic bow.

I thought the draw and vibration (virtually none) between the Outback and Xtec were about the same. The Xtec seemed a little faster (splitting hairs). The big difference for me was that I have a 30.5 in draw. The Outback is only 31 ATA and at full draw felt aquward to me. The Xtec is around 35 ATA.

If I were a little guy with a 27 to 28 draw, I would be a tougher choice, but I would probably look at the Supertec to gain some speed with a short draw. Just my opinion.
