So here's my two cents worth. Oddly enough I am under the same delima in thinking about the Outback or the Mighty Mite. I just went to the archery shop last weekend and shot both of these. My first impressions were that the Outback seemed a little heavier and I really didn't like the bulky grip, all things compared to just the Mighty Mite.

The MM seemed much faster than the Outback, at least to me. (This was just my feeling, no chronograph) Granted I'm still a beginner just looking for an upgrade from the first bow I bought a couple of years back...

What I was shocked about was that I really didn't like the Outback. The reason I was shocked is because I've shot my father-in-law's Legacy and my brother-in-law's SQ2 and I was pretty impressed with them. I had just figured that I would have jumped on the band wagon and liked the new Outback... But instead I am extremely impressed with the Mighty Mite.

The one down side that I did have with the MM compared to the Outback was that the hand shock was noticeable. The Outback had much less shock, actually none, compared to the MightyMite...

Now here is my question... Is the 2005 MM going have any significant changes? I was impressed with the one I shot last weekend and thought about purchasing it but then some how I've been sucked into this hype of the new 2005 models coming out... Can any one out there tell me what the difference is going to be between the 2004 and 2005 MM or should I now wait for something in the Equalizer system... Did I mention that I'm feeling impatient on waiting...

Well any ways, that was just my feeling/impressions on the two seeing as someone else was out there with the same comparisons... Hope some of my thoughts made sense and I don't look like too much of an idiot...
