i shot a mathews outback at an outdoor show in pa, they had the poundage very low so everyone could shot it, i did not like it at all.. .. BUT when i got back to my local mathews dealer he had the outback set on 70lbs and i decided to shoot it again and fell in love , the bow is the smoothest bow i have ever shot and quiet as heck, for example i was filming hrtshot last saturday and he missed a doe at 10 yards she ran about 20 yards and stoped 2 minutes later he arrows a fine 8 point , i say mathews outback is an awsome bow although i think the price of 620$ is alot for a dang bow
