The BowTech Liberty was designed to be a smooth drawing and pleasureable shooting bow with not a lot of emphisis on speed. Had the MightyMight VFT, Patriot VFT single, Patriot VFT Dually or the Extreme VFT been compaired to the Mathews Outback,,,,,,, the results wouldn't have,,, well,,,,,,, not been very compairable
Botton line is that,, much the same as this year, Mathews really only introduced one new hunting bow in '04 as the Outback. The Switchback this year is really the only new hunting bow for '05. In Mathews own words "the Switchback is the best hunting bow we've ever made".
BowTech has the most to offer in different models for hunters and target archers in '05,,, with the most revolutionary cam system offered in '05.
Next year might be different but IMO BowTech is the company to watch this year
