HuntingNet.com Forums - Mathews Outback...BRAND NEW!!! 29@70

I can buy an Outback for $ 575.00 all day long from my local dealer, still in the box, with video, hat,keychain and warranty. I have an SQ2, I'm gonna buy an Outback, but thats pretty much new price, you're asking. No offense, but I really don't see that being a a bargin. Since it is used, if you opened it and warrantied it in your name its a used bow.
There's quite a difference in axle to axle from Switchback to Outback about 3inches. Outback is approx. 31" and I believe Switchback is 33 7/8". Short bows are nice for guy with a draw length under 29in., but much above that and a guy needs more axle to axle. I like the short bow, but my draw is 28 in. Might wanna check with your Pro Shop and make sure you're fitted for the bow.
The only reason I say that is because of the big difference in axle between the two bows. Thats alot of money to spend. You've purchased an Outback and Switchback recently, each is designed to target two totally different shooters, as far as draw length, brace height, forgiveness. I've found that most guys with longer draws cannot shoot short axle bows.There's a big misconception that buying a bow is like buying a car. Just because it looks nice and " I Like that one", doesn't mean it is a good fit for you. I know many guys right now that ran out and purchased the Switchback only to wish they had their Outback or SQ2's back becuase they didn't talk to their Pro Staff or research the bows designs intentions. Just a thought.
