I got my Outback and LX both for $599 !!

After owning both.......I'd give the nod to the Outback ! But the LX does have some better qualities ........it has a little smoother draw and is more stable IMO ! Overall.......I think it is a little more accurate !

For a hunting bow though........the OB is plenty accurate and extremely quiet ! It is smaller and a little more versitile and the extra brace height is better on the forearms ! And it's got the new camo.........come on......you know how important that is !!

Not a Hoyt man......so can't help you there !!

I have an LX and my friend has an Outback. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

BTW... my local pro-shop has both for $619 & $629 respectively.

I considered and shot all the mentioned bows and my pick was the Hoyt XTEC. IMO, it's the one to get!!!

I shot a Magna Tech, then traded it in for a LX, then traded it in for an Outback. I think I was happier with my LX. My sight (and some others I have seen) seem to sit very low on the sight bracket leaving barley enough room for a modest sized fixed blade broad head. Something to do with the riser design, I think. The Outback does shoot sweet. 27" @ 70lb with a 390 gr arrow 277 fps. and very smooth. The extra inch of brace height is not a bad thing either. Just my opinion thow.

Sharpshot 71,Not knowing you,or what kind of shooting your going to be doing,I can only tell you whats worked for me.I shoot an LX-30in. draw @ 63lbs,418gr Axis 400-278fps.The LX gives me a shock free,very smooth drawing,quiet bow,with impressive numbers.Speaking of impressive numbers,I paid $639.00,and that was set-up!By the way,Whats everyone talking about an X-Tec?I did'nt see where you mentioned one in your post...Bob
