How can the OUTBACK be only 2 fps.slower than the LX.The bow gives up an inch of power stroke.That should be around a 7 to 10 fps.differance.[>:]

If I remember correctly, the Outback is rated 308 IBO and the LX is 315.

The speeds posted are IBO @ 5 grains /lb. AMO speeds @ 80% letoff for the LX is 238, Outback 236. thus the 2fps difference.

Droptines

Thanks Bowshopper,,thats what I was talking about.As far as the IBO speed differance,,well that seems about right.Now,how do you get that kind of an IBO diff.with such a small AMO gap ??.

Bowshopper

Droptines, I would guess that the cam looses its efficiency with heavier arrows. I bought the Outback over the LX for the larger Brace height. It is one sweet shooting bow. When I get it I will run some arrows through the radar gun and compare it to my Bowtech Mighty Mite.

for sure,nice bow but short.

Anyone have any upper limb breakage? My buddy has one that broke.
Bow was justa week old.[:@]

Well I'll throw this in there too !!!

My LX hit 299-300 fps set at 69 # and rigged for hunting with a 350 grain arrow !

My Outback set up with all the accessories off of my LX and the same arrows hit 297-298 fps on 69 # !! And it is quieter and much more "dead" on the shot !

Both bows were in spec. and cam timing was perfect ! It was an easy decision !!

CBN SC,
Whats your draw? What arrows are you shooting, How long are they? I shoot 70# GT 5575 3d pro's at 29" and 29.5 draw and they weight 397 grains w/ 100gr tip. Thats the lightest I can go without being to underspined. Anyone have a way I can get a lighter arrow and not affect the spine or FOC too bad? By the way, I shot a Legacy and can only get 280fps out of it. I was thinking of getting the LX but if I can get practaly the same speed out of an Outback w/ a longer Brace height, then thats the way I'll go. any advice guys?

I shoot a 30" draw with a WB rest , string loop, and a Tru-peep super hunter !

I got those speeds shooting a 28" PSE CF Dominator 300 with feathers and 100 grain tips.....weight ranged from 349 grains to 353 grains !

However........I switched recently to Axis 340's , with vanes, and 125 grain tips........the total arow weight is 450 grains and the bow is a good bit quieter ..........and I have seen very little difference in trajectory ! I did up my poundage to 75 lbs and getting 282 fps out of the Axis !

Put a new B2 biscuit on.......but haven't chrono'd it yet ! Also ordered WC strings and cables.......so I'll try to chrono it after I put those on !!
