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.

RE: OUTBACK #'s
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 !!
