RE: Mathews shooters
I hear ya Q2, I hear ya.....I don't know after shooting a Hoyt for so many years...I had a chance to talk with Q2 on the phone today for Christmans ( we live 2.5 hours apart) and he said the handle on the Switchback isn't that large stupid wooden handle they usually use.....(whisper) might be time to test shoot another MMmmmm (unwhisper) No I can't say it...LOL we'll see.

RE: Mathews shooters
I haved owned both and they are great bows. I like the Outback better. I really didn't notice any difference between speed and smoothness. The LX is longer and the Outback works better in a tree stand but I could deal with that. The really BIG difference, to me, was the brace height. I knew, after 20 years at this, not to buy a bow with a brace height under 7". I had problems when wearing heavy clothes of tapping the sleave and just couldn't deal with that issue so I sold the LX and got the Outback. I would defintely wait and shoot the Switchback before buying. I WILL NOT SHOOT THE SWITCHBACK FOR ANY REASON-NO WAY-NO WAY- NO WAY, WELL MAYBE JUST ONE SHOT!

RE: Mathews shooters
I would wait on the Switchback. I generally like a longer ATA bow since I have a 30" draw. The Outback is a nice bow but the string angle is way too steep in my opinion for anyone with a draw over 29".

RE: Mathews shooters
I have read on several other forums the drawlengths of the Switchbacks are running long and the back wall is not a solid as that of the LXs or Outback. I still plan on trying one out. Same as DoninVa, I would rather have the extra BH on the Outback for hunting.
