RE: Question for Outback owners
Todd, I am having a simular problem with my Outback (27" @ 60lb). I am using a Trophy Ridge 5 pin Matrix site. In order to site the bow in with my first pin I had to set the pin as low in the site as it will go and the site is as low on the frame as I can get it and still have just enough clearance between the site and rest (MZE) to alow the use of moderately sized fixed blade broadheads. I used the same setup on my LX with no problems. If any of you tunning/setup gurus out their have some helpful hints please post some.

RE: Question for Outback owners
Actually it's just the opposite. Lowering your peep will necessitate moving the pins further down and they are already as low as they can go from the descriptions provided.
You probably did not have this problem with the LX due to the much greater string angle. With the tight angle of the OB I suspect you are leaning your head forward (especially if you anchor the string to the tip of your nose) to meet the peep and/or string.
Keep your head up straight or with a *slight* lean forward and fore-go a nose to the tip of the string anchor.
This is a problem with all super-short bows and one of the biggest reasons I don't shoot them anymore.
