BowJoe Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 I was just reading the post on the new Switchbacks and was already thinking of tradingup my Matthew's FX for an OutBack. I haven't heard many bad reviews of the OutBack but I wanted to get you guy's input first. I may also convince my buddy to changeup with me. He has a 15 year old Darton. Also, what's a good price on a used OutBack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lobsterman Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Re: How are last year\'s OutBack\'s? not too sure on a used outback, ive had my outback for a little over a year now, has held out pretty good, except for the handle falling off it yesturday, but just put a little 3m tape, and it should hold tite...

PAbowhunter4life Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Re: How are last year\'s OutBack\'s? $500-550 used like Coyotekid said The only complaint I have ever heard about the Outbacks is they aren't that fast unless you use a pretty light arrow. Can't say if it's true or not since I don't own one, but everyone I know who had one and most of the posts I read pretty much agree with that statement.

Adjam5 Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Re: How are last year\'s OutBack\'s? BOWJOE, I have an March 04 Outback and I love it. Nothing has fell off, it is super light, fast and quiet. I think you might be able to do better than 500 for a used one. I paid $565 brand new stripped for my Outback. As far as arrows, I use a light thin shaft. Beman 380-16 carbon hunters with 100 grain Spitfire expandibles. I also use a single pin sight, good out to 35yards. No confusion that way. I would also reccomend the detachable quiver if you can get it. I'd like to take mine off on stand, but the detachable one wasn't availible when I bought mine.

Chrud Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Re: How are last year\'s OutBack\'s? I'd suggest shooting the Outback and Switchback side-by-side and see which you like better. I had a hard time deciding myself, but went with the SB becasue of the little extra length and speed. A little bit of info. When the Outback first came out in 2004, there were post identical to posts about the Switchback. Tuning problems, string problems. I know one flaw that is a problem with the two bows for a lot of people is form. If the bigger grip gives you problems, I'd check out an aftermarket grip.
