Congratulations on your new Outback. I'm really starting to enjoy mine. I get a few shots in every day. I even shot yesterday despite the High Wind Advisory and still managed to hit some X's. That says alot for the bow. They are really smooth shooters.

Picked my new Outback up last night. I absolutely love the thing! Can't wait to shoot some critters

Shot my Outback for a while again today and it was one of those days you dream about. I consistently put 3 shot groups out to 35 yards in a quarter size spot and that is unbelievable for me. The more I shoot it the more I love it!
Now it looks like I'm going to have to refletch some arrows but it's a good problem to have.

set up an outback at the shop the other day just for kicks. It has a smooth draw, and you could seemingly hold it for days with the 80%, and i do like their new camo, from the side of the riser that is. But down the front of the riser they stretched the camo which i really dont like. I know they started dipping their bows themselves this year so that may explain it, or it may be intentional? but the release seemed a little erratic and I never have been a fan of short ATA bows. Nice bow;yes, Comparable to a Hoyt;never.

Mine looks to be in good shape. Thanks for the link Rudd, I'll keep an eye on it.
Renegade, as for the erraticness (is that a real word), I think it's the guy doing the shooting.

Don't know about the outback but my LX is really starting to PI$$ me off!! The serving on the cable keeps coming unserved. This same thing happened to my friends Legacy. It's time to switch to a Hoyt. I'm really unimpressed with Mathews. If I do buy a new hoyt I'll have to change my screen name. If it's not one thing it's another

LX, there are several different products that you can use prior to serving. Brownell Liquid Lok & Cam EZ work extremely well. This is a liquid (consistency of rubber cement-also used in the past) I think the serving separates due to the aggressive solo cam shapes used in todays bows. This should clear up those issues you are having. Good Luck.

Just to let you know, I've shot Hoyt for years and the same thing will happen to those bows as well. Hoyt has always put crap strings and cables on their bows. I've always had to replace my Hoyt strings because of the same problem you are talking about. Do what you want, but I wouldn't switch bows just because of the string serving.

Seems you may want to replace the strings and cables rather than the whole bow. That would be cheaper and way less reactionary. Strings are the weak point of the bow...like tires are for the auto industry. Don't throw the bow away until you try some simple fixes. Also, if you want an even cheaper fix, you can have a serving put on for less than $20 at most pro shops.
Or, you can change brands and become another Hoyt follower and make Muddy happy.
