Version: 2006 Mathews Outback
Pros: Can't say enough about this little honey, quite, light,fast and with plenty of knock down power.
Cons: Have nothing bad to say about this little honey!
I got her back in 2007 and have had her ever since. I've taken a deer every year I've had her. I've shot others and I just can't find one that I like better then my outback.listen, you will hear a lot of talk about "this bow is better or that bow is better", the outback is one of the best bows ever made, hands down.
Version: 2006 Mathews Outback
Pros: Light (4.3 lbs), short AtA (31.5"), nice speed (310fps)and very forgiving (7.5 bh) and quiet. Takes a beating and still gives great performance. I would have no problem voting this model as one of Mathew's best ever bows as of 2021.
Cons: Honestly, I can't think of anything I don't like about this bow.
I have taken a deer, every year, since 2006 with this bow. I have tried to give myself a reason to buy a newer Mathew's bow but just can't justify it. There are a lot of bows out there, but you know the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" well, it definately applies to this bow. With a rated IBO of over 300 fps, and it's size, weight, and other specs, it still stacks up well against even more modern produced bows. It is definately a hunting machine!
Version: 2006 Mathews Outback
Pros: Quiet light easy to use good draw plenty of stopping power
Cons: I can get heavy after a while not a fan of the thick grip
Used it to nail deer pigs and goats with plenty of stopping power it’s whisper quiet and very easy to use wound up to 70lb you could easily knock over a buffalo will be taking it to my next north QLD trip as a backup
Version: 2006 Mathews Outback
Pros: Light, smooth draw, nice big cams look great, Mathews floor less camo print, solid limb stop back wall.
Cons: Only con is the thick walnut grip
Great cheap bow I love shooting my Outback either 3 D or hunting!! Very smooth draw cycle, looks great nice big cams. Very happy with it for $200 plus postage!!! Don't like the walnut grip but that's. Mathews thing more then anything but just grab a focus grip and your away. IBO is 308-310FPS seams faster then that.
