I had one and really liked it. That's probably not a terrible price for the bow. Others have made valid points. It's been a long time since the outback came out. You can get a lot newer technology for the same money in a newer used bow. With all bows I know of, besides Elite, you won't get a warrant with a used bow. There are several good new bows that will come with a warranty for not much more money. It all depends on what you want and if a warranty will matter to you.
