Outdated or not it is still a good reliable riser at a pretty decent price. More modern risers may give marginally better perfromance, but the archer is the limiting factor and you have to be realistic about whether those differences are going to add points to your scores. Try before you buy and choose what feels good, and what you can afford, but I would personally still rather put the extra money into limbs than into the riser, unless I was rich enough to splash out loads of dough on both.
As to getting 90m (or 100yd) I have been able to get 100yds with 34# carbon limbs and a 29"draw, but only by moving the sight in close to the bow, but not having to go inside the riser. Even with 38# carbon foams I don't think that I am going to be able to get 100yds with the sight at full extension. Arrows are ACC 3-04.
