Cams are slightly different, cosmetic differences, but the main difference is the limbs. Hoyt have laminated, carbon limbs. Reflex is a straight glass limb.

THIS is the MAJOR difference, but the Hoyts are a little better detailed, riser shocks, rear STS mounting hole, etc.

I own both - and have shot quite a few of both. What is the real difference between the limbs going to amount to? IBO's are about the same.

Thats true Roskoe I think the Hoyt limbs may be a little tougher but i could be wrong. I have never seen a Reflex limb crack though i am sure they have. Between my brother, his friend, two of my friends and myself we own a Buckskin(mine), a Superslam, a Highlander, a Timberwolf and anExcursion. Maybe a Ridgline 34 or a Charger soon. I can't seem to find the 34 anywhere i see alot of 32's but not the 34's.

Just wondering. I shot a Vectrix and a Growler side by side awhile back and, while there were some very subtle differences in the draw cycle; the difference between these two bows was tough to call.

I did shoot the Growler when it came out and liked it but i didn't shoot it next to the Vectrix. I thought for the money the Growler was a great buy!! What is the ATA on that bow? I think it was shorter than i typically like.

I think it's 32. Very light bow. Also very quiet, with the addition of an STS and some other Navcom goodies.
