RE: brace height, riser or ATA

Very few get the opportunity to test a deflex riser against a reflex riser. If you do get the opportunity, try the test this way. Shoot a lot of arrows with both designsas fast as you can and compare the results. The deflex riser bowshould stabilize faster and allow the shot to be executed with more accuracy/confidence.

While it may be true that a good archer with a lot of time to shoot will find both bows compatible, hunting situations do not usually give you minutes to shoot. A hunting situation usually allows only seconds to shoot anddemands awkward positioning and narrow windows of opportunity.

IMPO thehappy median betweendeflex/reflex for hunting situations lies in the<1.5" reflex riser. See, you thought full deflex was my agenda. I'm really against seeing the 'average' archer being sold speed bows with higher BH that actually wind up being 2 1/2"+ reflex geometry. This is not as new as some might believe. I've seen it for at least 10 years.[:@]
