Straightarrow,I don't think this post was about "setteling"anything,just information and opinion.Of which,this has been an excellant post.I know I've enjoyed the responses.
Having said that,and with my experiance with shooting/owning alot of "high end" bows,it's going to take a stick of dynamite to blow me of of the bow I'm shooting.The biggest difference with this bow is the fact it has a 1 1/2 in. deflex.Over 90% of the bows I've owned have the appox.(same),ata,bh,lenght,speed.The only constant with all of them has been the shooter-me.
First,I am a hunter,who likes to happen to shoot 3-D.My form can be questionable at times,but in the controlled enviroment of a 3-D course,I'll stay in the 265-285 range,which is an improvement from the 230-250 scores.This,in my opinion and use,is directly a result of shooting a bow with a 1 1/2 deflex riser.Needless to say,this also has carried over into the field.
This post,with the thoughtful information and input,has,in my opinion,educated some of us in an area that is the least thought of(reflex-deflex),so that we all can make an informed decision on which bow is best suited for each archer.Thanks,Bob

By the way,In case you all want to know,I'm shooting a Hoyt V-Tech.....
