I was in a local shop (notice I didn't say pro shop) and the guy took me in the work room and showed me a bow he had really just destroyed.He was pressing a Reflex grizzly (wrong press) and his rope broke and bent the riser.This bow belonged to someone else and he had to buy him another bow because he bent the riser and Hoyt/reflex would not replace(and they shouldn't).


He asked me if I could fix it.Well,I have fixed it the best it can be fixed.But being it is a magnesium riser,it still has a tendancy to go back when cranked up to 70#'s but down in the 55# to 60# range it is an absolute awesome shooting and tuning bow.


Here is what I did to fix it.




After this,I had to shim the bottom cam to get the spacing right and clear the cam from rubbing.Then I had to serve the floating yoke so I could twist the top cam lean out.After all was said and done,I was able to shoot bullet holes with it at 3',6' and 10' with a properly spined arrow with centershot properly set.

I also had to put 12 twist in the string and a few in the cables to get the poundage and timing back to spec,it does bottom out at 70# as it should now.



I would love to have this bow set up for turkeys but I am afraid he will try to make some money off it now because it is shooting well .He told me he would make me a deal on it but my deal and his deal might be different.We will see.

I just don't want him to take it back and then put it on the shelf and try to sell it.I don't know if that is his intentions or not.
