bogobble,
I have a cyclone deflex. It has the same exact riser as the cyclone 3D but with longer recurve limbs. Axle to axle is 41" and the brace height is 8". The bow shoots very nice. Extremely forgiving, yet has decent speed. All in all a really nice hunting bow. You can put on you heaviest hunting clothes and still get off a nice clean shot without the dreaded arm slap. It's quiet on the draw as well as at the shot, has a nice wall and with the C/P/S system you can adjust the draw length in very small increments until the length is perfect for you.

My buddy shoots the cyclone 3D model and that bow is forgiving as well in spite of the somewhat shorter brace height (it's not much) and shorter axle to axle. His bow does shoot faster.

Hope this helps...Jim
