Default RE: The Bride of JeffB's Long Boring Bow Report (w/pics!)

Like I siad, I've read and searched the web on different bows, but I have never seen a comment anywhere about my bow. What I would like to know is how does it measure up to the Bowtech Liberty? Or maybe Bowtech would like to send me one with a 27 1/2 inch draw (yup I have short arms lol) and I can try it for myself.
To address your last comment first....Bowtech does have a "Bowtech in the Boonies" program where you can order a bow through select dealers without having to actually go to the shop to buy it. However, I don't know of any company that will send anyone a bow just to "try it out". Would be nice though would it not?

The Buckskin is a great little bow. Reflex is basically a sub company of Hoyt. They use Hoyt's limb, cam, riser designs, etc... The Buckskin is somewhat unique in that its riser design has those attractive hoof prints cut out of it. To put in a frame of reference the Buckskin is very similar to Hoyt's previous model...the Havoc...or even Reflex's previous model..the Denali. All of those models would probably roughly compare with the Liberty in terms of brace height and axle to axle length. The draw cycle on the Freedom cam though is a bit smoother than the Cam and a half system found on the reflex models but with comparative speed levels. The riser limb design is also different on the Liberty in that it has a longer riser and shorter, more parallel limbs. The benefit of this is that recoil levels are greatly reduced.

Hope this helps some.
