I can't speak for Reflex's new cam 1/2 bows, but I can speak for them in general. Reflex IS for lack of better words the "bastard" bow of Hoyt. As near as I can tell, the only difference I was ever really aware of is that Reflex's risers are machined instead of molded like the Hoyts. I have a four year old Reflex Xtreme, and I still love it. I had a pass through on a doe at 40 yards which included going through BOTH shoulder blades. IMO, if they're good enough for Chuck Adams (his signature bow)....they're good enough for me.
