RE: comparing Hoyt and Reflex
This is gonna sound stupid, but the main reason I don't like Reflex is those silly game tracks cast into the risers on their higher models. It made me feel like they are putting effort into a gimmick that isn't necessary.
Fortunately I found a 2004 xtec on this very site from a member and got a great deal, so there was no decision about reflex vs hoyt higher price for me. I would feel silly not buying a bow because it has game tracks on it.
BTW these members are very trustworthy and great guys, most of 'em! I'd buy from any of 'em.
