Default RE: Reflex vs. Deflex -- What is a good compromise?

While I agree somewhat with what is said about deflex and reflex riser designs, and that a deflex riser generally promotes less torque, the higher brace heights on many of the newer bows has improved the shootability. Even with a deflex riser the bow arm is still pushing the riser away from the shooter. That part sort of confuses me Arthur of what you said.

As for accuracy, we all know that most modern or new rests are somewhat of an overdraw rest. I never did get into overdraws because it didn't take me long to figure out it hurt accuracy.......at least mine. Personally, I would rather shoot a reflexed riser bow with the rest centered near the berger button hole than a deflexed riser with an overdraw, which some archers did to help achieve more speed due to shorter, lighter, stiffer arrows. Sorry I got off the subject.
