RE: Getting back in..what bow?
Dont really know too much about the Reflex's but there are tons of really good deals out there. I just bought an 07 Diamond Black Ice new in box for 479 dollars shipped. Check out the classified section over at www.archerytalk.com i would much rather buy a left over new in box bow than a used one but thats up to you, the black ice was going for 699 when it first came out. There were a bunch of close outs on Bowtechs and Diamonds which doesnt mean that they werent selling there are just alot more of em around.

Both of the bows I have, have done great, no problems with either...but I would just find one that fits you, and that you are comfortable with. I have a problem with my left arm sometimes and I switch from left to right alot. So both of mine get quite a bit of use.

im in the same situation looking for a new bow. ive shot mathews dxt, elite gto, bowtech 101st , allegiance, high country, bear, pse, all in the past 5 or 6 days. didnt care about price just took in consideration feel, smoothness and foregiving first and then speed. and ive been a mathews owner for the past 8 years.
and my choice is bowtech allegiance

RE: Getting back in..what bow?
After reading a bunch, I thought I'd finally get involved - I'm in the same exact situation. I am upgrading(big time) from a Parker Magnum hunter. I'm not concerned with the price. I want a bow that is as smooth and quiet and forgiving as possible. I want to hunt Moose and Caribou, maybe black bear and I want to get involved in 3D leagues. I'm a 26 inch draw shooting 60-70 lbs. I've shot Bowtech, Hoyt, Mission, Mathews, Diamond. The Bowtech was very quiet, but as I saw someone else post, the draw cycle seems a little rough, like it cams over hard or something. For me, it's now between Hoyt Katera, or Katera XL, or the Mathews Switchback XT. I think the Katera XL is smoother on the draw, and the Mathews Switchback XT is quieter on the release! So I'm stuck. None of the others compare to these for me (to each his own). My main concern is the Shorter Axle to axle of the switchback. I have not shot the S2, which seems like it might compare better in the forgiving category then the SBXT. I'm probably going to support my local pro shop and pay retail. I've actually already bought the acessories -Trophy ridge Dropzone guide model in camo, an Apex Nitrous 6 pin site, and the Sims Modular stabilizer. That's how close I am, if I could just make up my mind!!!

I just purchased a new Hoyt Katera about 3 weeks ago, and am very pleased with it. My brother and friend also got new bows in the last couple months, and they both went with the Katera XL. The price is a little steep, but a good bow makes shooting fun again, and thats what it is all about.
