Yes. That is correct. Well, some of the models anyway. Some of the models are Reflex originals, but still manufactured by Hoyt. Kinda like Chevy and GMC.

Creole nailed it—on both accounts.

All things equal besides the riser and the laminated limbs.

But, the second part of his post is probably one of the smartest things I've read on a message board in a long time.

It's the shooter that makes the bow—not the other way around.

I was considering a Reflex myself—but have decided on a Pearson Pride. It's likely more bow that I'd ever need—same is likely true of any bow on the market today.

Time and practice!!

Since you only have 3 post here that's not saying much.

Couldn't resist.:D
Have to disagree here. The shooter the bow and the arrow all play an important and equal part. A good shooter can't shoot a bow that doesn't shoot were it's aimed.

nodog, if jamac220 was like me and visited the site to read post to get tips etc for along time before sighning up then what he said does say alot, or for all you no he has changed his screen name and maybe he had more post than you. There is no need to insult people. As for what was said about its the shooter that makes the bow not the other way around, I would have to disagree with you IMO its more true than it is false I think that the best shooters out there could take a lower end bow and as long as he had it tuned he could shoot just as good as someone with his same skill shooting a top end bow.

Hands down Diamond makes the best bows.

It was just a joke. Kind of a way of getting to know each other. Meant no offense. The smiley face wasn't a sneer. Sorry man.

A lower end bow will not stay tuned long, does not consider comfort as the higher ones do and is not engineered the same, but If the bow is tuned then it's part of the equation is complete and if the shooter is good then that part is taken care of as well. Nothing left but the arrow. A lower end bow will fatigue anybody more quickly. Just holding one for a length of time is tiring. I know I have some and one high end bow. Put a good set up in the hands of someone who thinks he shoots poorly and they will most likely shoot better and become a good shooter. Most don't have equipment that is set right and blame their poor shooting on themselves. I'm a lower end kind of guy and proud of it, but it does get tiring.

I appoligize nodog, I took your comment to jamac220 as an insult, I was wrong no hard feelings OK;):D

Sure.:D

I love my used Hoyt xtec. I'm sure a reflex would be just as good. I just can't spend money on a bow with those corny game tracks cast in. It' like I'm paying for something I don't need. It had to cost a little to make those molds without sacrificing strength. Maybe not. I am sure they are an excellent bow either way, just not for me.

RE: Hoyt VS. Reflex
 

The reflex line used to be older discontinued Hoyts but they are moving away from that into their own line,or atleast current Hoyt risers.



They still use the older style limb pockets that do not have the side lock screws.


The limbs are the cheaper glass limbs that Hoyt has on their lower end bows.zr200,or atleast a knockoff of that limb.Except for the Caribou and it has the xt4000 limbs from Hoyt and they are expensive laminated limbs(this bow is designed for finger shooters).


The biggest difference is the Slam 1/2 cam system,it only offers draw length adjustment in 1" adjustments,where the cam 1/2 on Hoyts give you 1/2" increment adjustments.This isn't a big deal if you fall in the even draw length category but if you are in the half inch category it is a big deal.
