I haven't shot one, but the specs on Paper read- shooter. I bet most would be happy as pie to own & shoot that bow.

But what good will a new bow do if you can't get to your hunting spot?

If the repairs are only cosmetic, leave well enough alone and call it character. You'll never get your money back IMHO.
A new bow - now there's something you can really enjoy.

LOL!!!! I don't just like my Reflex Highlander.... I LOVE IT!!!!!! [8D] It is the best bow for the money. It looks, feels, and shoots, identical to that of aHoyt (i.e. Hoyt Ultra Sport).

Get out the house paint, do some camo on the old pickup and buy a new bow.

about the truck....its ALL body damage.....i rolled it on its side.(long story lol) but i hit a pile of cement with my driver side front end....and rolled onto the passanger side...new front bumper...2 front fenders...and maybe a passanger door...plus i might as well get all the typical rust spots taken care of too while its there....i realize ill never get my money out of it......it it last me 3 more years im fine....its paid for...runs great....sucks gas and hauls @$$....and goes anywhere i need it too....i just dont want the body to get TOO bad and rust out..theres holes in the fender wells...time will only kill it inside out im betting....i was QUICK quoted atleast 1000...and the guy said he would hate to do it because it wouldnt be worth it...its a 94...but only has 91k miles on it....i dont know what ill do...ill probably wait till next summer and get it done....save money all fall and and part of the summer....so when i blow 2grand on it ill still have a few pennies in the bank to buy a drop of gas! lol......i think ill end up with the bow...but want to talk to dad about it.....right now the rust barely started...right after it happend i took sandpaper to it...alcohol...primer..spray paint and clear coat....actually looked alright for a few months...minus the BIG dent where the fender buckled....but i dont know...we shall see.....but i want a bow! and got LOTS of hunting time in the FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like 4 days a week if i want kinda time!!

No sweat... Yeah, we PM'd a few times and I'm sure when you look at theReflex Highlander, you'll buy one. It really is that sweet of a bow! $349 is all it takes....

I'd keep the truck and use it for a beater to get you to the deer in the woods and by a nice used economical daily driver type of car/small truck.

Highlander, It was a cool movie. The sequel sucked. Great sound track.


Wait, were talking bows here, No havent shot one, but its pretty much a Hoyt, so I dont see where you can go wrong. I have a friend who has one, he loves it.

I bought one and it is my first bow. I shot some others and I liked it the best and felt good to me. I feel sorry for the elk or deer that presents itself to me this year!!
