Reflex Grizzly?
 
I am looking at picking up a bow shortly. Does anybody shoot a Reflex Grizzly? I realize its a lower/entry level bow but is this a reliable bow and decent shooter? Thanks.

Terry I had the Reflex Big Horn Hunter, loved the bow. Bought the Parker Pheonix for this year and It is a fantastic shooting bow. Reflex makes great bows, reasonably priced too, how can you argue with Chuck Adams?

i bought one this fall and let me tell you its way better then the cheaper pse. Its very fast and hard hitter. I shot three deers with it this fall. All were pass throughs. It came dead on from the day i bought it very little tuning. Buy it, u wont be disapointed.

I myself just purchased one and waiting for it to arrive. I do not know why ppl call it an entry level bow its cheap in price but not cheaply made it has a respectable 305ibo a forgiving 37ata and a nice 7 3/4 brace height IMO I can shoot and kill any animal that a bowtech or mathews can kill for less than half the price.

If I am right its just like the Hoyt Magnatec I have this bow and love it easy to tune great to shot.

Well,this is my first post here. I stopped bow hunting about 1995 and decided to get back in for the coming Fall 2005 season. I am studying which bow to get and have narrowed it to a Reflex Grizzly or Buckskin. I don't consider either an entry level bow and am not hung up on brand loyalty. I tried to order on Tues. but the supplier was out so I told him to just wait and get an 05 model when they come in. Now I gotta decide which to get. I have a 27" draw and use a release. Shooting 65lbs. will be no problem for me even though I'm 55 now. Both bows look very capable to me. Everything I have read has always been positive about the Grizzly.

I was looking at the Reflex Grizzly today with Terry and they look to be a pretty decent bow .The price is definetly right which included a rest,sight'sand a quiver ,Im not too sure about a Stabilizer but BassPro had Vibracheck Isolator's for about 45.00 which is half of what I paid for my Isolator.The Reflex came with a 55# to 70#draw wieght for under $400.00 .I think this was a great deal.

My friend shoots a Reflew Buckskin and its real fast and quiet. The only thing I don't like about it is the very small valley, I guess from the cam.5. I just so used to the bowtech I cam.:D

I bought a Reflex Excursion and its a great shooting bow. Its not quite as smooth on the draw as an LX Mathews, but for $300 +/- difference I can live with that !

looking pretty good Terry ,let me know what you decide to do.

Then we'll take a day and I'll take you to the Den and we'll spend the day shooting some 3D .

I like the Reflex line, any relation to Hoyt is a plus in my book :D

terry and nubo, please let me know what you both think of terry's new bow. my new neighbor is looking to get new bows for both he and his son and i thought the grizzly would be a great choice. if he was only buying 1 i think he'd go all out, but his boy is just about my size - in middle school - and still shooting a youth and he said if he gets one for himself he'll need to get justin 1 also - that's a good dad.

Gibblet!

The Grizzly looked to be a pretty decent bow, Terry never got to shoot when I was there. From what I understand now ,is that it feel's good to him .but the best thing about it was that it came with a rest,sight and quiver and all for under 400.00 CDN the draw was 27" to 30"and the draw wieght was 55Lbs to 70Lbs which cover's a pretty wide range and would fit just about anyone. I think it's a great bow, and hopefully soon Terry will come up and he can put it through it's pace's. We'll definetly get back to you on this Gibblet. I'm sure he'll be posting soon to his finding's as well.

gibblet,
I actually ended up talking to a pretty knwledgeable sales guy when I bought the bow. He measured my draw length properly and set my bow up. I shot a few shots in the indoor range and after being out of archery for around 15 years was stunned at how nice shooting this bow is. The thing seems fast to me but as I say I am really no expert. The sales guy was surprised at how well it shot because he admitted he was no fan of reflex bows. I love how it feels and balances and after reading as much as I can on it on the various internet sites I think there is a lot of value in the Grizzly. After minimal sighting in I was making killing shots on a black bear target in the indoor range. If you check the string I started asking about the reflex, it was recommended highly.

thanks guys, looking forward to hearing more. it really seems like a great value. please keep me up to date on it, both of you, so i can relay the info to my neighbor who doesn't have the net.
