RE: reflex?
What everyone is saying is true, they are owned by hoyt and share a lot of technology. They share a lot of the same riser designs, similar cam and 1/2 tecnology. Their risers I believe are cast though as compared to machined for the Hoyts. They are great bows in my opinion if one can't afford to get into one of the new Diamonds and needs to buy a bow on the next tier down price wise. I think the Reflex is probably the best deal in that price area.
I am right now setting up a budget bow for my father to replace his ancient Bear, and he is going with a Reflex Excursion. We should have it next week. You can buy the thing for $249 at Cabelas now and I think that is a smoking deal for a bow that has the options and the specs this one has. It also should be a very forgiving shooter too with a 8 3/8" brace height and pretty quick for a bow of that brace height. I am hoping to have him in the 260 - 270fps area at 30" of draw, 70lbs, and a 29" GT 75/95 XT. With a Whisker Biscuit, and a Cobra Mini Venom sight, he will have less than 350 in it together before arrows.
I will put up a review when I am done setting it up for him and after we get it tuned.

RE: reflex?
My son just bought a Reflex Buckskin and loves it. He has never shot a bow, but because my other son and I enjoy bowhunting so much, he wanted to give a bow a try. I couldn't see him spending the money I spent on my VTEC, so I suggested a Reflex because they are basically a Hoyt. After less than two weeks, he is shooting different spots on the target at twenty yards because he doesn't want to break his arrows. Seems to be a good bow for him!!
