IT IS A 2 ounce difference!!!! It's only 2 ounces!!! Unless you grabbed a Ridgeline that was still attached to a rack, you can likely tell about as much difference as I could between the group of bows as far as weight goes.

Dave,
Look at this site, it has the weights of nearly all of the 2007 Bows, and you'll see most MEN'S bows weigh 4# or more.

Hmm, the Ridgeline you say? I might be headed out to Cabelas later today. I will have to see if they have one in stock and give it a go.

This is the first post I've ever seen where someone defends a Reflex over big brother Hoyt and rival Bowtech. Like someone said earlier that's why they make so many different bows, cause everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I can't comment on the Reflex because there are no dealers around my area. I think Dick's had a few last year but they seemed like lower end models. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the bows they carried.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the Vectrix, and the Trykon XL also, but in all HONESTY, that Ridgeline34 felt smoother on the draw and the release, with less handshock than the Vectrix, and similar to that of the Trykon XL. One of my co-workers thought the same thing, and we both believe that the STS must be what is causing the Vectrix to seem like it has more handshock. I'd be interested in shooting one without the STS, to see how differently it feels. But as both bows were, I HONESTLY thought the Ridgeline34 was smoother all the way around. Go shoot one and see for yourself. I've know of at least 3 different guys who agree with me, and oneOWNSA VECTRIX. I'd intended on spending $700 on a Vectrix this summer, but I may end up spending $550 on a Ridgeline34 instead after shooting both.
