Thats true Roskoe I think the Hoyt limbs may be a little tougher but i could be wrong. I have never seen a Reflex limb crack though i am sure they have. Between my brother, his friend, two of my friends and myself we own a Buckskin(mine), a Superslam, a Highlander, a Timberwolf and anExcursion. Maybe a Ridgline 34 or a Charger soon. I can't seem to find the 34 anywhere i see alot of 32's but not the 34's.

I bought my Trykon XL(used) after fruitless searches for a used Reflex Ridgeline34 for a decent price. I think the problem with finding them is that guys who are economically minded buy them, then don't sell them, as often as guys who are buying a new bow every year. And it seems that guys who ARE buying a new bow every year seem to be buying the "top-shelf" brands.

RE: Difference between Hoyt and Reflex

reflex is a knock-off of hoyt, just like mission/matthews, and diamond/bowtech

OHbowhntr, that could be one of the reasons we can't seem to find one. I shot one but didn't have the money at the time, then when i got the money together i couldn't find one. So i still have my Buckskin which still gets the job done.

RE: Difference between Hoyt and Reflex

bbran, i did shoot the Charger at Cabela's a few weeks ago and can say that it is the nicest shooting reflex i have shot!! I really ike the rear mouted STS helps the noise quite a bit! Still has a nice draw with very little valley and a good back wall. They did jump the IBO up on this bow which was a good move to keep up with the market. My first shot went exactly where i was looking with out a sight and the next two fallowed suit. All in all a good bow for a decent price. I do feel that Reflex has been trying to break their economy bow image with in the last two years.
