RE: explaination of reflex geometry?
Reflex geometry just means the handle is behind the pivot point of the limbs. The do that in order to make the brace height lower and get more speed out of a bow. The problem with it is, the limb pivots are lined up on one side of handle and the cams are lined up on the other. That makes the bow easy to torque, especially when the bow has a high letoff, so your form has to be pretty good.
The opposite is deflex geometry where the handle is in front of the limb pivots. That makes for a bow with a high brace height that shoots slower than a reflex riser bow. The limb pivots and cams are both behind the handle, so when you draw the bow you're pulling everything in a straight line. That makes the bow much harder to torque and much less critical of shooting form problems.
