Opinions wanted on Reflex and other low buck bows
 

I don't read a whole lot about Reflex bows on this forum. It seems like a Buckskin with 7-1/2 brace height and cam and 1/2 would be a great bow. At $350, it seems like a good deal. I'm in the market for a new bow and I'm considering the Buckskin. I'm going to sell my Mathews Z-Max because of the short brace height (6-1/4"). It's pretty fast, but the short brace height makes it more demanding to shoot well than a bow with more brace height. Is this a correct assumption?

I'm out of the Mathews, Hoyt and Bowtech league. So I've got to get a bow that is accurate and forgiving in the $300 to $400 range.

I'm sure there's a few people out there with some opinions to share! ;)

Take a look ate the pearson bows.

Take a look at the Hoyt Ultramag for a mid priced bow with tons of options. It falls right into your spoken price range.

Cam 1/2, xt 2000 limbs, TEC riser, nice thin grip. If you are looking for a brand new bow it is a steal for the price.

Specs:
7 1/8 brace height
36 inch axle to axle
IBO 305
3 pounds 12 ounces

Martin Prowler is a very good buy too and right at the $350 mark.

I shot a Reflex Extreme bow for a few years and couldn't ask for a better shooter. They are great bows for the money. Heck I guess if old Chuck hunts with them, the they must be pretty decent.

Why not look at a Mathews FX .........$349 here 7 1/2" bh 308 IBO ......and a Mathews dealer would probably trade in the Z-max with no trouble !! Just a thought !

Although I don't think there is anything wrong with the Reflex, Hoyt , Buckmasters, Bear/Jennings, Bowtech's low end one, etc. !! Plenty of good choices in that price range !

Machined riser, 34" axle to axle, 7 1/2" brace, 306 IBO, Cam 1/2....

It's a Hoyt without that ugly Tec riser! What's not to like about it?;)

I wouldn't turn up my nose at Martin's offerings either.

Ugly TEC riser? HMMM, to me a lot of people how trouble with the concept of a fine art masterpeice.:D

Its better to be different than copy off one another like everybody else.

ArthurP, someday buddy, you'll see the light.;)

Hey, I can talk about Tec risers. I own a ProTec.[&:]

If you're thinking the Tec riser is a fresh new idea, I'm guessing you never saw the Martin Onza from the late 80's. Remember here while back when Martin tried to re-introduce the Onza and everyone accused them of copying the Tec riser? It's really the other way around. Martin was first.:eek:

I don't know but if you ask me those Hoyt Risers look like the Victim of a Tragic Farming Accident:D
