Slowhand

I think you will be happy with the Reflex, very accurate bow. Tons of guys shooting barebow class at the Nationals shoot that bow or very similar

My only concerns are parts availability (Cams, strings, cables)
and the fact that it appears to have a very mild cam in the photo. like Just a wheel?
I suspect this will have very little let off when at full draw and might make for a slow moving arrow. I really want to know If Hoyt supports their bows at this age?
I am going to get it, so I guess We will see.

Well if strings are going to be a challenge I better get started early. Planning to go shoot it as is tomorrow but after that I want to replace the strings and have it tuned.
Who do You guys recommend. I'm in Maple valley if that help.

I think Bright Strings is down that way,perhaps auburn? I know RIVERSIDE Mount Vernon makes custom strings in house.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Few updates,
I love then new Hoyt reflex caribou. Very forgiving bow.
I have taken it to the bow range 4 times now and We are getting to know each other quite well. First thing I noted was the noise. Big long string with no silencers. Thwap...
I added a couple old yarnies I had sitting in My bow box. Bit better But going to need to add a few of the rubber cat whiskers.
I have changed the rest. It came with a Trophy ridge drop away rest. In My opinion the drop away rest sucks for shooting fingers. I picked up a whisker biscuit from Cabelas. Now this is My first experience with a whisker biscuit, they are sweet indeed. I bought the size large for aluminum arrows. I'm not ready to go carbon and plan to shoot aluminum until they don't make them. 2315 Easton what ever they make will work for Me. The picture at Flint tip of the guy with the carbon arrow in his hand is horrible. "this is what happens when You shoot a damaged carbon arrow" it says, No thanks.
Changed out the sight it came with for an old Hoyt high dollar sight I had sitting around. So much better.  Found that My 10 yard pin works for 20 yards perfectly. It's only a 4 pin sight but I don't plan any shots past 50 yards.  :hello:
