Yes Hoyt do own Reflex. They aren't a bad bow at all, My first bow was a Reflex Bighorn and I never had a bad word to say about it :D
If you take a closer look at Reflex ,I'm sure you will see that most of their bows are just older Hoyt models with Reflex on them :lol:

Not really older models, most are new designed handles made to a price point.
Basically with a Reflex you get the lower end Hoyt features. Solid limbs, not as complex limb pockets etc etc. However they still have Cam 1/2.
I've shot the Timberwolf and it's a nice shooting bow (wouldn't mind one in target colours for 3D ;) )
Good value bows with great features.

If you look at the Excursion bow you will see it is a Magnatec. The bow you refer to is new ,yes. It looks really cool too! :D My Bighorn was an ex Raider same riser :wink:

Not all you stuffed up Coach :wink: :lol: The Grizzly is an adapted Magnatec/Ultramag and the Excursion is based on the Ultrasport riser. There is a slight difference in the limbs I believe giving them a slightly longer ata than the Hoyts. Apparently they are a great value. Most 05/06 models now feature the tec riser. The higher end bows are machined not cast and dont seem to have the annoying Hoyt 'pointy bits' :D
