Thanks.... I was shooting it at both 10 yards and out to 20 yards over the weekend and absolutely LOVE IT!

I can't move the elevation allen screw on my old Tru-Glo sights (corroded/rusted) but was able to get the windage to break free, and then just moved the individual pins themselves to get it aligned. I don't want to go beyond 20 yards just yet as I'm still learning the bow and it's own unique handling. It is super fast, extremely quiet, and the most important thing that is amazing - there is NO hand shock or vibration at all!

Hey that's cool, Lunker Hunter!

You will LOVE the Reflex Highlander! It is really a sweet bow and very lightweight, smooth drawing, quiet, and zero hand shock. The way I feel withbuying it, owning it, shooting it, etc...etc... it is basically a Hoyt Ultra Mag but with the Reflex name on the limbs.

What draw length are you? Mine got set to 29" and I had the bow set at 67# draw weight which made for a nice setup.

It will be a 27" draw at 60#,im 5'7" not the tallest on the planet.

Congrats on your new Highlanders guys. I had a Reflex Grizzly for a while and ended selling it for a few reasons. First I was not measured properly by the twit who sold it to me and he sold me one that started at 27" and what I ended up with was a 26" bow when I replaced it. Secondly I was having torquing problems because of the old style grips they had and ended up removing them and shooting off the riser. And third I decided I wanted a shorter ATA, the grizz was 37" I think. All of these issues seem to have been adressed with the new Highlander. My guess If I had started with this new model Iwould still own it. My advice to you is to immediately replace the OEM strings buy a new custom set made buy Gibblett here on Huntingnet and to add a STS string stopper and you won't believe how that improves your bows. Enjoy your bows!!!!!!!!!

Replace the strings/cables? Why??? [&:] Hopefully I'm not opening up a can of worms, but is there something inferior about the OEM strings on Reflex bows?

TerryM

Actually alot of OEM strings are not worth much, not just on Reflex but Hoyt also and Mathews too. I had a hard time keeping a peep in place on my Grizzly and a simple string change would solved the problem completely. Just keep the originals as spares. Even if you spend over $700.00 on a new bow these days sometimes you still need to upgrade the strings and cables.

Hey guys. Good luck on your new Reflex bows. I got mine in the late fall after I had already taken my deer. I had major back surgery this last july and I didn't think I would be able to hunt in the fall. I used to shoot an old Proline Point Blank and it was tough. I did manage to practice enough with the old bow to be able to hunt the rut. I scored a nice 8 pt. with the Proline. My wife had seen me struggling with it and when I suggested I update my gear. I ordered the Reflex but shot the buck 4 days befor I received it.
I have shot it a bunch and I can't tell you how pleased I am, but only into my block target.I may go out to Oklahoma to hunt some hogs with it next month. My old rodeo partner called and invited me down.
Good luck with your bows and good hunting.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS
