RE: Is this bow any good
Reflex makes good quality bows, and I believe all are draw length adjustable. The question you should ask is, what model is it? They make about 5 or 6 different models. From there, you can research it and find what you want. I'm concerned about the wording in the add also. It says "comes with cable guard". Well duh, most do now days. This makes me wonder if it's still in the box and not assembled for shooting. If that's the case, then why does he (how would he know) say it's fast? and why does it need a new string??? Dry fired maybe??

I nosed around over there and looked at the pics. I don't know what model it is, but it's an older one with command cams. Those cams have a lot of draw length adjustment, but no telling whether they'd adjust enough to fit you. Also, it's got a busted string. No telling how it happened, but it could very likely have been dry fired. If it was dry fired, it's likely to have even more damage. Before I'd buy a bow in that condition, I'd want to have it in my hands and give it a good inspection, top to bottom.
To be honest, this is one I'd recommend passing up.

Kind of strange selling a compound bow without a string[&:]
To my way of thinking, if wasn't worth $20 for a new string before putting it up for auction, it ain't gonna be worth $20 after.
You mileage may vary,

Reflex is not a bad bow. However, it will not be a good buy for you if the draw length cannot be adjusted to fit you. Draw length is the most important aspect of a compound bow.
