    Reflex Excursion. It was a Christmas present and a great bow, I just wanted to purchase one myself. Bought a 2008 Reflex Charger last December and that's what I'm hunting with now.

    My dad bought me a Bear Whitetail II back when I was 14 years old. (25 years ago) I used a finger tab til I got my second bow Pearson Spoiler Plus 6 or 7 years later. Upgraded to a Mathews Q2 in 2000 and now hunt with a Bowtech Tribute I got in 06.

    A 1978 Ben Pearson compound with about 25% let-off. Practiced all summer long shooting at milk jugs in the yard. Walked out behind the house and climbed a tree in mid-October and killed a big doe. I remember the shot like it was yesterday.
