reflex deflex vs straight limb

[shade seeker]

Which bow do you think is more accurate to shoot?
Assuming that you allready can shoot 6 inch groups at 20 yrds consistently.

Thanks for feedback.

Accuracy is in the archer, not the bow  

Whichever bow has your hand position farthest forward relative to the tips of the unbraced bow should be the most forgiving of any errors we make.  The more forward you get your hand relative to the limb and limb tips the less touchy the bow is to anything you do with it during/after the shot (torque, twisting, dropping etc).

Most people seem to shoot the r/d bows better than a straight limbed bow of equal net reflex.  Less of the limb is trying to move forward of your hand after the shot.

More than anything though, find a grip that suites you.

R/D may be a little faster.  I agree with Jeremy, fit is more important than design for accuracy, and well matched/tuned equipment, of course.  I've shot a lot of each and really can't say I am more accurate with one or the other.

A person with perfect form can probably shoot any bow out there well, while those of us with less than perfect may find that we shoot a particular style of bow better. Which one it is depends upon the weak area of your form. Due to tendon issues in my release hand, my release is not the best, and that's why I tend to shoot narrow limb, deep cored longbows better than other bows - they tend to be more forgiving of release errors than wide, thin limb bows IMHO, but that's just me. You may find exactly the opposite is true for you!
