                                       REDESIGNED, REMASTERED, REBORN

Hoyt fans take notice!  If you're looking for a hot-performing hunting bow - loaded with cutting-edge Hoyt technology, but you don't want to pay the budget-smashing Hoyt price-tags, you've got to check out the new 2008 Growler.  The Growler is light and streamlined, but its certainly not light on features or execution. Its loaded with the latest designs like the ProLink Pocket System, RiserShox, Parallel Split Limb Technology, FX Cam and 1/2, and Fuse Custom Strings and Cables.  The result of these features is a powerful bow with extreme accuracy, speed and stability.

The Growler is the next generation in a series of phenomenally successful bows that began with the Reflex Grizzly in 2004.  Like the Grizzly and the Highlander, the Growler features a lightweight alloy riser and the powerful Cam & 1/2 Hybrid cam system.  To make things even sweeter, the Growler adds a fantastic new pivoting limb pocket system AND a swept parallel-limb design.  So the Growler is quieter and smoother than it's predecessors.  Our testing team has already made it clear that the Growler is one of the best-shooting bows in the rack this year.  The fact that it's affordable too makes this bow a top 10 bow for 2008.

PACKAGE VALUE  We've loaded up the new Growler with some great parts and accessories.  This bow package literally comes with everything - everything you'll need to take your bowhunting to a whole new level.  This field-ready package includes bow, rest, sight, arrows, stabilizer, broadheads, case, mechanical release and MUCH MORE.  Best of all, this setup comes COMPLETELY TUNED AND READY-TO-SHOOT the moment you unpack it from the case.  Our pro-shop does all the work.  All you do is finish setting your pins to the distances you prefer, and you're ready for the field.   That's the Ready-to-Hunt™ difference.  Scroll down for videos, photos, and all the details.

Bow Package Details & Accessory Choices

ARROW REST (CHOICE #1)  
Hostage by Bowtech

Never worry about an arrow falling from the rest again.  The Hostage rest captures the arrow like other popular rests, but doesn't damage fletching or slow down your arrows.  Triple brush block design ensures perfect arrow alignment and easy loading.  A very quiet and rugged design.  *Best used with straight or offset vanes.
ARROW REST (CHOICE #2)   Most Popular
Quickshot Whisker Biscuit

Your arrow will never fall off the rest again. Just nock it and forget it with the new QuikShot EZ loading system. The great shooting, silent drawing Whisker Biscuit has taken the industry by storm. Once you try it, you'll never go back to standard prong rests.  Now featuring the new B2 biscuit with improved bristles for less fletching wear and friction.
ARROW REST (CHOICE #3)
QAD Ultra Rest Hunter

Unlike other rests that drop-away because of inertia or vibration, the ULTRA REST relies on the velocity of the Rest moving forward to initiate the launcher to drop. VDT assures the ULTRA-REST remains in the cocked position even on a slow let down and will only drop-away if the bow is fired. VDT is a durable and reliable firing mechanism which is sure to change the way you look at drop away rests.
 

BOW SIGHT (CHOICE #1)
TruGlo Xtreme 5-Pin

ULTRA-BRITE!  This high-strength 5-pin fiber-optic sight is constructed from all machined aluminum and features ultra-bright fiber-wrap technology.  Sight includes glow in the dark aiming ring, bubble level, and graduated windage and elevation scales.  A fantastic hunting or competition 3D sight.  Very rugged and easy to see.  Sight accepts optional screw-in lighting devices.
 
BOW SIGHT (CHOICE #2)  Most Popular
Extreme Challenger 850 Camo

CNC machined from rugged 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum.  Features over 2 feet of Brite-Tec fiber optics per sight for ultra bright pins in all conditions.  Three fine .029" stainless steel pins for a tough, yet ultra slim profile pin resulting in minimal target blockage and maximum visibility.  Comes with bright orange aiming ring on sight housing and comes in film-dipped camouflage finish. 


YOUR STABILIZER
Sims S-Coil

When you've got the best idea, it shows.  Sims knows vibration and noise control!!!  The S-Coil stabilizer uses materials found in the LimbSaver® line and absorbs any remaining shock, noise, and vibration.  You won't BELIEVE how smooth your bow will shoot with the S-Coil. 



 
YOUR ARROWS
6 Custom Carbon Arrows

Half-dozen custom carbon arrows (.006" or better straightness).  Durable, lightweight shafts fly 20% faster than comparable aluminum arrows.  Provides excellent penetration and knock-down power.  Fletched with feathers or vanes.  All arrows come with practice tips installed (matched to the grain weight of your broadheads - of course).
 

YOUR CASE
Flambeau Safe Shot Hard Case


Sturdy, molded construction from Flambeau.  Secure 4-latch closure. Hood & loop fastening straps. Incorporated structural pillars for added durability, and features built-in broadhead wrench.  Good looking and rugged with plenty of room for all your other gear.  Airline approved. 
YOUR QUIVER
Treelimb 5-Arrow NEW!

One of the most talked-about products for 2007.  The Treelimb Quiver features a quick-detach mounting system that allows a wide range of vertical and pivot adjustments with multiple locking positions.  Quiver also features a simple but smart innovation, a built-in treelimb hanger.  So when you get in your stand, you can detach and hang the quiver on any small branch.  Who would have thought?  Quiet design accepts mechanical or fixed broadheads and holds 5 arrows nice and tight for those long treks.

YOUR RELEASE
Tru-Fire Patriot Caliper


The reliable Patriot features aluminum construction dual jaw head, and the head rotates 360°. Padded black nylon Power Strap, much easier to put on then any V-style strap.  Fits both left and right hands. Will not damage bowstring.
YOUR PEEP SIGHT
Jim Fletcher Tru-Peep


This all-aluminum peep’s ingenious design gives you a perfectly round shaded hole at full draw. The safety-tie groove design eliminates the need to serve this peep into the bow’s string. Available in 1/16", 1/8", and 3/16" hole sizes.

 

YOUR BROADHEADS
3-PK Cobalt X3's

These remarkable heads by the American Broadhead Company are designed specifically for archers who demand extreme penetration and silence, but prefer a larger cut diameter broadhead.  One of the best penetrating broadheads you'll ever shoot.  And in your well-tuned Ready-to-Hunt bow, these heads will fly true and accurate every time.
YOUR PRACTICE TIPS
6 Combo Points


Perfectly matched to the diameter of your carbon arrows, 6 Combo screw-in practice points are included and already installed on the arrows so you're ready to shoot when you receive your bow pkg.  Tough combo style tip causes less target damage and allows for easy removal from 3D targets. Precision machined and weight accurate to +/- 1 grain.  Removes quickly for broadhead installation. Style may vary.
 

ALSO INCLUDED WITH YOUR REFLEX GROWLER PACKAGE!
HOYT/REFLEX 3-PHASE SHOX SYSTEM

The Shox system is the most powerful and innovative dampening system to ever hit a Hoyt/Reflex bow.  The system begins with a set of ultra-effective String Shox string silencers to stop string oscillation in its tracks.  Two of these soft Dynaflex/Davcom rubber silencers are factory installed to make your new Growler one of the quietest shooting bows you'll ever take in the woods!

But that's not all.  You also get two Alpha Shox specialized limb dampeners, specifically designed to fit Hoyt and Reflex Bows.  Alpha Shox limb dampeners fit snugly between Hoyt's patented 3/4 Inch Split Limbs, demolishing any excess vibration and noise. Incredibly sleek and low profile, the AlphaShox design allows for 10 full linear inches of Navcom material creating an amazingly effective vibration dampening device. Each section of the AlphaShox are unique in size allowing them to cancel different pitches and frequencies created during a shot.  Finally, your new Growler comes with an additional Rizer Shox integrated riser dampener, located just beneath the grip.  The Rizer Shox eliminates any remaining vibration before it has a chance to transfer into your grip....into your hand.  You won't believe what you WON'T hear and feel from your new Growler with 3-Phase Shox technology. 

Bow Package Details:  Services Performed

SETUP
Every 2008 Reflex Growler Bowhunting S
ystem is hand-assembled at our Pro-Shop by a qualified archery professional.  Every detail is attended to.  The peep sight is served in place, the nock or loop set is installed, the draw length and weight is set to your specifications, all hardware is carefully installed and properly adjusted, and your arrows are custom built to suit your particular bow and settings.  The string gets waxed, axles lubricated, and the bow is given a thorough inspection - top to bottom - for any flaws in manufacturing.

PAPER TESTING/TUNING
We actually test-shoot each bow.  Every bow is paper tested by our staff shooters, to ensure that your arrows will fly like a laser beam when launched from your new 2008 Reflex Growler Bowhunting
System.  Adjustments are made as necessary until each arrow tears a clean "bullet-hole", indicating perfectly level and straight arrow flight for the best possible accuracy.  We resolve any and all fletching clearance problems and align each arrow nock for a clean zero-contact launch.

RANGE TESTING
Each bow is tested at distance to ensure that arrows will group tightly.  3-Arrow groups are shot at 15, 25, & 35 yards and measured by our staff shooters.  We use the 25/2 rule.  If our staff shooters aren't grouping 3 arrows into a 2" circle at 25 yards with your new 2008 Reflex Growler Bowhunting
System, then we retune until the 25/2 rule is met.  While variances in individual shooting form makes exact sighting-in impossible, we test shoot each bow and rough-set your top sight pin for a 20 yard shot.  This gets your sight-pins in the "ball-park" so you won't have to start from scratch - possibly sending an arrow into an unforgiving neighbor's yard.  When you receive your new bow system, you will just need to make fine adjustments to the top pin, then finish-up by setting the remaining pins for the distances you prefer.  And if you're new to the sport, or not so handy with tools and gadgetry......don't worry.  You'll also receive a copy of our booklet Getting Started with Your Compound Bow which offers detailed instructions on the sighting-in procedure as well as helpful maintenance and safety tips.

CHRONOGRAPH TESTING
We know that speed isn't everything, but it is a serious consideration.  2008 Reflex Growler Bowhunting
Systems shoot hard and flat, with excellent kinetic energy (knock-down power).  Depending upon the bow's settings, your 2008 Reflex Growler Bowhunting System will likely shoot a measured 254-296 fps once setup with a "loaded" string.  We chronograph each bow to ensure that the actual arrow velocity is within the expected range.  You will receive a System Statistics report with your new 2008 Reflex Growler Bowhunting System.  This report will precisely detail the exact velocity of your arrows, grain weight and length of the arrows, recommended tip weights, the exact bow settings, and dozens of other specs related to your bow system.  Keep this sheet for your reference.  If you ever need additional arrows or want to make changes and adjustments on your bow, you'll have the original data to refer back to.

PACKAGING AND SHIPPING  (excluding AK and HI)
Each fully assembled
2008 Reflex Growler Bowhunting System is delivered - packed tightly in the hardshell bowcase.  The bow and the arrows are firmly strapped into place and the loose parts, like the release, are all safely tucked inside too.  Once full, the bowcase is then returned to it's original box and resealed.  Your bow system is then shipped, via FedEx Ground, to your home or business within 1-5 working days.  A tracking number will be provided to you, so you'll know when to expect delivery.

FAQ's:

Q:  When will my bow package arrive?
A:  We put a considerable amount of care and labor into every Ready-to-Hunt™ bow package, as we want to make sure we get it right the FIRST time.  But we also realize you're anxious to get your order and begin shooting.  So we work hard to make sure our bow systems are built and shipped within 1-5 business days of your order.  Once completed and shipped, most systems will then be delivered via FedEx Ground within 1-5 business days (delivery time will vary by location).  However, if any delays are expected with your order, you will promptly be notified with the details via email.  Please allow 1-2 days extra time during peak season (August -Sept).  Once your bow system ships, you will receive a FedEx tracking number.  If you have any questions along the way, feel free to call us at 1-877-410-7811 or email us.

Q: Should I Choose the Weight of My Practice-Tips and Broadheads?
A:  If you already have your heart set on a particular grain weight, we will gladly follow your request.  Please select 100 or 125 gr heads when you order your system.  However, the choice of tip weight may be an option best left "open".  Tip weight is a variable in determining an arrow's dynamic spine (how much it flexes when shot).  A heavier tip makes an arrow act more limber; a lighter tip makes an arrow act more stiff.  We test shoot each bow system to ensure we're getting the best possible arrow flight, and we often use tip weight as a tool to help "tweak" dynamic arrow spine.  Leaving this option "open" allows our pro-shop to achieve the best possible spine, weight, and FOC combination for your arrows.  If you would rather let the pro-shop choose your tip weights, your bow's documentation will show which grain weight was ultimately selected for you.  NOTE:  Check your local hunting rules, as some states require a minimum grain weight tip for hunting (e.g., Alabama has a 100 grain minimum for hunting broadheads).
