Deflex

Deflex describes a bow shape in which the limbs initially curve away from the archer (forward) when unstrung. This is the opposite of reflex, where the limbs curve toward the archer.

Effects of Deflex:

• Smoother, more forgiving shooting behavior
• Less aggressive energy buildup
• Often more comfortable draw feeling

Summary:
Deflex bows are generally considered user-friendly and forgiving, while strongly reflexed bows tend to be performance-oriented and faster.
