Hoyt rx9 ultra or rx9

[Rusty Green]

Hey, been awhile since I’ve been on here curious about these 2 bows, anyone shot them at 27.5 to 28. I’m not 100 percent what my draw length is at the moment but its somewhere in there, been shooting a recurve for a few years and just curious what’s gonna work better for me pros and cons, I’m gonna try and shoot both before I order one but I’m curious on y’all’s thoughts. Thanks in advance

I’ve shot the ultra quite a bit at 27”. Definitely would be my bow of choice this year. It’s quite a bit faster than my RX4 ultra even at lower draw weight. Thing holds rock solid too.

Any numbers on speed, I’m upgrading from a Hoyt maxxis 31 love the bow but it’s time to upgrade, was getting 263fps with 551 grains at 27.5, not 100 percent sure on poundage but a lot closer to 80. Think it’ll be close to the same?

27/65 with 430gr I was getting 265 out of it. That’s 10fps faster than my Rx4 ultra at 70 with the same arrow weight and draw length.
I tuned one up the other day at 28.5/80. With a 520 gr arrow it was 296fps.

Awesome so I should at least be in the 270s at 80 and 27.5 with my current 550gr arrows.

I would say so. You’ll be at the upper half of the mod so you should get plenty of performance there.

Definitely good to hear now hopefully my shop will get an ultra in so i can shoot them side by side. Definitely want the ultra but definitely don’t want to be shooting in the low 260’s, though not a deal breaker it would just be nice to have a little more speed than my current 15yr old bow. Also thanks for responding and answering some questions for me good luck this season and fill your tags.

Go shoot them both and see which one you like. Different strokes for different folks.
