I’ve been shooting a Hoyt rx3 since its conception and have enjoyed killing animals with it. I’ve shot every bow from Hoyt and Mathews since and up until this year I haven’t been impressed. I may end up buying a new bow but wanted some real world info that I can’t seem to find online.
I’ve shot both the rx9 and the lift x. I’ve shot them set up at 70 and 75 pounds. The lift smokes the Hoyt in a speed test when shooting my 467 grain arrow. I even shot the lift x at 80 and was going 305 with a 29” draw and a short d loop. The 28.5 DL seemed a touch short. Which is weird bc my rx3 is 28”
I’m a big fan of the Hoyt draw cycle compared to the Mathews but I’m digging the longer riser on the lift x. I’m also a fan of the cam system on the lift c as well.
I can’t seem to find a Hoyt ultra with more than 70 pound limbs or a rx9 with 80 pound limbs.
Are any of you shooting a rx9 or ultra (or the aluminum version) with 75 pound or 80 pound limbs? If so, what kind of speed are you getting? I’m a 28.5 -28.75 inch draw in the new Hoyt’s.
Just trying to get a reasonable and fair comparison if I’m going to upgrade what I got. It’s not worth it to me to buy a new bow that is the same speed as my rx3 even if the new ones are more shooter friendly. And the only reason I’m wanting more speed is to push a heavier arrow at 285ish feet per second. Not that I even really need it since I blow through everything as is.
