New bow or stick with the RX7 Ultra

[bwp]

I’m eying a new bow for this fall. My current setup is the RX7 Ultra I’ve been running for a few years now. Has much changed with the new bows? If you made the switch, what did you go to and did you notice a difference? I like a longer ata length like the ultra.

RX7U was one of the nicest shooting bows Hoyt has ever made. But kind of slow which is a big part of why it was so smooth.

This year I went with the Arc 34 (much prefer longer ata as well) and am very pleased.

But what you’ll get is a little more aggressive draw and more speed. Plus the new tuning features that most flagship bows have incorporated.

I like new bows every year, but if I didn’t, I’d be more than happy with the RX7U.

There’s never a bad reason to upgrade. Also no bad reason to rock what you have and enjoy. It’s all in what your priorities are.

Always up to you, but agree with what Eastonsgrandpa said above. RX7U is a shooter and incredibly smooth draw, but slow(ish). Truthfully though the RX7U IBO was 334 so is 8 FPS meaningful to you? Maybe mentally, but practically most likely not.

I don’t think you’ll find a draw as smooth as the RX7U. I had one and still think it’s maybe the best drawing bow I’ve ever shot.

You’re basically missing tuning features and some integration features. If you really want those then maybe take a look at a new bow. If you just want a new bow then get one. I like the tuning features a lot, but also shot bows before tuning features and they still shot just about as well as my new bows do… turns out it’s the Indian, not so much the bow…
