Hoyt REDWRX Carbon RX-4 Ultra Compound Bow

The RX-4 Ultra is the third installment of the REDWRK branding from Hoyt, and it is arguably the best carbon model Hoyt has ever produced. The changes to the cam system, although somewhat minor, have really made a better shooting experience with a smoother draw, firmer back wall, and quieter shot. The bow balances super well, the cams have a 5-inch draw length range, and a 50-pound draw weight range makes sure just about anyone interested in a Hoyt carbon hunting can get outfitted with one. Despite no major changes, everything about the RX-4 Ultra is well thought out and is built to withstand the most extreme hunting conditions shooters put it through. The largest negative about the carbon lineup from Hoyt continues to be the price tag, which got larger again this year. A bare bow price of $1749 is expensive. Of course carbon costs more than aluminum, and of course shooters have an insane amount of confidence shooting the best of what a giant like Hoyt has to offer, which comes at a price. However, even shooters with an unlimited budget to purchase a new bow will have to take a long hard look to justify an additional $500 when compared to the 2020 aluminum Hoyt hunting bow, and potentially $750 when compared to other brands aluminum flagship models. The 2020 RX-4 Ultra is an amazing bow, but the price tag is getting ridiculous, and that alone will cause many shooters to look elsewhere... read full review
