Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

While the Hoyt Rampage is not the quietest rig out there, it's a good shooting bow at a very affordable price. Although this bow could have less hand shock and vibration, installing a good silencing package helps to make it quieter and improve shootabillity. This is a very easy drawing bow with a smooth draw cycle and extremely adjustable cam system: no bow press or extra modules are needed to tune the draw length from 25 to 30 inches. Overall, this very affordable bow is a good choice for those hunters who are on budget or prefer shooting easy drawing and smooth rigs. Read full review...

The Alphamax 35 is a well balanced, lightweight, and quiet bow that offers great shootability. While this rig is not the fastest bow out there, it has a smooth draw and low hand shock. With a lot of innovative engineering solutions, the Alphamax 35 is a very solid and forgiving bow with great performance. That is why many experts agree that this bow is a very good choice for average shooters. Read full review...

The Hoyt Maxxis 35 is a lightweight and well balanced bow with low vibration and great shootability characteristics. Available in weight ranges from 40 lbs to 90 lbs this top hunting bow is ideal for big game hunters or anyone looking for a high quality rig. While it's not the cheapest bow out there, this top quality rig is a pleasure to shoot as noted by many shooters. Read full review...

Without a doubt the CRX 35 is a solid choice for anyone from the avid bow hunter to the 3D archer. While having similar characteristics to last year's Maxxis, the CRX 35 has several improvements as well. This rig possesses everything you want out of a quality bow and has things like the long draw option and the dangerous game model that make a viable choice for almost anyone. Overall for the archer that prefers a longer axle to axle or needs a longer draw length you seemingly can't go wrong with this bow. Read full review...
