Pros
Pros
- The X3 cam draws like nothing else here - an owner who shot the 2017 target circuit called it the easiest, smoothest cycle he had ever felt, and said it doesn't feel like a 60-pound bow
- Tunes fast and stays put - owners report bullet holes through paper in a few arrows and a tune that holds shot after shot across a full season
- Best-in-class grip - the 4-angle modular grip earned one competitive shooter's pick as his favorite of every target bow he tested that year
- Genuinely dead-stable on the line - the 40.25-inch axle-to-axle and the most generous brace height of its test group let the pin float slow and forgive a less-than-perfect release
- Two cams, one chassis - pick the smooth X3 or the firmer, faster SVX without changing the riser, grip, or any of the platform you've learned
- The X3 valley is short and the back wall a touch spongy - staying firmly into the wall handles it, timing both cams to their stops together firms it up, and shooters who want a rock-solid wall can choose the SVX cam instead
- Built for stability, not speed - at 312-317 fps IBO it is deliberately slower than shorter speed bows, so an archer chasing raw velocity should weigh that against the brace-height forgiveness it buys
- Out of production since 2019 and found only on the used market now - target archers who want a new Hoyt rig should look at the brand's current target lineup
