Hoyt Carbon RX Twin Turbo Compound Bow

The 2022 Hoyt Carbon RX Twin Turbo is a speed bow that refuses to behave like one, and that is its whole appeal. It launched at carbon-flagship pricing and earns the tier with rare honesty on the chronograph - owners measure the mid-340s fps with a light arrow against a 350 IBO claim, and 290 to 310 fps with real hunting arrows, running 10 to 18 fps ahead of the standard RX-7. The new HBX Twin Turbo cam is the story: a rotating module that finally opens turbo speed to short-draw shooters, plus an adjustable 80% to 85% let-off the old 75% turbos never offered. What sells it in the hand is what it does not do - it does not jump, it does not buzz, and it does not get loud, shooting dead and quiet where older turbos punished you for the speed. The trade-offs are real and narrow: a draw that stacks through the last few inches and a short valley you have to stay engaged on, both of which most owners stop noticing after a break-in. The carryover RX-5 riser is its only genuine compromise, and it shoots like a Hoyt carbon flagship regardless. This is an excellent bow for the speed-focused hunter - the western archer flattening trajectory across uncertain yardage, or the short-draw shooter who was locked out of real turbo speed until now - and it is particularly strong as a fast bow you can still aim. Buyers who would rather trade that top-end speed for a more forgiving brace and an easier draw should also look at the PSE Evo NXT 33, while those cross-shopping the same 350 fps in an aluminum chassis should weigh the Bowtech SR350... read full review
