Hoyt Concept X 40 Compound Bow

The Hoyt Concept X 40 is Hoyt's stability specialist - a long-distance target bow built on the longest riser the company has ever machined, and it commits fully to the hold. It carries flagship money, $1,999 with standard limbs and $2,199 with the high-gloss set, and lands at the same price as the shorter Concept X 37 despite being visibly more bow. It answers with a 32.5-inch riser that sits dead-still, wide TXL limbs that make it ridiculously hard to torque, an SCTR cam whose let-off tunes in 2.5% steps, and a full 30-inch draw off the standard module. Its 327 fps is rated to Hoyt's stricter ATA standard, so it is quicker than the number suggests. In my experience the long riser and torque-proof limbs do exactly what they promise - the aim plants itself and the bow shoots dead in the hand - and it asks only for an honest release in return. An excellent choice for the outdoor field and FITA archer who values length and hold above all; shorter-draw shooters should look at the Hoyt Concept X 37, and those who want the quietest dead hold should also consider the Mathews TRX 40... read full review
