2024 Hoyt Alpha X 30 & Carbon RX-8 | FULL BREAKDOWN 

What's up man! I shoot an rx5, it shoots so good I think I'm gonna wait till the RX10 comes out. I can't find a better shooting bow than my rx5

I had a ventum 33. It was my favorite bow I've ever owned. I was shooting that at 26"

@@jackbuendgen389 Got rid of it?

@@FerventReminder yes unfortunately. It was 80# and it turned out to be too much for me. I took 2 weeks off of shooting and when I went to practice I couldn't draw it back. Shot every course at TAC and mountain archery fest with it no problem.

@@jackbuendgen389 I see, that sucks. Hopefully you're happy with what you're running now then.

@@FerventReminder yeah! I'm rocking a Hoyt RX-5 and bowtech reckoning at 70#.

It looks nothing like Matthews. what are you smokin? If anything they look like Obsession bows.

don’t know what I was thinkin’...@@SomeGuyFromOK

Redline Guru

It doesn't

I was going to ask how you did that.

A 10” stabilizer to replace the shorty and the Go-Sticks 2.0 allow you to keep the whole cam off the ground! I do that on my RX-7 and it’s a game changer.

It's not that big of a difference in real world price. Depends how often you change bows, and how much you want it. Your $, no one cares what you do with it.

@@WolfinWolvesClothing713 It is a $1,000 difference in Oz. The carbon being more expensive.

Agreed I’m keeping my RX7 Ultra.

Agree I still think the rx-7 twin turbo still knocks it out the park

Actually quite a bit of differences, new spacers, threaded axle, new cam, 1/4” adjustment, new letoff adjustments, new limb design. What more can you ask for?

@@evanmckendrick2495 I agree definitely more of a different but I wonder if they’ll bring a turbo bow out this year

Yeah maté big difference

😂 yeah they're not.

Hey thanks for the comment. Couple things.....First, if you go to 2:47 in the video, you will see the target layouts. From where I am standing, I am shooting uphill to those targets. So it might look like I'm holding really high, but I'm not in relation to the target I'm shooting. Second, this draw often gets confused with a skydraw. I start with both elbows up high and then the bow is coming down as the string comes back. By the time I reach full draw, I'm on the target, but during the draw cycle, I'm never over the "backstop," which in this case is the hill behind the targets. This is a draw you will find that is taught by many instructors - including our own - especially for target archery where you do a lot of shooting. This style of draw saves your shoulders. The old...point the bow at the target and draw straight back....is a shoulder killer. What I'm doing uses leverage to get the string back.

Agree, no lateral movement at all is the best in a hunting scenario. No defense or education of a draw cycle will convince me otherwise. If it's a shoulder killer, lower the poundage. Been shooting 11 years, I know that's nothing to some but I'm so tired of companies jerking us around at this point. Maybe it's due time for a social media break.

Rather then list the elites that do indeed skydraw I'd rather address what's seen. 2 yrs ago at Redding a buddy had his water bottle shot.. he was missed by the smallest of margins. Another friend was calling arrows, she was inches away from being hit. I watched one of the elites at the Rushmore rumble put an arrow 20+ feet above the target, in the wall. If he didn't "set his shoulder" and did a level draw, that just couldn't happen. Releases fail, D loops fail, Archers make mistakes. I'm 61 yrs old, shoot 68ish pounds for hunting, 59 for target. Shoot 100-150 arrows 6 days a week. All with a level draw. Your video shows a skydraw, regardless of target position, once you start the draw cycle, tension on the string, cams loading up, you really need to be pointed at the target. We, all of us, need to do a better job of educating Archers on just what a proper, safe draw is. Social media can do a better job of not showing bad form, and calling out those who have bad form. Yes, I absolutely called out the Archer who shot the wall. The arrow penetrated the wall by a few inches, which was just above the bleachers on the other side. Imagine if it was a bit lower, and it was an outdoor arrow that would have penetrated deeper? Please, let that sink in. Imagine that water bottle shot was 2 inches to the right? Please, help educate Archers on the dangers of skydraws. One shot Archer or spectator is more valuable then shooting poundage higher then an Archers strength allows or, what is being taught. Safety is the #1 priority.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop making stupid comments! A sky draw means well... Pointing the bow at the SKY!! He's not

@@jackbuendgen389 stupid? I'll leave it at that.

Reee!!!!

Just the riser. By one of the best carbon companies in the world. Obviously if they could do it here cheaper they would.
