Hoyt Alpha X build (My Honest Opinion) 

I just bought a brand new Darton Maverick XT 62lbs and I absolutely love it! Shoots great and it feels great.

I just purchased the Alpha X 30. I visited a reputable archery shop with an open mind and no brand loyalty and shot both the comparable Bow Tech and the Matthews Lift. The Hoyt cam and back wall felt incredibly smooth. Began with the 85% let off and decided to back it down to the 80% setting. The accessories made by Hoyt to go on this bow sealed the deal. My last bow was a Matthews and I purchased it for the same reason at the time. All the domestic manufactures now have incredible equipment and it come down to personal preference.

I went into my local archery shop with my heart set on buying a lift 33 but after putting a few arrows through both the lift and the alpha x, I bought the Hoyt and i couldn't be happier. I love it!!

Hey dude!! I am the guy that ran into at TNT when you were getting set up. Glad I found your channel. NIce video!

Good point of view! The little boy inside of me really would like the Alpha X 33. Looks fantastic. But hey, my Ventum 33 from 2021 puts out the same speed and I am comfortable with it. And I am 55 years old. Gotta tell that little boy to shut up 😁

I’m left handed so I don’t have much opportunity to shop for feel by personal comparison . I ordered a lift in January . Shot alpha x 2 weeks ago , both are sitting in my basement , Hoyt feels a lot better / more stable . Back wall is amazing no “ want to jump “ like the lift has . Lift will likely be my backup bow .

Good review, keep it up and keep being honest. That alone will set you apart from the others. 👌👌👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great video. I am sticking with my Mathews V3X 29. I just installed a new Gass string set with my press. The market is making some great bows but none of them do better than what I currently have. At least not enough to invest all that money.

Just bought this bow in the same color yesterday! Using an Axel landslyde for a scope. Shoots great

I’m still shooting a RX4 and love it. I have been looking at the new RX eight. I’ve always shot Hoyt the are pricey. Thanks for the honesty

Amen, I love my ventum pro. Also running a 500gr arrow and have had great success w that weight. Goodluck this season!

You should do a comparison of the lift and phase 4. Love the honest reviews.

You should run our picatinny conversion mount for the spot hogg.. slim that setup right up 👍

I have the original Ventum 30, this is the first year that I have truely thought about updating. I have been holding off b/c I don't feel like any are too big of a upgrade to what I have. The Lift is really calling me though I guess I should go shoot it.

Great advice! I shot the alpha x 33 and the Lift 33 side by side and personally liked the Lift a little more, so that’s the one I went with. At 70lb and 30.5” draw it’s shooting a 545g arrow at 275. Loving it so far.

I have a 2008 maxxis 35 I love and shoots amazing still but I’ve really been wanting to get an 85% let off bow but I’ve noticed they are slower with my arrow. Also not sure how bad timing would be with the cables it has and needing different sized spacers for cam lean tuning. The split buss seems to make tuning really easy. I’m telling you buying a new bow every year isn’t necessary but going from that 75% let off to 85% may be an upgrade for me.

Running a Hoyt Carbon Defiant 34. The one bow that hasn’t seemed to age like the rest.

Your back!! Wow I thought you were one of them guys that posted some good videos and disappeared lol.. Please get your hands on Mathew’s, Bowtech and elite

I have a Hoyt RX7 #88 for hunting and a RX7 Ultra 70# for 3D and target shooting

I totally agree.i shot the lift and the alpha x 30.i bought the hoyt alpha x 30 because it fit me the best.all bow manufacturers are putting out incredible bows.like you said ty you have to shoot them and see what fits you the best.anotyer awsome video. 💯👈👍

I've been shooting a hot carbon spyder 34 since it's release, might be time to upgrade.

Well said my friend. Appreciate honest advice. Rare these days.

I just bought an Elite Ethos. Haven’t shot it yet BUT I’ve seen some RU-vid videos where the Ethos was quieter than Mathews or Hoyt.

Shot the Lift, Alpha X, and the Ethos back to back the other day. The Ethos was the winner for me.

I have a diamond sb1 edge was my first bow and idk if I should upgrade to a new bow

Former Mathews guy, but I have an Rx-8 on order 🤟🏻

As a qualified engineer and keen bow hunter, I have not seen any serious design innovation/improvements since the Prime dual cam, single limb models, culminating in the Centergy 33 and Centergy Hybrid. Both these bows had test proven zero integral torque. The Centergy 33 is the only compound bow I have encountered wherein the horizontal structural centreline of the rest aligns perfectly with the horizontal centreline of the sight pin housing, which, in turn aligns perfectly with string nock and vertical riser/ limb centreline to give point of impact along a perfectly vertical line on the target. Zero integral torque should be mandatory for all bow designs; particularly top of the range flagship bows. Would you knowingly buy a hunting rifle that had to be tuned to compensate for sideways barrel whip as each bullet was traversing the barrel?

Going with elite

Mathews Title for 2024

I haven’t owned the go stiks but I shoot hoyt , I always thought it was a terrible idea letting the cam contact the ground , honestly couldn’t understand why Hoyt designed them like that originally they know how easy the cams can get nicked and damage the string

How does it compare to the RX3 turbo?

Is this at tnt in St. George

i really dont like the riser design if they can make it more st8 up and down

Why don't you take that big stabilizer off and put a 6" in front of the go-stix. it will reduce the total weight and bring the stabilizer weight almost 2" forward and much lower. Then you can use the 10" in the back

Hoyt Ventum 33 for 2024.

Z1S for 2024

What do you mean a

No PSE ???

A bow last longer than 6 years they actually last a lifetime if you don't break them and to be honest there isn't that big of a difference between a 6 year old bow than what's out now and I got a vtm

With all that said why did you buy that buy when you could have bought a $500 bow? And if you would then which one would you buy for $500? A complete bow setup.

Hoyt making great bows but cant compare with Mathews tehnology.Its just totally another level and every detail on Lift or older bow is maded with high quality.

Well I just bought hoyt vtm 34 over the new hoyt. No real upgrade for hoyt in my opinion. If I wanted to buy 2024 bow it be elite. Elite just ahead if the game in my opinion

What do you mean a bow is going to last 3, 4 to 5 years? I have been shooting the same bow since 2002. 21 years and all I’ve done is put a new string on it when needed. You Gen z kids really are delusional.
