New Bow - Hoyt RX5

[WBouldin]

Pulled the trigger on this as an upgrade from my Pro Defiant. Love the way it shoots and feels. Looking forward to getting to know her over spring and summer.

1600 and wrapped/refletched my arrows for free. I’m a Lefty so can get deals when things don’t move. The upside to rarely being able to find stuff

How do you like this now that you have had it a while? Would you buy it again? Anything you don't like?

I had the opportunity to switch to Matthews at industry pricing so shooting a V3 now. RX5 was a great bow tho.

Well so much for that review, here I thought I might learn something. Someday I'll be tempted to replace my Maxxis 31 with something a little newer but this thing still works. Are you sponsored by Mathews now or did the bow just shoot better? Peer pressure, what?

They are two different bows but both great. I just saw the opportunity to jump to another flagship bow while being able to sell the Hoyt for enough “margin” to buy a new pack - too good to pass up.

 

[WBouldin]

IMO none of us are good enough. Any of the flagship bows are going to be better than what we have and will do just fine.

 

[elevatorman]

So true. Once your at flagship level, they're all amazing bows. It's just a matter of what exact features you prefer and if you like the feel or look of one better.

I went to a bowshop that had all the flagships from hoyt, Matthew's, and bowtech in stock and shooting them all told me much faster what I liked than reading hours of reviews on the internet

Hoyt is stealing the market from mathews.
