- A look at three different years of Hoyt bows.
2004 Hoyt xtec/xt1000 36 1/2 ata @ 72 lbs Letoff 65%
2011 Hoyt Rampage 33 ata @72 lbs Letoff 75%
2019 Hoyt RX3 Ultra 34 ata @ 82 lbs Letoff 85%
The age old question, does my 2004 compound bow stand up to a new bow?? A lot of people would argue no, and even more would argue absolutely! I think the biggest difference between 2004 and 2019 is overall performance, speed’s, back wall, weight of the bow so itself and SOUND!
The 2004 is an older are still great Bows and will still take down an animal just as easy today as they did back then. Today I think it comes down to more preference than anything mentioned above. Of course these are my personal opinions.
Hope you all enjoy the video if you have any requests for anything special please comment below and I will do my best to get it out there for you!
The older Hoyts are the best the company ever made. I have an old UltraTec and just bought a VTec. Wouldn't trade them for anything on the market today!
Love the older hoyts. Vtec, ultratec, reflex excursion
Some of the best!
Hoyt XTEC Alert along with anything that uses the TEC risers. The black plastic rocker arms. They ride on a bolt where limbs meet the riser. They need to be greased.
Take the bow to a shop. Have the strings removed and pull the limbs from the riser. My rocker arms were shot and cracked. Just needed a replace and a bit of white lithium grease. They are TRIAX rocker arms. If you have the 60-70 bow you need the #6 rockers.
My 2004 hoyt still takes deer.
Dutch1722 Awesome! It’s hard to kill an old Hoyt! They are built to last!
Dutch1722 what Hoyt are you shooting?
@@AntlerAssassinTakovich TX2000 very quiet bow @ 62#. Took many deer for guy that owned it before me. I bought because it can hit pie plates out to 50 yards, but I take deer 8-15 yards from stand most of the time. Its a nice bow to shoot and sells used for $100 around here.
@@AntlerAssassinTakovich Yep string change will be worth more than bow soon.
My factory limb savers rotted off. I tried without and it was too loud as well as shaking site loose. I installed a set of twistlok limbsavers. Site still moved. Bought another set and that did the trick. I spaced them in pairs about equidistant apart. That raised poi 8 inches at 32 yards. Further dampening the bow. Then string wax string silencers and she is quiet . Gonna run it on chrony as I think the energy in shaking vibration has been transfered energy to the string and raising poi.
Love the Compasion. I have a hoyt v-tech. People laugh but it still does the job
Skip Mitchell Absolutely!!
Stay tune for more videos on this 2020 season !
Loved the copper/bronze details on the old Magnatec
Definitely a sharp looking bow. Wish they still did some neat accents on hunting bows these days.
Still shooting my xtec in 2023. Shoots so accurate!!
Dear friend, and I saw that video that you published a year ago, I liked it because I happened to buy a Hoyt st 1000 this week and I thought before buying to take a look at goggles and I saw it especially to my liking, I congratulate you and by the way, I and subscribed to your channel it has been a pleasure ... God bless you ...
Thank you so much for the sub and follow. I greatly appreciate your support. I’m glad to hear the video secured your decision to go HOYT! You won’t be disappointed! If there’s anything I can do to help you out feel free to drop a message any time. 🤘🏻🏹
I bought my 2009 katera brand new. It doesn't want to creep it has no vibration its very quiet and its fast as hell. I haven't bought a new bow since. I hunt with it and i shoot archery competitions and my back wall is solid and i can hold it at full draw all day if i had to.
Like the wooden grip on the Hoyt probably get one for my rx5 💪🏿💯
The wooden grips are nice. However after I read your comment I slid one of my wood grips on my RX5 and it doesn’t fit. Cut is different. Could have one made. Or look at the rattler grips side plates or just stick with the stock grip. Also no screw holes so if you did have one made you’d have to tap some holes into the riser grip
Thanks for info
Great video man love seeing the comparison with old and new I shoot a 2016 btx 31 and love it it out shoots the new bowtech sr6 all day long just because it's old doesn't mean it's no good great video man
Jason McDowell thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video! And I agree 150%
Ill never stop shooting my alpha burner
Honestly!!!! I miss the crap out of my Rampage XT. That thing was AMAZING
Triple S Outdoors Rampage was a great bow for sure! The XT was faster than this one in the video. Believe that XT had Fuel
Cams didn’t it?
Yes it did.
Thanks intended for giving these sort of fantastic info.
that Ultra hits with authority !
Micidiale870 it definitely packs a good punch! 🤘🏻🏹
I have a 2012 Hoyt Vector 32 in great condition. I know the new Hoyts are great but for 200 bucks I can restring the Vector. All said and done your into 2 grand for a new bow. Do you feel the new bows are worth the money? Thanks
The sound is about the same. My hoyt katera has a solid back wall no vibration its fast and its deadly accurate. I bought it brandnew back in 08 for 800 bare and it shoots 330 feet per second. Its a 70 pound bow and i've won a lot of archery competitions with it and killed a bunch of deer with it. I've shot deer and they just stood there because it's so quiet. My katera is 4 pounds.
Like the old bows look and shape so much more
i have a hoyt razertec bow but i don’t know the lowest amount of draw you could put on it. do you know the highest and lowest? it’s a hoyt razertec 2004? can you give me a number like 32-54 a number like that
If you can email me a photo of the limb sticker where those numbers are. I could provide you a better answer.

You said it’s been a while since you shot your oldest bow. How long has that been? I have a 2010 Hoyt Tomahawk that I haven’t shot in about 7 years. Did you get yours checked out and inspected before shooting?
I inspect my own bows. But For this one I checked the Strings and limbs. Made sure there were no signs of cracking or failure. I do believe I changed a buss cable on that X-tec before I filmed this. But highly recommend inspection before shooting any time. Not only After sitting for about 6-7 years. If you don’t have a bow press or experience with inspection of your bow. Definitely drop it by your pro shop and have them give it a quick look.
🤘🏻🏹
I love my old Hoyt power hawk
I bought a new a new Hoty Turbotec in 2005.
That was the worst bow I’ve ever owned.
60% let off
Zero valley
Short brace height
That bow wanted to rip out of your hand.
Fast forward 18 years.
Now I’m shooting a Mathews V3X-29.
Bows have came a very long way since those days.
Great video!!!
Thank you for watching!
could u cono graph all three bows? I have Hoyt power tech and Hoyt nitro turbo I really want a new one but man like u said either bow would work
Douglas Christian I definitely can do that. I actually have been planning a chrono video on the old VS new. I have a Nitrum turbo I can throw in there as well.
Nitrum was one of my favorites and I refuse to get rid of it. Anytime I have to get strings installed or for some crazy reason need a backup bow the Nitrum is my go to.
My 2000TX circa 2004 bow is quieter and smoother than my Hoyt Ignite.
I agree. Those 2004 Hoyt TEC bows are some of the quietest and most forgiving bows out there and still kept an appreciable speed.
Getting into bow hunting abs I have a Hoyt zr200 and it’s good for an old bow
Heck yeah man! The old hoyts hang right with the new ones. Regardless of what anyone says. 😉 I like new bows. But that wouldn’t stop
Me from shooting and old one! I’ve got an old ZR200 as well In my collection from over the years. I actually have it setup for bowfishing. Look for some of that content to drop this spring and summer!
I honest my Alfa burner is still faster than any them bows
Haha you think thats old? I use a pse fire flite. Im ready for an upgrade but i dont want to spend 1000$
What spine fmj are you shooting off of the rx-3 ultra
Jake Horton at 82.5 lbs I’m shooting a 300 spine. If the FMJ made a 280 I’d shoot that. But 300 is as good as it gets with the FMJ
nice form
I'm new to archery so tell me why it matters how loud the bow is , you only get one shot.
davetileguy That is a fantastic question and one that is not often asked, and I think the simplest answer I can give you is that noise comes down to vibration the more noise you have the more vibration you have the more vibration you have the more uncomfortable that bow is going to be in your hands when it’s fired. It’s pretty desirable to have a bow that’s dead in the hands upon release and quiet. dampers, Limb shocks, String stops, etc. can all help contribute to a quieter bowl. Thus making that bow less vibratory and comfortable. I hope that answers your question if you have any more feel free please comment again! Thanks for watching!
@@AntlerAssassinTakovich so you would say it only matters during practice because when hunting you only get one shot.
davetileguy To me it matters in both situations, Just because you’re hunting with a bow doesn’t necessarily mean you only get one shot, I hunt in states that sell multiple tags for instants my home state is Michigan and we get two buck tags. And I have at multiple times shot two bucks back to back that were traveling with each other. Had my bow been super loud when I fired it it probably would have alerted that Second buck To my presence. A lot of times just shooting a deer doesn’t necessarily spook off a whole herd or even a single deer that may be in the area. Usually the sound of the one you shot running in falling peaks the interest of other deer and they will come in and investigate, a loud smacking sound of a string when you shoot oh wow Bow will definitely keep that from happening. Ultimately it probably comes down to preference. Most target bows don’t use string stops so they are already loud, most hunting bows are dampened as much as possible to be quiet for a lot of those reasons. But again as I said in the comment before was that the more noise equals more vibration which equals less comfort. The more you shoot the more this will become obvious on how desirable a quiet bow is.
@@AntlerAssassinTakovich The communist state of Washington allows only one buck and occasional doe hunts in certain zones oh and antlerless deer hu ts whatever that is.
@@ExploringCabinsandMines If I may chime in? Being new to archery is the key...you may miss completely, a quiet bow will sometimes allow a second shot without spooking animal. Also, a quiet bow will not "jump" an animal...they don't even know what missed or what hit them, often times....when an arrow flies by it's just like wind...unless it hits something that makes noise you can still stalk the same beast. If it hits some dirt or even a tree, it only makes a "tick" noise... unless the beast is on high alert, it will not even blink. The chewing of cud or leaves makes a louder noise in its head. On that note, archery is completely different than rifle hunting. You have to get much closer....YOU MUST BE SILENT & INVISIBLE & SCENT FREE... don't waste your time with velcro releases, I watched a review of a bow & guy had mic on his shirt, when he drew back, the mic picked up his velcro stretch & every other sound tenfold, just like an animal...... practice shooting in silence!!! Good luck!
How come everytime you draw, you keep nodding at your target..??
Just a process I have of finding my anchor point and keeping it the same each time.
But my 80# Faktor 30 shoots better for “ME” than any of the new hoyts. I have not shot the helix though.
Hout maxxis
Its a hoyt its gonna kill deer
Show proof it was 82 ibs...
Send me your email and I’ll show you the scale and limb stickers. All I shoot is 80 and maxed out they hit between #81.5 & #83
Just put it on a next video...??
@@marvabeita8331 Go back to the video list. there’s probably five or six videos showing the bow reading an actual 83 pounds max. I think the first one in the list shows it at 81.1... but I’ll show it in the next one as well.
Nice video, but the music made my ears bleed. Not the kind of music but the freaking VOLUME difference. Please do not do such things again.
