Not all archer’s are created equal. That’s a fact. Not all bows are created equal. This too, is a fact.

The all-new 2018 REDWRX Carbon RX-1 Series is engineered for those archers who demand everything. They are built to perform and excel in the most pressure packed conditions imaginable. Pick the configuration best for you and put it to the test. Nothing delivers like the Hoyt Carbon RX-1 Series.

EFFECTIVE STRING ANGLE AT FULL DRAW

We engineer more than bows; we engineer form. “Reaching” your head forward to your peep is more than just uncomfortable, it’s inconsistent. We engineered the ZT Hyper Cam Systems to promote comfortable, strain-free posture at full draw by increasing the distance between our cams at full draw. This broader cam-to-cam distance at full draw creates an ideal “flatter” string angle and brings the peep to you. These innovations allow a more relaxed, strain-free posture at full draw, and reduce facial contact, string pressure, and eye fatigue at anchor. The days of “reaching” are over; your days of tight, consistent groups have arrived.

I’ve bowhunted with previous Hoyt carbon bows. And although I’ve put more Hoyt aluminum-riser bows to work than I can recall, I’ve deemed Hoyt’s carbon bows among my annual favorites ever since the venerable manufacturer jumped into this program. The Carbon Defiant discussed here is a Michael Waddell Bone Collector Brotherhood Collector’s Edition, which is a black, crinkle-finished bow with a green/black bowstring, lime-green buss cables, Limb Shox and Shock-Rods, buck-skull logo grip and string stop.

The Carbon Defiant’s riser is centered around three Helical Flex Tune hollow carbon tubes, which maximize structural strength while reducing weight by 53 percent compared to solid tubes. The Carbon Defiant’s riser is built from more than 50 hand-laid parts, all assembled with exacting engineering to create a stiffness-to-weight ratio 11 times higher than comparable aluminum risers. These risers are so durable, that the Carbon Defiant—set at 80 pounds at 30 inches and producing over 104 foot-pounds of energy—also survived 1,500 dry-firing tests.

What sets the Carbon Defiant apart most as a hunting bow is its PerfectBalance Stabilization System and Offset Riser
Technology geometry. They combine to make the Carbon Defiant one of the best-balanced bows you’ll ever handle. The riser has an offset swerve, and the stainless steel stabilizer bushing is offset 0.75 inches outside center-shot (opposite the sight-mounting bracket) to deliver ideal balance.

Hoyt’s DFX Cam & ½ system offers many real-world advantages. First, the DFX is extremely efficient and highly forgiving, which was obvious during my tests. The Hoyt Carbon Defiant proceeded from heaviest to lightest arrows smoothly, with speeds increasing in the nearly linear fashion without a change in speed more than 1 fps in five shots, and most didn’t vary at all. The DFX’s hybrid cam maximizes the string angle at full draw, with the cams swinging out from the limb tips to increase the bow’s overall length when the shooter snugs into anchor.

The Carbon Defiant’s riser and past-parallel limbs also deliver inherent silence. The split limbs hold wedge-fit “radiated” Limb Shox, i.e., limbs anchored by streamlined, pivoting Defiant ProLock Pockets, each with three imbedded Shock-Rod Technology dampeners between limbs and riser. Hoyt’s Silent Shelf Technology, a rubber pad covering the arrow shelf, eliminates game-spooking arrow clicks while using many models of drop-away rests. It promotes consistent nock separation while also taming bowstring twang and eliminating the need for string silencers, which can reduce speeds.

Finally, Hoyt’s Zero Torque Cable Guard System includes a buss-cable roller system on a spring-loaded base that flexes inward at full draw to eliminate lateral torque and further increase accuracy and shooting ease. The Carbon Defiant is easy to tune and highly forgiving. It seems to shoot itself. It took me little time to assemble fist-sized groups out to 40 yards.

Media Direct’s Bowhunting Roundtable took place on May 24-26 in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah. A handful of members of the outdoor media gathered at the Easton Salt Lake City Archery Center to meet with manufacturers and learn about exciting new products.

These opportunities are always amazing for outdoor writers because it gives us the chance to meet face to face with the experts and specialists behind some of the industry’s most cutting edge products. This intimate gathering provided an amazing setting to ask questions, test gear, and learn firsthand about the inspiration behind it all.

In a stroke of good luck and expert planning, both the Easton and Hoyt manufacturing facilities were a stone’s throw away from the Easton Salt Lake City Archery Center, providing us with the opportunity to tour the factories. It was truly amazing to see all the hard work and technology behind the products from these facilities. We often take the polished, finished result for granted. Seeing the dedication and processes behind it all shed a new light on these two great companies.

Amazingly, Media Direct’s Mark Sidelinger and Kim Cahalan also managed to bring a great deal of fun to the table in addition to the in-depth learning experience. The first night of the event was marked with a game of ‘archery tag’. This new sport has been making a lot of waves and is steadily growing in popularity. Outdoor writers and manufactures split into random teams, got geared up, and went at it in a battle of tactics, precision and teamwork. On day two, after meeting with manufacturers and touring Easton and Hoyt, our group had the pleasure of receiving recurve lessons from none other than Olympic gold medalist Jay Barrs. We then put our newly polished skills to the test on Easton Salt Lake City Archery Center outdoor range in a head to head shooting competition. Finally, we rounded out the gathering with a clay-pigeon style areal shooting practice.

All in all it was a memorable and enlightening event. I think it’s safe to say that we all feel truly blessed to be working in this amazing industry.
