Hey everybody this PJ Reilly from Lancaster Archery exciting day in our
Pro Shop today. Hoyt just come out with their 2018
lineup of bows and I am here with Gus Edwards who is our sales rep for Hoyt.
Gus thanks for being here and let's just jump right into it. What do we have from
Hoyt? What's what's first bow you're gonna tell us about? Absolutely, this is
the new REDWRX RX-1 from Hoyt. It's a 32 inch axle-to-axle bow at a blazing 340
feet per second. Loaded with a ton of innovation and technology that we will
go over here in just a few seconds. That's awesome so that one's 32 inches
the RX-1. Next up we got the... Yeah we step over to the RX -1 35.
This is 35 inches axle-to-axle at 330 feet per second
Gotcha. Guys who like a little longer bow that's gonna work correct. Right a little
longer, a little more stable platform. And then here we got some different camo but
what what can you tell us about that one. This is our red works carbon RX-1
Turbo and this thing comes in a blazing 350 feet per second at 32 inches axle-to-axle.
Yeah that's the turbo model. That is the turbo. And then here
this one looks different. This is aluminum riser.
Correct, this is our mainline aluminum riser bow this is the HyperForce and this is at a
32 inch axle-to-axle at also 340 feet per second. So Gus, right behind us we've
got this cool box this is different for a bow box when you usually don't see
that right. What is REDWRX? Okay so REDWRX basically is a line
within a line and REDWRX is going to create the separation from our aluminum
series bows from our carbon series bows. So like you'll see this year we did not
offer a turbo model in our aluminum series bow or a 35 inch model in the
aluminum series bows. So in years to come, you're gonna see a lot of our higher end
innovation and technology be in the REDWRX line.
There's a ton of new technology in these bows this year. Let's just start with the
cam. We could start anywhere. Absolutely! there's just so much technology we could
really go on and on but so we're gonna start out with the one of the biggest
things is the ZT Cam and that's our zero torque cam system that is combined
with our zero torque patent-pending cable system. It just provides a super
stable platform that keeps the cam from leaning all the way through the draw
cycle and just makes a for a very stable, very efficient easy to tune bow. And you
were saying this cam shoots at its best when it's perfectly vertical correct?
There is no positive cam lean now. We are actually setting these cams up to shoot
perfectly vertical with a 7/8 center shot. Now the cable system. This
is pretty unique. What's this doing? How's that work? Okay this is what's called the
splitter. So we have the main body, the yoke and this is the split yoke at the
bottom. And basically this system right here equalizes the pressure on both
sides of the cam in the limb and helps provide that stable platform along with
giving us the ability to get the 85% let-off. That's on these bows this year
right and now we talked about that a little bit it comes from the factory. 85%
but as you mentioned there are some states where they have a 80% max and so
you have a fix for that correct? From what I understand they are checking
these guys. So in about two to three weeks we're gonna have a mod that will
go on this bow that'll make it 80% let-off, with also another draw stop if you'd
like to make it 75% off. Also be available so let's move on to the limbs.
Sure. A different limb pocket system and tell us some new features that are built
into the limbs there. Absolutely, so this is our 3/4 split Quadraflex Limb
system that's combined with our new zero tolerance bi-axis limb pocket. And again,
this just really creates a super stable platform to go along with our ZT cam
that does everything like I said before it just creates that perfectly tunable
easy to shoot bow. And as you we're explaining, the bottom limb set-up
is actually wider than the top. I mean people are gonna notice that. Correct.
How does that... why is that a benefit that's a benefit because it makes the bow more
balanced. So I can actually hold this hand and this bow and the center of my
hand here and it'll it'll stay completely balanced. If you take this bow
and you're walking into your tree stand it's not going to hatch it forward it's
not going to fall forward without any weight upfront. So it's a very balanced
platform. Cool, all right so what else do we got in here? You were mentioning some
of the features is a new grip I believe. Yes, we have our new exact grip. So we're
able to make this grip more consistently than we were our wooden grips and it has
more of an ergonomically correct positioning to put your hand in the best
position. We were also able to eliminate our flex guard and a lot of that, which I
didn't mention, was because of our ZT cam. And by going with this cam system and
basically the whole system the three-quarter split limb, the
patent-pending cable system... we were able to even take lateral nock travel to an
all-new level. Reducing it even 50% more than it was before.
And it was in the past so that's gonna help people who are having problems with
left - right shots. Problems with their arrow flight.
Absolutely, that's awesome. All right so now let's talk about some
adjustability here. There are actually three different cam sizes for
this bow. Correct. It's the two, three and four. What's the draw
lengths that we're talking? Okay well our primary cam is probably gonna be our
number three cam. This cam is adjustable four inches, so it'll go from
27 to 30 inches of draw right on the cam with no mod change. Just quick three
turns on the mod screws. Pop the pin. Rotate it. Move the draw stops and you're
done. Another advantage to this system is
there are no longer any timing issues. You can go from the shortest to
the longest draw on this bow and you do not have to have a timing change for
that. Some of the shorter draw archers understand there's a number two cam they
would get to go from 24.5 to 28 inches.
And then for the big guys, you're gonna have a number four cam
which goes from 29 to 31 in this bow, correct?
But then in the 35 inch bow, it goes from 29 to 32, correct? So basically
we've created a platform that will fit just about anybody. Yeah that's gonna
cover just about everyone you're right.
And now let's talk about the camo? What's that camo you're
holding there? Yeah absolutely, so this is super cool
Kuiu Verde that we had this year on our bow. We also have the Realtree Edge in
the line. That's the new Realtree camo this year. Yeah and then we've got the
Under Armour Ridge Reaper Under Armor Ridge Reaper and that is on our Cameron
Haines edition bow - "Keep Hammering." There is also Sitka Subalpine. We also
carried over our Buckskin color and our Black Out for this year. Well Gus, thanks
