Buy Hoyt Carbon RX 5 Online. The HBX Hoyt Binary Cam is a new design for the company. It uses a three-groove configuration for the string and two control cables, and it anchors the cables to the opposite cam rather than to limb tips. This reportedly forces the cams to work together and autocorrect for small system imbalances. The HBX covers a draw-length range of 25-30 inches using two rotating modules: Mod No. 2 is 25-28 inches while Mod No. 3 is 28.5-30 inches. Letoff is adjustable from 80 to 85 percent.

The RX-5 is outfitted with Hoyt’s Hybrid EXT split limbs, which are multi-layered, laminated and machined into their final form. Limb designs, which employ Hoyt’s Uniform Stress Distribution and Split Limb Technology, are subjected to 1,000 full-on dry fires with the bow set to an 80-pound draw weight and 30-inch draw length. The company’s Limb Shox also have been re-optimized to work with the HBX Cam. Precision-machined limb pockets handle the critical limb-to-riser interface and cradle the wide-stance limb platform that optimizes torsional and lateral stability.

Impressions

The RX-5 test rig handled well in terms of maneuverability, allowing me to consistently seat my hand at full draw. I personally like the X-Act Grip and found it was comfortable and sized well for my hand. The bow’s weight was a little heavier than expected, considering it is a carbon bow.

At the shot, there was only a small “bump” in the handle and no detectable vibration; as you would expect, shot noise was minimal due to the lack of shock and vibration. As is common with Hoyt bows, the draw was consistent, with no harsh transitions. The RX-5 is steady on the target and has a slow, steady follow-through.
