Hoyt's 2026 Bow Lineup Features New XTS Tuning System

For 2026, Hoyt Archery has redefined precision with the launch of its patent-pending XTS Tuning System™, an innovation that changes how bows are tuned and optimized. The XTS system allows archers to make quick, simple, and precise adjustments, all without a bow press. Unlike traditional tuning systems that only correct left and right tears, XTS also addresses high and low tears, giving shooters a complete tuning solution for every setup.

Whether you’re paper tuning, bare-shaft tuning, or fine-tuning broadhead flight, XTS ensures perfect arrow flight faster and easier than ever before. If you can turn a wrench, you can tune your bow. With this breakthrough technology now featured in both the new Carbon RX-10 and Alpha AX-3 bows, Hoyt continues to set the standard for innovation, performance, and shootability. 

Carbon RX-10

The Hoyt Carbon REDWRX line gets a serious upgrade for 2026 with the all-new, patent-pending XTS Tuning System™, giving bowhunters a faster, simpler, and more precise way to dial in perfect arrow flight. The RX-10 lineup — including the RX-10, RX-10 Ultra, RX-10 Ultra LD (Long Draw), and RX-10 SD (Short Draw) — is engineered for total customization and ultimate accuracy. Built around Hoyt’s proven HBX Gen 4 cam system, each model delivers the hallmark speed, smoothness, and dead-in-hand feel that REDWRX bows are known for.

The Carbon RX-10 is built for speed, precision, and versatility. Shooting arrows at an impressive 342 fps, it offers serious power in a compact package with a 30 1/2-inch axle-to-axle length. Weighing just 4.1 pounds, this lightweight bow delivers a smooth, manageable draw complemented by a 6 1/8-inch brace height for stability and accuracy. Adjustable draw lengths range from 25 to 30 inches, and draw weights are customizable from 40 to 80 pounds, making it suitable for a wide variety of archers.

Of course, the RX-10’s carbon riser also offers a clear advantage in the field. If you've only shot an aluminum riser in the past, it won't take long to notice the difference in your hand when hunting in cold weather. Carbon, with its lower thermal conductivity, feels noticeably warmer to the touch — a comfort advantage you’ll appreciate on every frigid sit. 

Lightweight, rigid, and whisper quiet, the RX-10 balances effortlessly and looks every bit as premium as it shoots. With refined finish options — from blackout/topo limbs to color-matched logos — the RX-10 delivers the perfect blend of cutting-edge performance, comfort, and style. Simply put, nothing shoots like a Hoyt Carbon REDWRX bow, and nothing outperforms the new RX-10.

Alpha AX-3

Hoyt’s third-generation Alpha X platform raises the bar again with the introduction of the patent-pending XTS Tuning System™, the most advanced tuning innovation the company has ever released. The new AX-3 lineup — offered in 29-, 33-, 33-LD (Long Draw), and SD (Short Draw) configurations — delivers unmatched balance, rock-solid hold, and a draw cycle that’s as smooth as it is consistent. Hunters who loved the Alpha X for its stability, In-Line™ accessory integration, and compact design will find even more to appreciate with the XTS upgrade.

The Alpha AX-3 — in 29-inch form — is engineered for high performance and smooth shooting. With a speed of 340 fps and a 29 ½-inch axle-to-axle length, it strikes the perfect balance between maneuverability and stability. Weighing just 4.4 pounds, the bow is lightweight yet powerful, featuring a 6 ⅜-inch brace height for forgiving accuracy on every shot. Its adjustable draw lengths span 25 to 30 inches, with draw weights ranging from 40 to 80 pounds, accommodating a wide spectrum of archers. Powered by the HBX Gen 4 cam system, the Alpha AX-3 delivers crisp shots, efficient energy transfer, and a smooth, consistent draw cycle.
