Hoyt RX 7 Ultra Long-Term Review

Just a year after introducing a new binary cam system and an in-line Picatinny sight mount, Hoyt Archery unveiled a brand new riser design for 2022 on the carbon RX-7 Ultra they sent me for testing.

And this year I finally learned why there was never an RX-2 or RX-5 in Hoyt’s lineup. It seems when they introduce a new riser, they skip a number. Thank you to long-time Hoyt pro Kevin Wilkey for that tidbit. FYI - Kevin was partially responsible for putting a bow in my hands for the first time, so if you don’t like this channel…blame him.

The Hoyt RX-7 Ultra has an axle-to-axle length of 34 inches, a brace height of 7 inches, and a rated speed of 334 feet per second.

Speaking of the Picatinny sight mount, that has also changed on the RX-7. Last year you had to do some minor surgery to the bow if you wanted to use that mount. This year it is built right into the riser, which makes life much easier. It still comes with standard sight mount holes for those who don’t want to upgrade to the Picatinny system, but I’m absolutely loving this new HHA Tetra Max sight.
