I am not a bow guru by any means but I bought this bow last year and couldnt be happier. I do have a stinger bee stabilizer and qad dropaway on it and I dont notice the vibration and while shooting it my brother comments on how quiet it is but we were shooting outside instead of the close quarters this fella was shooting in. I am also shooting a 525 grain arrow out of the bow at 56 pound draw weight. I did shoot a buck last year and it blew through him like a bullet.
Thank you for doing this review as well as the plan to do other mid range priced bows. Many of us can’t spend the $1,100-$1,800 on a bare bow 🏹 plus additional cost for the accessories for that bow. I have thought about this bow, but I’m not sure where the closest Hoyt dealer/archery pro shop is to me in northern West Virginia. I plan on running with my old 2006 PSE for at least one more season and hopefully I can go bow shopping and keep my current bow as a backup
I have the Torrex. It’s an absolute tack driver and is completely dead in the hand and very quiet. Even with a stubby cheap stabilizer there is zero vibration. The XT might be a little worse with those different cams, but I can’t imagine it being bad at all with any sort of stabilizer on it. I put a 10” Hunter Maxx BeeStinger on mine and it’s so good it’s scary. I shot the Ventum 33 next to it and they felt the same with stabilizers. Also, my limb shox were mounted a little closer to the cams from factory then yours in the video. I’d say about a 3/8 of the way from the riser. Idk how much that would affect it, just saying.
Looking at buying this as it’s the only Hoyt I’ve found that goes down to my draw length of 25.5. I shot it today and did notice the buzz after but all in all it was fun to shoot and the price point is awesome!
I rather see how good the bow is without those because adding stabs will do that to all bows but not all are the same feeling without them I don't even use stabs on my traverse it's that dead in the hand to begin with so anything extra is a bonus
@@christopheracosta9823 I tested the embark. I really liked it. And I tested the Hoyt Torrex XT. The Hoyt was really spongy in the back wall. I’m going with the embark. But would love to see a video on it and see what MFJJ thinks about it.
@@Terpedup925 I Didn't get to shoot the Embark But I did Shoot the NTN Liked it A lot, but I Also Shot the Mathews V3 an Liked that A Lot too, I'm goin back to my Local shop soon too Shoot em Both Again cuz I'm gonna get one for my first bow, super stoked, I Shot the New Hoyts an Didn't Like Any Of Em, Felt way more aggressive in the hand to me, but the NTN an V3 were Very Very Similar
@@christopheracosta9823 where I went they didn’t have ntn plus the embark is more my price range right now and it will be my first bow. I already have the silver back release and the John Dudleys shot trainer lol
@@Terpedup925 I feel you I'd like to Shoot the Embark b4 I make a Final Decision an Put my order in for my Bow, how is that Shot Trainer? I wanna get one an I leaning more towards the Nock 2 it over the silverback tho, I just ordered the Spot Hogg Nock On Double Pin Sight for my Bow that I Don't Have Yet Thoooooo lol

I like this review, straight forward and honest, no sugar coating. 👍
Best bow & equipment reviews on TH-cam. Hi quality, accurate information on the important and pertinent features & specs. Great job brother 👍
I talked to the guys at Hoyt today and was told the Torrex XT has the same limbs as the Ventum 30. Definitely gonna try it out
Would love to see you do a review of the bear refine eko. Numbers wise it looks like a beast for the price.
Lol nice slow motion of the knocks 🤣
I wish they would put a carry handle on the outside offset the grip like APA archery does for hikes.
This bow looks nice.
Another informative video from MFJJ. Curious what your thoughts are on the bowtech amplify?

Still waiting on my Long Draw XT to make its way to Canada. Only a week or two left, thanks for the review of my first bow from MFJJ 👊
Took me like 6 months to get mine in NYC
Great review . You should consider doing a review of the Revolt X ; )
What's the most effective way to reduce the vibrations? It seems like a nice bow. I'm looking at these same 3 bows right now.
Add a stabilizer and tune it, the hand shock will be extremely minimal. I noticed the same thing, threw on a stab, virtually gone.
I rather see how good the bow is without those because adding stabs will do that to all bows but not all are the same feeling without them I don't even use stabs on my traverse it's that dead in the hand to begin with so anything extra is a bonus
@@mustang268at least tune it first to get an accurate feeling for it without a stab.
@@archercat2515 true that's what my shop does for their demo bows
I’m hearing the negative feedback… Is there a midprice bow that you would highly recommend?
Awesome review any chance you might be doing the PSE Drive NXT or PSE Embark that would be cool cheers for sharing!!
Lookin For that Embark an NTN review Myself 👌🏽
Arrows weight 350 grain with illuminated nocks? What is the is GPI of the arrow? Great review.
Very Curious What Your Opinion is on the PSE Nock On NTN 33, Please an Thank You MFJJ ✊🏽🤙🏽
Also the PSE Embark Too, Appreciate You MFJJ ✊🏽🤙🏽

I am looking for a bow at this price point it’s going to be my first is this a good first bow?
Is the zion on the list to test?
Where can u get this bow for 650? I haven’t seen it priced like that anywhere
For a trex arm individual. What's a few bows I should look into dl @26
I've looked into the torrex is why I ask lol
What price range are you looking for?
@@joshjones6862 would love to stay mid tier. But if I get more bang for the buck I wouldn't be against a flagship. I tend to keep stuff 6+ years.
Try the Hoyt eclipse at @ 26 inch draw at 60 pounds you won’t regret it. I have one at 26.5 bottomed out it is 65pds
It is super quiet and my speeds with a 4mm axis is 282. Best bow I ever shot
Josh you need to get a better camera man I can barely see this it's so dark
Speed is not everything
