4.31# out of the box
4.53# with integrated rest
5.18# with integrated rest, black gold accent pictany mounted site ,6-in carbon rod added to the bottom with factory stub stabilizer, peep and loop

That's only .18 lbs over my very similarly dressed Mach 1

One thing I have just noticed really... the new 2021+ Hoyt Binary cams result in a shockingly long cord for the QAD, at least compared to the previous cams. So much slack when not at full draw. How much if any issue I am not sure, but after being used to a nice short cord on may past few Hoyts, the Ventum Pro 33/QAD cord length really stands out.

Rx7 ultra, 2 piece solo 4 arrow quiver, QAD integrated, 8 inch bee stinger with no weight, no stubby, 5 pin black gold slider with ML3 short base and 3 arrows in quiver (arrows are 450 grains each). Getting 6.22 lbs

Has a peep with lenses and d loop, and string whiskers.

Season is over, so I did a quick tear down to get weights for everyone. My bow is 65# limbs, so a 70# might be a touch heavier, and 50# for example, will be a bit lighter due to less limb material. I believe Hoyt weights the bow configurations with 50# limbs and removal of dampening accessories.

My bare bow without dampening accessories weighs in at 3.94#.

My accessories weigh as follows:
Limb dampener (each): 1.07oz
Shock pod (each): 1.12oz
Stealth Shot: 0.94oz

Full bow with dampening accessories (no stabilizer) is 4.28#.

So I think the big question really is: how important are the accessories to you, or do you value lower mass weigh as most important? I personally would not shoot without a stealth shot, but I did shoot the bow with and without the other dampeners and though there is a small difference, it’s not very significant IMO. To me, the bow mass is adequate for my needs, so I’ll elect to leave them on, but if you’re looking to cut 0.3#, you might try the bow without the dampeners with your hunting accessories on the bow and see if it suits your needs.

Such a shame that they have to be liars because they’re embarrassed about it.

I suppose you can choose to view it however you wish, but it’s certainly feasible to get the bow in a shootable configuration at the spec weight of 3.9#. Hoyt clearly states in their product guide that bow mass weights are measured without rubber accessories. You can also add all of the vibration dampening accessories to squeeze that last 5% out and make it 4.3#. You can decide which configuration suits your needs. Per your response, I guess I’d recommend to enjoy the spec weight and remove the accessories.

One piece that is difficult to quantify but important towards overall bow mass is the accessory mounting options seem very intentional to reduce overall mass weight. You can use a much lower mass front stab with the low forward stab mount and lighter weight sight and rest with the integrated options. I’m using their 2pc quiver which holds very tight to the bow and is super light weight. All of those influence a lower overall mass weight than I would be able to achieve with some other brand options.

Or better still they can just tell the truth list the bow at 4.3 which is the weight it comes when you take it out of the box.
I’d rather not make excuses to justify people lying

Honestly, it’s not lying if they literally tell you exactly how they arrive to the spec weight. You can choose to not like that, but that doesn’t make it lying or misleading. My bow measures per spec according to their description of mass weight. It’s my choice to add accessories (and weight) outside of the 3.94# weight. I’d appreciate it a whole lot less if those accessories came to me at added cost if I choose to use them.

I’ve shot lighter bows from PSE in the past, and IMO they could really use to add some of these accessories to tame down the manners of those bows. Then again, minimum mass weight really isn’t my top priority buying decision. Thankfully for those who hold that as their top priority, they can achieve the spec weight by removing some dampeners and still enjoy a very mild mannered bow even without them. I’d recommend everyone with a RX7 take off those dampeners and try the bow without. Do your own analysis for whether you shoot the bow with or without.

I don’t see any asterisk. Do you?
Why are you okay with lying?

It's literally in the spec table of the Hoyt product catalog. Again, its not lying just because you choose not to believe it. Hoyt clearly describes how they arrive at mass weight specs, and you're choosing to define the bow mass in a different way. My measurements above clearly show that the bow will meet spec if I choose to set it up that way. I chose to hunt mine with the dampeners and no shorty stabilizer. You may choose to hunt yours without all dampening and stabilizers since you're apparently after the lowest weight option. Sorry if it makes you feel bad or insecure with your decision-making, I guess I don't know how else to explain it. Either way, I'm very well satisfied with my RX7 purchase decision, and continue to believe this is the best bow I've ever had the privilege of putting arrows through.

If it was advertised correctly you wouldn’t need to hunt for in a disclaimer. More smoke and mirror bull s hit .
I wouldn’t buy a bow from you either if your comfortable lying.

Thanks for taking the time to strip down your bow, and get us a true "bare weight." It would be nice if that 3.9 would include all the dampening equipment, but at least now we know where the 3.9 came from 👍🏼

I just weighed my RX7 outta the box yesterday, 70# limbs, with the dampening accessories, I was getting 4.42lbs. Definitely feel lighter than my RX5. I am very impressed with the grip, and the overall fit and feel of this bow. I have loved every RX bow made, this is a big step up IMO. I hate to say it, but I hate the hat I got, black with just a RX on it, think its ugly and so outta shape in the box, I won't wear it. And yes, I am complaining about what some call a free hat, I call it a "here, wear this and advertise for us" bonus haha. I beat up my Hat from RX1, and only no started wearing the hat that came with the RX5. Bow is sick!

Yep, with a $1500+ bow, you should just get a $25-$30 coupon to use on Hoyt's website. Get what you want. T-shirt, hat, cup or put it toward a soft case or something. Would add traffic to their website, and would inevitably get more sales that way.......but who am I to give good ideas, right??

That's a great idea for sure.

Reading through this thread leaves me thinking most guys complaining look like this in here.

 

[Poolparty]

So 80lb limbs to shoot the same speed as my CS34 at 70? Btw 80’s are on order for my ventum pro 33.

Any updates on this? Interested and following
