What changes would you like to see in Hoyt's 2024 hunting bows?

Yeah the switch weight mods are pretty cool. New archers or those with kids, teens, young adults can see advantages from this. For folks who know their DL and poundage they just don’t accomplish much. For bow shops they’re great as long as the shop stocks a bunch of mods. Personally I wouldn’t give up DL and let off adjustability on the cam for the idea of having to purchase another mod or run to the bow shop to trade mods. Switch weight mods are fine but realistically they just can’t compete with adjustable cams.
Totally agree. I like the idea of it for the switch from early to late season but not at the expense of rotating mods. That’s just too nice. I’ve got too many growing archers on my dime to buy into a system I can’t adjust DL on the cam without buying a new mod.

I haven’t kept up with Hoyt since the decision to remove USA from the name. But I would say, if they haven’t done it yet, some sort of tuning aid for shimming like the other brands have.
lastly, just personal preference, their bows are just flat out ugly. I wish they would change that. Aesthetics. They look like a horseshoe with cables.

Same as most people, easier tuning via cam movement, overlapping modules, a little bit better speeds the RX7U is a great bow but is slower than the competition. My last Hoyt shot 271fps @ 29.5 in and 280fps @ 29in so I shot it at 29. But in my opinion there should not be an almost 10fps difference between the 2 mods on that specific bow.
agree
, nice bow....a tic outta the "budget range" imho

A faster short draw option at 70lbs.
they draw is a little gritty feeling compared to other bows. I’m really not sure why. I’m not complaining about the draw cycle or weight on the cycle, but it feels unrefined especially next to a Mathews. I’d love it feel more refined
Yeh I was going to say same thing. That thing is hideous and looks like a 2 yr old molded it out of play-doh

Something under 4 lbs. I don't care if it vibrates or moves a little on the shot. I just don't want to carry an 8 lb loaded bow 5 miles back into the woods
I haven’t owned a Hoyt for a long time. I don’t really include them in my consideration for a new bow. I was a little excited when they did their redesign a couple years ago, but I personally found them to be lacking when compared to other brands.
So I doubt whatever they do in 2024 will affect me much.

To spend more time on the build of the strings on these bows!! The money they ask for these bows a Customer shouldn't half to deal with strands breaking and the stretch !!! KEEP THE HBX PRO CAM!! I would like to see 70/75 let off options!!!! Love the Highline and yes I agree should be available for shorter draw guys also!! Awesome Bow!! Thanks Hoyt!!!
I would to see Hoyt build a bow similar to the RX-1 on that 32.5/33” axle to axle and has IBO in the 342-345 FPS and goes out to 31” draw.
