2022 Hoyt RX-7 ULTRA First Looks With MFJJ!!

[@ianmcgaughey1]

The ultra in my shop was a little under poundage and the draw was a little short, yours may be as well. I averaged 323 at true 29.5/70. It's probably still a little slow but not 17fps

[@LetThemGrow]

Exactly.

[@kellenpucher2849]

Interesting, Inside Out Precision also tested at exactly 30", 70 lbs, 360 grain arrow, including a peep and string dampeners, and he also got 325 fps.

[@waynestevenson9613]

Should have ckd the bow’s draw poundage and twisted up the cables to meet A to A. Would prolly been much closer to speed 🤷🏽‍♂️ I hope you do the new Highline review soon! Love your reviews! Best out there!

[@SNAGEMNTAG3M]

Ok ok posing with the bows got me rolling over here hahaha

[@randyschuller3888]

I like your reviews and can appreciate the honesty of your opinions. One thing that I have to question is your chrono, it seems as if it reads consistently low on every bow you review. Is there any bows that hit the advertised speeds through that chrono?

[@cowpunchin80]

Sweetest bow I have pulled back in a while!

[@jessephillips1554]

I shot it today & I could not agree more with your assessment. My RX-5 last year was sold right after I bought it. This bow feels & Sounds a lot better than my PSE Levitate just wish it was a little faster.

[@jackhammer0925]

I’ve got a levitate also. I’d keep that over this one honestly.

[@markojosic1]

Why is everyone complaining about prices Everything is going up this days. I'm in construction buisiness working with metals. This year alone material went up 50%. Don't expect to pay same as last year. Especially carbon bow.

[@cjr4497]

I would love to see the difference FMJJ gets outdoors on a sunny day with his chronograph vs in his shop. Lighting affects these things greatly. He seems to get slower speeds than other reviewers.

[@HuntEthical]

How does lighting affect it?

[@98blower17]

​@@HuntEthicaldo you not realize that almost all chronos have lighting setup on them? They use reflection of artificial lighting to measure the speed... They can be manipulated so bad indoors, and seem to have more accurate readings outside. No 2 chronographs will read the same for the most part. With that being said him keeping his in the same spot using the same lighting effects you can compare bows with each other.

[@jsienesi]

Would the fact it’s long on the axel to axel mean that if you twisted the main string up to bring it into speck you might get more juice/speed out of it? And is that what you would recommend doing to bring a bow that’s out like that back in?

[@bowfreak9176]

I am assuming you were shooting the #3 cam in the 30" draw position. No way that the #2 cam maxed out in draw would be that slow. I can 100% believe the #3 cam at 30" being that slow.

[@brucescott7023]

Just wondering do you check the draw weight before your reviews, I've watch other reviews and sometimes the bow comes out of the box as low is 67lbs. Still awesome stuff thank you for sharing 👍👍

[@joshjones6862]

Yes, this bow was at 72.3#

[@TORREX-A.D.]

@@joshjones6862 ibo is 80#@30 I thought? Or is it 70.

[@Str8powder]

@@TORREX-A.D. 70

[@jwild5360]

@@TORREX-A.D. your correct ibo is NOT 70 pounds and 30 inches of draw length. Which is why he is not getting the speeds he thinks he should be getting. Ibo is 5 grains per inch up to 80lbs with a 2 pound variance and here’s the kicker “no specified draw length” this is why they can advertise these speeds. Technically speaking it is perfectly acceptable for IBO speed to be tested with a 400 grain arrow at 82 pounds at 32 inches of draw length. Or 31. Or 34. Or whatever length they choose to test from. ATA speeds are 70 30 and 350 grains. With a 0.2lb variance. And draw length of + 1/4. So 350 grains 70.2 lbs and 30.25 inches of draw is the max they can test under. Hoyt does list ATA speeds rather than ibo though.

[@aldoraine9259]

@@TORREX-A.D. Don't listen to Jared. IBO is a 400 grain arrow, 80#(+/-2#), no specific draw length. If you don't believe me, it can be searched. This is how Manufactures inflate the numbers.

Well Karen, this bow was at 72.3# and I went back and measured the draw and its about 1/4" long of 30". I sell these products so you can bet I don't want them to look bad. My reviews are as honest and fair as you can get

[@jesusmendoza4810]

Can you do the hoyt rx7 twin turbo please!

[@alexriggs2307]

According to google, IBO speeds are obtained by an #80 draw weight, max draw length, and a 400 grain arrow. Ata speeds are the #70, 30, 350.

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

I believe they also have an acception of : -2#/+2# on draw weight & a -2gr/+2gr on the arrows..... So a 348gr arrow with 82# bow

[@ApexPredatorOutdoors]

I debated Hoyt in the comments of their YT video. This bow shows a bit of change and definite improvement, but the aluminum bows seem to be basically identical. They keep getting more and more expensive, and don't really give that much more feature wise.

[@naturalstatehunter5591]

Josh- what are the draw length on the two modules? I’m at a 28.5. You said the regular rx7 has a module that begins at 28.5 so it would be quite a bit slower than on the 30”

[@the4thamigo]

I've had to get an rx7 module 2 and an ultra module 3 to swap the modules over to get a rx7 ultra with a number 2 module. Unbelievable mess about getting what I need in the uk but im curious do you think this may not work? I mean it's still a hbx pro cam and I cant see any discrepancies between the rx7 and the rx7 ultra when trying to just buy a separate module. This should work right? But the draw length range is different between the mod 2 rx7 and the mod 2 ultra. So I am gtn a bit concerned

[@americanbigfoot7881]

Good review and fan of channel but idk what he’s been doing but his numbers are low. I’ve seen the rx7 ultra shoot a 408gr at 328 at 80# and I’ve seen multiple 70# setups get close to listed IBO rating. One big factor could be he stated it was out of spec at 34-1/4 and assuming he didn’t correct it or could just be his chrono. As others mentioned he’s always low compared to others and what I’ve seen in person. I will say unbiasedly that I had the V3X and the Ventum Pro and the Ventum pro feels HEAVY, so with the stock mini stabilizer he might actually be on point with the weight

[@MegaBastt]

The weight of that blows me away, even saying they aren't including the little knob. I mean for a carbon bow coming in at 5lbs. Jamon.

[@joshuabates4759]

@@jasonnester9514 the way Hoyt let off is changed means the higher let off setting allows the cam to rotate slightly further, thereby loading more energy into the system.
