The Hoyt Axius Alpha is a sleek, fast, efficient bow. At 29 ½ inches, it’s the shortest axle-to-axle bow from Hoyt to date. Perfect for run-and-gun elk hunts, this bow is light and maneuverable. A tough draw-cycle and short riser can make this bow is a little more difficult to shoot. But with a solid back wall, reduced noise and vibration we put the Hoyt Axius in the top class of 2021 compound bows. Combine this bow with cool accessories such as a hunting stabilizer or target stabilizer for target shooters.

The Prime Black Series compound bows are known as “The Most Accurate Bows on the Planet”. While this is a hard title to win, the Prime Black 5 certainly in the running. Featuring a solid back wall for a lightning-fast draw cycle, balanced grip position and Centergy Advanced Technology for a steadier hold, and the new ROTO cam system has a self-contained module for easy adjustment of the draw length and let-off of the bow in ½ inch increments without a press. Beautiful to look at, but can be on the bulky side for some with the two cams on each axle, along with a long axle to axle measurement. The size of this bow may stand out, but its performance is undeniable. A large bow can increase accuracy but will be hard to handle for some, to ensure your arrow is hitting it's target try a hunting rest, or target rest for maximum performance.
