Hoyt xact riser1/3/2023 ![]() ![]() I also had the chance to test out the pair with the latest 25″ Hoyt Arcos riser, to see how their performance compares with the ‘Earl Hoyt geometry’ in my hands. Due to current restrictions in range access I have tested the pair with what I had at my disposal: a 25m distance in my garden, against my barebow set-up: a barebow 25″ Gillo G1 riser and a set of Uukha EX1 Evo2 limbs of slightly higher poundage. HOYT XACT RISER SERIESOn test was a set of medium 38lbs Xakt limbs, a match to the entry level Xakt riser, released this year as part of Hoyt’s latest addition to their Grand Prix Series line. Hoyt however demonstrates some clever marketing and design to promote future brand loyalty. I know that appearances aren’t everything, but I think that it is important to note that novices do want their first equipment to look good (just like the ‘pros’) and many beginner/intermediate limbs come in very unappealing colours and (for me) unnecessarily busy designs. ![]() The tip of the limb is thin and sharp, but chunky, creating a safe and deep string groove – definitely a bonus for novices who may still struggle with their stringing. The outer limb fitting screw comes in matt black, which adds to the classy appearance of the limb. The wood core wedge and the width of the limb at the base matched the profile of my Uukhas. The limb felt light and had a slim, thin body. An excellent and tasteful design with a soft matt finish which gives the product an ‘expensive’ look and feels good in the hands. First impressions matter, and these are a striking-looking pair of limbs indeed. ![]()
