Top Features of the RX-7 & Ventum Pro Series
New upgrades and improvements for 2022 take things to the next level for Hoyt to deliver a greater shooting experience. You’ll see it in the way accessories are mounted to the bow, as well as the improved HBX Pro cam.
Picatinny Sight Mount
Hoyt’s exclusive Picatinny Rail Mounting System—which was introduced in 2021—is now even more streamlined. Instead of including the Picatinny attachment, Hoyt machined the Pic Rail into the riser itself. The Picatinny Sight Mount keeps the weight of your sight off the side of your bow, putting it all in-line with the riser for better balance, less weight, and greater stability.
HBX Pro Cam
The HBX Pro Cam is an enhanced upgrade of its wildly popular HBX predecessor. It has an improved vibration profile, is even smoother than Hoyt’s past cam system, weighs less, is easier to tune, and creates a better center shot and enhanced sight picture. This refined, smooth-shooting design comes with two different modules to maintain optimal performance no matter your draw length.
Adjustable Quiver Mount
One of the biggest burdens in achieving perfect bow balance for your hunting rig is your quiver weight and location. The weight, size, and location of the quiver can greatly affect the overall balance of the bow. Now with Hoyt’s Superlite adjustable quivers, you can get insanely close to your riser, especially when using in conjunction with an Integrate rest and Pic Rail In-Line sight. Hoyt’s easily adjustable quiver system gives you free rein to tailor your overall setup to your liking and obtain optimal bow balance.
Integrate Mounting System
One of our most tried and true In-Line features is the Integrate Rest Mounting System. The dovetail mount is machined into the bow, directly in-line with the riser. This allows for a lighter weight rest that doesn’t add extra bulk to the side of your bow and adds unmatched lock-down strength and uncompromising performance.
Short Stop Stabilizer
By lowering the stabilizer location on the bow, Hoyt lowered the bow’s center of gravity. This creates a steadier, more effective hold without having to add a beefy, heavy stabilizer that’s just going to add excess weight to your setup. With the attachment point farther forward, the 2-inch Short Stop Stabilizer in this location has the same effectiveness as a 6-inch stabilizer in the traditional mounting location. Hoyt is so confident in this system, they include the stabilizer with each Carbon RX-7 and Ventum Pro they send out.
SL SIDEBAR ATTACHMENT
Hoyt also improved the effectiveness of a sidebar by lowering the mounting location, thus lowering the center of gravity. The SL Sidebar Attachment is engineered to sit in-line with the riser, just like the rest of Hoyt’s accessory systems. When paired with the new SL Sidebar Mount you get less bulk, less weight, less obtrusion, more stabilization, and a more streamlined attachment system for your sidebar.
