Hoyt Defiant Target

The Hoyt Defiant is a bow that will suit any hunting situation, at only 30.5 inches axle to axle it is very maneuverable without losing accuracy.

The brand new Ultra Flex limb system is Hoyt's toughest and most efficient limb yet, creating a bomb-proof and super reliable bow.

Cranking out a true ATA speed of 331, while remaining silky smooth with zero hand shock after the shot is an awesome trait of the Defiant. When the Ultra Flex Limbs are combined with the all new DFX Cam and a Half system the limbs and cams work together to create an optimum shooting machine.

At full draw, this system creates a longer axle to axle which allows for better head position and a more stable shooting platform.

Although the Defiant is only 30.5 inches axle to axle, it aims like a 35 inch bow because of the way the Ultra Flex Limbs synchronise with the DFX Cam system.

With the dual cable stop system, the back wall is more solid than ever, creating a draw cycle that is extremely smooth yet not spongy at the back wall.

If the dual cable stops aren't quite solid enough, install the optional limb stop to create a back wall that is so incredibly solid it simply won't budge.

The 2016 Defiant is like a Nitrum on steroids. Upgraded with new cams, limbs, pockets an overall design that will defy all odds.

You are bowhunting bred. Born to defy all odds. Born to defy expectations.

The new Ultra Flex Limb system. Utilises entire length of limb, for increased efficiency, through our patent-pending pivoting pocket design. Past-parallel design creates less limb movement, resulting in a quiet, vibration-free shot.

New DFX Cam Technology maximises effective string angle, creating a longer axle-to-axle at full draw, increasing accuracy and stability; encourages a more comfortable and accurate head position; gives the manoeuvrability benefits of a short bow in your ground blind or tree stand, while providing the advantages of a longer axle-to-axle bow; DFX Cam design creates less limb movement, resulting in a quiet, vibration-free shot.

DFX Cam optimises peep position, creating a more direct string angle and brings the peep closer to your eye, increasing peep-to-sight distance and maximising accuracy.

DFX Cam allows a more comfortable and consistent anchor and alignment; eliminates 'head tilt' at anchor, by bringing the string to your nose, promoting proper head position and form. Reduced facial contact and string pressure results in more accurate and consistent arrow flight.

DFX Cam features optional limb stop for those seeking an even stiffer back wall experience than already afforded by the new dual cable stops, the DFX cams also come with a limb stop option. If you are after that zero-play feeling at full draw, the first-ever optional limb stop brings a new definition of rock-solid rigidity to the Hoyt back wall.

Effective string position at full draw. Head position is vital to the consistency and accuracy of your shot. The new UltraFlex Limb and DFX Cam systems work together to deliver a dramatically broader string angle, an increased full-draw axle-to-axle measurement and a more optimal peep position. These innovations allow a more relaxed, strain-free posture at full draw and reduce facial contact, string pressure and eye fatigue at anchor.

The result is a 2016 30.5-inch bow that feels and performs like last year's 34-inch equivalent. Yes, you read that right, your compact tree stand or ground blind bow will feel and perform like a stable and forgiving 34-inch bow and your 34-inch bow will perform like a 37-inch target dream bow. If the numbers don't convince you, your experience at full-draw and your tightened arrow groups will.
