Hoyt Concept X 40

The 2025 Hoyt Concept X Compound Bow represents a groundbreaking advancement in the world of target archery. Built on decades of engineering expertise and extensive feedback from professional archers, this bow embodies Hoyt's commitment to pushing the boundaries of precision, speed, and customisability. Designed for elite competitors, the Concept X offers the perfect combination of high performance and innovative technology, setting a new standard for what target bows can achieve.

The bow is available in 3 models, the Concept X 40, Concept X 37 and Concept FX, each optimised for different shooting styles and preferences. These models are tailored for archers who demand not just exceptional speed but also superior control and stability during competition. From its cutting-edge SCTR cam system to its TXL limb technology, every component of the Concept X has been meticulously designed to enhance an archer's performance on the range.

Whether you're an advanced competitor or a precision-focused archer aiming for the next level, the Concept X's lightweight design, precise tuning capabilities, and customisable features ensure a superior shooting experience. Hoyt's adherence to ATA testing standards also guarantees that the bow's speed and performance are as accurate and reliable as promised, giving you the confidence to compete at your best.

With the Concept X, Hoyt has not only delivered a bow that meets the rigorous demands of today's competitive archers but has also created a platform that allows for extensive personalisation, so each shooter can fine-tune their bow to their specific preferences. This bow is engineered to outperform in every facet, providing both seasoned competitors and aspiring champions with the tools they need to dominate the target field.

Key Features

Longer Riser Design - the Concept X 40 features a riser that is 1.75 inches longer than the Stratos 40. Although both Concept X models share the same axle-to-axle length as their Stratos counterparts, the extended riser design of the Concept X significantly enhances in-hand stability. Additionally, the combination of limb flex and cam size plays a crucial role in determining the string angle, which directly impacts the bow's feel during the draw and at full draw, contributing to overall shooting comfort and precision.

Top Speed & Performance engineered for speed, with the X 40 reaching up to 327 fps, making it the fastest target bow ever produced by Hoyt. The bow's speed is validated using the ATA speed guidelines, which are more rigorous and realistic compared to IBO standards used by other manufacturers. This ensures that archers get speed figures closer to what they will experience in actual competitions.

SCTR Cam System - Sector cam system is designed for both performance and customisation. The new CAM system offers a high string tension for enhanced power delivery. Adjustable wall firmness to allow archers to tailor the feel of the bow at full draw, giving flexibility in terms of how stiff or soft the bow feels. Let-off customisation between 65%-75%. For more advanced users, the optional "Tweener Mod Foot" allows even more precise tuning, with options for 67.5%-72.5%-77.5% let-off. Rotational Torque Resistance - a key innovation, reducing the cam twist and maintaining bow alignment at full draw. This feature aids in smoother, more consistent shots, particularly in high-stress competition settings.

SCTR CDM & Spec Mod Systems - Hoyt introduces a spacer based tuning system that allows archers to make micro adjustments to correct issues such as left or right paper tears. This precision tuning ensures better arrow flight and overall shot accuracy. The CDM mod system offers a 3 inch draw length range adjustment and the Spec mods provide performance consistency across different draw lengths, accommodating a wide range of archer preferences. Archers can fine tune the bow's performance with ease, making adjustments on both the top and bottom cams, further enhancing shot consistency.

Harness Specs - the SCTR cam system is paired with a 5 piece harness that includes Hoyt WireWRX strings and cables. These are the result of a two year development process and a significant investment in cutting edge string making technology specifically designed by Hoyt engineers. These WireWRX strings are an integral part of the bow's overall system, engineered to optimise Hoyt bows for peak performance. Built for maximum speed, precision tuning and minimal noise and vibration, the WireWRX strings ensure that your Hoyt bow is competition ready right out of the box.

TXL Limb are the most torsionally stiff limbs Hoyt has ever built. This added stiffness improves shot consistency by reducing limb movement during the draw cycle, enhancing the overall stability of the bow. Combined with the SCTR cam system, the TXL limbs contribute to the Concept X's superior performance.

Weight & Stabilisation - one of the standout features of the Concept X is its lightweight design. It is approximately 0.2 pounds or 90.72 grams lighter than Hoyt's Stratos model, yet benefits from a longer, stiffer riser and more torsionally stable limbs. This weight reduction enhances the stabilisation system, where the bow's balance is optimised for better aiming patterns. Additionally, the stabiliser mounting points are positioned to drop the centre of gravity, resulting in improved steadiness in the archer's hand. Archers can choose between a traditional stabiliser location and a low CG mounting point, giving flexibility depending on shooting conditions like flat terrain or angled shots in field archery.

Bow Alignment - Hoyt's comprehensive testing of dynamic bow alignment found that the Concept X outperformed other top target bows in reducing rotational translation. This ensures more natural aiming at full draw, with minimal horizontal nock travel and no need for grip adjustments. It excels in maintaining smooth bow-to-target alignment throughout the shot, improving tunability across different arrow types. Its design also makes it more comfortable to hold on varied terrain, delivering a forgiving, low stress shooting experience for more consistent X's. Bow Grip for comfort, forgiveness & accuracy, you select a grip angle that feels & performs the best for you.

Reduced Vibration & Noise - The Concept X is Hoyt's quietest target bow to date, reducing sound by 27% compared to the Stratos model. Vibration has also been significantly cut by 35%, making for a smoother, more comfortable shooting experience. Despite the noise and vibration reductions, the bow still provides archers with critical feedback during the shot cycle, ensuring that they remain aware of their form and shot execution without the discomfort of excessive vibrations.
