Hot PICKS
1 Mathews Vertix
Measuring 30 inches between the axles and capable of speeds up to 343 fps, the Mathews Vertix boasts the torque-reducing Engage Grip and features patentpending SwitchWeight Technology. This innovative feature allows the shooter to adjust peak draw weight with the simple change of a module. The 6-inch brace height Vertix is powered by Mathews’ legendary Crosscentric Cam system, and 3D Damping Technology dramatically reduces post-shot noise and vibration. The Vertix has a fighting weight of 4.67 pounds and a draw-length range of 26 to 30. inches, and it’s offered in peak draw weights of 60, 65, 70 and 75 pounds. MSRP: $1,099.
2 Hoyt REDWRX Carbon RX-3
Sporting a new grip that adjusts laterally to ensure picture-perfect hand placement, Hoyt’s Carbon RX-3 weighs 3.9 pounds, measures 30. inches between the axles and boasts a 6-inch brace height. The warm-to-the-touch carbon riser boosts strength and reduces residual bow oscillation while also aiding in accuracy. New ZT Pro Cams create a balanced side-to-side load via the patent-pending Split-Cable System and eliminate the need for a flexing cable guard. The StealtShot string suppressor and new Shock Pod Vibration Dampening System promise dead-in-the-hand performance.
