This is the new 2026 Hoyt AX3 29 There is a lot to unpack with this new AX3 This is the 29-inch
Axle-to-axle The new XTS system on the limppocket makes your tuning so much easier
Help me with your micro-tuning adjustments and this AX3 riser is completely new This is a
brand new design We are going to add this to her spaces and we will see what it does
There is a variation but first we will go through the specifics This is a 29.5-inch axle-to-axel
6 and a 3.8 flight height The ATA speed on this course is 340 feet per second We have this course
Exactly 30 inches We have set this a bit more than 70 pounds The AX3 comes in various
The model this is the 29-inch wheelbase You get the short version that goes all the way to 23
The short one goes up to 24 inches and the long one goes all the way to 33 inches I chose the short axle-to-axle
I love the 29-inch wheelbase It feels great when it's spinning at full speed
This is an axle-to-axel of 29.5 inches The ride height is 6 and 3.8 and the ATA speed is
340 feet per second but remember that the ATA speed is set at 30 inches
70 pound with a 350 green height The swing length options in this boot are 25 inches
Up to 30 inches and you can and you have that travel height income that goes up to 40
Up to 80 pounds but remember that this is only for 10 pounds of income In other words
When you get a bad headache is this a 40-50 50-60 etc A bad headache is a maximum of 70 pounds
Let's go over some things that are the same as 2025 the HBX Gen 4 cam it was really
By 2025 especially at short travel heights We have tested this thoroughly with the 28 and 29 inch travel heights
We really saw a significant increase in speed at that cruising altitude The HBX Cam is the same
It is an excellent travel height you can adjust it from 75 to 85% and the adjustment
It is really easy to use the modules without needing to use a spell The tricks
The wheel works again it's still the same and the glue is the same The new version for
The HBX Gen 4 Cam is the XTS the exact adjustment system The ride height is completely new with a new design
The vibration on the seat has a certain softening at the peak of the ride
A nice tender it's really glassy and I see another roller furling arm with a wire
In het I don't know if there will be any kind of attraction but I expect something
o come out a bit later The HBX Gen 4 Cam is a system that will help you
It's easier to be angry with a short travel height And what I mean is
ose times when the short ride height is fully charged
Change a lot so a 29-tooth rear wheel can change from 29
Beet root height up to almost 26 and sometimes 25 beet root heights
What makes the fishing rod extremely sharp With the HBX system when you get to full tension
Will this 29 000-foot altitude sickness give you a feeling very close to high altitude sickness
From 33 feet high and let me show you why Although the ball is in a static position
The maximum height is 29.5 cm you can see that
While we are on the subject it is important to first check the news on that matter
And this is exactly on time The top and bottom cables test the bus cables
at the same time and I also want to check the high-high long travel and if the high-high long travel
To measure I have here the altitude cable this is the wire of the altitude
but this is more than 28.5 I would say it is 28 and 3.8 so if you
The reach height long wants to measure is it the measurement plus 1 and 3.25
This ride height is currently measured at 30 and 8 inches so very close to 30 inches
According to the specifications very precise from that case so I am very happy with this
e reason why it is important to measure the real travel height is that you can determine the actual clearance
What is the speed of the cruising altitude the higher the cruising altitude the faster the speed
With this ride height being so close to 30 inches it will give us a precious speed
We had the travel height set to a clear 30 inches during the entire trip and during the entire trip the travel height was
Here is 26 and a half so it is actually 3 inches away from that static position
but what is important and what I told you about the HBX system if you
Check the actual maximum height is that maximum height at 12 o'clock and if I check the actual maximum height of
e carry-on height gives you a feeling of a 32-inch carry-on so the carry-on height is
Not as sensitive as it would be on some of those extremely short travel heights
e XTS is the exact ride height system I have done a deep dive into this XTS system o
In a previous YouTube video you can click the link below and it will take you to the video
But I want to know a bit more about how it works the XTS system is an easy way
To micro-tune your ride height if you get more than one inch of ride height you will wa
Don't start with XTS use you must do macro development on your rest and have
The cams are micro-adjusted then you can start with the XTS system how much travel height reacts
With your travel height set to a center shot of 3 16 of an inch with your travel heig
It is delivered with your travel height the XTS system will not only close the horizontal travel height
It also closes the vertical reach which is what the exact reach system looks like
You can clearly see that the indications are there at that flight altitude
these are the shuttle locks and this does not increase the tension
e small holes in it there are the shuttle bolts and by increasing the tension
If the tension at the ride height increases by increasing the tension the tension at the ride height will increase
crease and now you know what the XTS system looks like let me show you one realistic
case when you have a high travel height all you need to do is to lift the top and
Lower the locks you increase the tension on the upper XTS pocket which in essence
What type of strike from the top belt to take and you take the strike on the bottom XTS
Increasing the system pressure by making only a quarter or half a tur
On the XTS system you will certainly notice a change in the ride height itself
Let's say you have a link there how would you change it the strike and the knoc
It is on the left and it is important to remember that you must meet the key from the front
They will increase the tension on the upper left belt pocket and the lower left belt pocket
You will lose the cruising altitude and the lower cruising altitude which is important to remember
What you do on the left side you must do the same on the right side but in the opposite direction
Do you remember that this video is not a deep dive into how the XTS system works
Did I make a video about this before so don't forget to go and watch it this is
A video that I made the week before it just goes through the AX3
They are talking about a chronograph with a 350 green travel height and a 500 green travel height
and a 650 green cruise altitude which gives you a good indication of the speed you can expect from the key
s this is a 350 green takeoff height the takeoff height measurement at 70.8 pounds the takeoff height of
This maximum height is 30 and 8 we will set this maximum height on the chronograph and we hope
o reach a speed of almost 340 feet per second when that speed is given by weight
342.9 feet per second that is fantastic the selling speed is 340 feet per second
We have a nose clip we have a beep we have static sounds we have the loop
I had actually expected this flight altitude to be less than 340 feet
But even more improved that's great and fantastic speed let's take a 500 green altitude
Shoot the chronograph see what that gives us this flight altitude is very close to 500 green
The exact weight at this altitude is 498.5 green 293.5 feet per second 293.5 feet per
Second from a 30-foot bow in my opinion with a 500 green height that's great specks
This can really work well on a 28-foot bow 29-foot bow so even for that short draw height
This will be an option certainly to watch this travel height weighs 651 green
We are going to shoot this this is an extremely high altitude not many people shoot at 650 green altitude
Many people usually shoot the 500 green height in that area and
Traveling at close to 300 feet per second in my opinion this is great the 650 green altitude
259 2 I'm really impressed with that speed and something I think I don'
I didn't realize how little that vibration in my hand was how much it had changed
It is at this flight altitude and has seen a 13% reduction in vibration with this and with all flight altitudes
what I have done with this altitude setting in the store I can I mean the altitude setting
Still standing and there's not much vibration at this altitude this is really fun to feel
That the climbing height is really offered and there is always a step in the right direction and
This positive change is being made I take the AX3 29 and the RX10 Ultra at the travel height
My next video and I will shoot the elevation all the way from 350 all the way up to 1100
The peak height of point blank range all the way to 50 yards to see how efficie
This is real riding height remember to watch the video when it comes out
Make sure to go to your vehicle shoot the AX3 shoot the RX10 height
If you haven't made any changes maybe it's time for a change this travel height is fantastic
This gives great changes in my opinion for that short travel height of 28 to 29
I don't think there's a better change boat at that ride height than the AX3 or the RX10
This is a clear story to tell but maybe I'm a bit biased leave a comment below
If the boat is changing or the boat you are changing is going to make thank you for watching
