Hoyt RX10 Ultra – First Impressions, Tuning & Performance
Comments are disabled for this video.
This is the new 2026 Hoyt RX10 Ultra For 2026 Hoyt has made several major changes
Improvements made based on previous year's models I'm curious to open the box
o see what they have done I have the bow in the wild color
This is the RX10 Ultra You can see that it is more rugged
Limpacket is this and this is the XTS exact adjustment system and we will use this
A bit later in the picture but this is what I think everyone believes
They asked for an easy way to micro-tune your box
On the campsite side is the HBX Gen 4 The roller control here shows a
A bit different from the 25 model I can see something
is going to happen that we can be part of here
Screws Of course the alignment system is exactly the same
Let's get this box and dive into the specks on the box
The RX10 is available in four different configurations
You have the RX10 SD the short wheelbase version
It is from 23 inches to 27 inches with the
HBX cam The speed of that SD is 310 feet per second but remember tha
He who is a master of a 27-inch turn So this
is blisteringly fast for the short turn version
The RX10 is a 342 ATA configuration The HBX cam is available for you
from 25 inches to 30 inches It is 30 5 inches
tall a box on top and 6.75 inches at counter height
Of course a nice box for most men nice and small and compact
The RX10 Ultra platform has a long-range version called the RX10 Ultra LD
This ATA speed is 355 feet per second
This will work on a 33-inch turntable The
camera setting will be available from 31.25 to 33
The peak height is 7.5 inches and the box on
box will be 33.5 inches Then the RX10 Ultra
My choice for 2026 An ATA speed of 340 feet per second
It has a height of 6.75 and a box-on-box length of 33.5
The cam can relax from 26 inches to 31 inches
And the box setting on box will be from 40 pounds to 80 pounds
In 10 pounds relax The most exciting thing for 2026 is
Clearly the XDS system A simple way to relax your box
But first let's take a run on the box because I want to check
the poundage and if it's set to 70 and the specifications
Exactly out of the box I have determined the whistle and the run
I'm going to check the weight It should be 70 pounds it's out of the
box we haven't changed anything so it's always important for me to
To know that the boxes are exactly as they come out of the box
That is 71.6 pounds It's nice to see that the box is
just over 70 pounds From the box nothing has changed
Do I want to check if this is 29 inches and while we add it go
We will check the timing The box is now running at full speed
First I want to check the actual gear setting
This box from the box is 29 and 8 That's good for
me from the box With my dial setting at 29 inches
As it is here I expect this box to be about 10 feet per second
The longer you are the more you want for every inch you are shorter than 30 inches
It loses 10 feet per second This box with an ATR of 340
I need to hit a 350 green ball at about 350
feet per second Check the spin setting now
We were running the wooden scooter at full speed I checked the timing
I immediately saw that both modules had the cables on the
Touch the same time Outside the box it's nice to see
that the timing is in The box is 29 inches and the box is
Actually I'm aware I place on the Hamske Hybrid Hunter
Pro micro-adjustable rest and the site I'm going to use is
Let's go with the Spottok Boonie with a daftaal movement five pins
A nice addition that I like is the GoStix
2.0 and I pair it with a weight stabilizer 10
8 inches in the front 8 inches at the back
The box is sealed everything is on I don't want to wait any longer
I want to shoot the box and get a feel for it and my first
impression of the new RX10 Ultra It has a nice feel nice
Solid wall like I'm used to nice power source
We all know this box vibrates a lot but it feels soft
in the hand This is such a nice box and the sound is so
Something I suggest you do is go to your pro shop
and just shoot to feel what the ball feels like
The door is in the corner to shoot asylum to asylum
I am just going to quickly show an opinion with
being in the static position that is 33.5 inches before
They turned the box This box is now fully turned
You can see on the timing markets that everything is in and everything is good
I just want to be careful here So with this box here
you can see that it's about 31 inches from side to side
But what I want to show what I believe is very
important is when the box is completely turned
You can see that the real fishing lure is
located right at the top at 12 o'clock on the box
At the bottom it's the same So with this box fully
rotated and just to be careful with this drawing
It gives you 36.5 inches
And why I really like this is because it gives
you a steeper platform It will be more sustainable
It will last longer 30 31 inch certainly
better And for me as a 29-inch archer
I like my piep closer to my eye I like that current
I like not going into the current itself
with a lot of pressure on my face with a very sharp streamer and
a steeper than too steep streamer and that's what's fun
I want to place this on a chronograph and this
arrow is 350 grains and with the stream angle
70 pound 29 inch draw length I expect this
arrow to shoot at about 330 feet per second
It becomes very precious about what they sell how
fast it will go I will also shoot a heavy arrow
650 grains just a little bit heavier than a regular
arrow and then my hunting arrow is 500 grains
And this is the arrow I will use for hunting
and this gives you a good idea of 350 to 650 with
with a nice 500 grains right in the middle
Something to also stop on I have the beep installed
I'm wearing my running shoes feeling the electric current
Cold so if I can get closer to 330 I will be happy
Maybe even with all that hardware or the little pieces and parts
that go on the power vibration I get something less than 330
but let's check this gives me 326.2
meters per second slightly under 330 very close to 330 meters per second is
What I expected in my opinion with all those
things on the real life setup with everything on it
You get 326 feet per second with a 350 grain arrow
It's 29 inches in my opinion that's a very nice
speed but I also want to try it with a heavier arrow
This is an Easter fully metal jacket dangerously playful
Of course the arrow is good for this bow 244 feet per
second that is with a 650 grains arrow but the arrow that I
Use it a 500 grains arrow I think this is a nice arrow
To catch the most animals I want to catch in South Africa
completely play with your smaller airplane all the way to
The wildebeest and the zebra and the eland
Let's see what this is going to be 277.7 feet per second
I like a speed that is close to 280 feet per
second the main war is that it is much easier for me
To get an actual wide airplane to certain places
Clearly with mechanical I don't feel like increasing my speed
o raise higher but with some of those specific places it is easier to
Just to tune and get better at flying around 280 feet per second
The faster the track the more obvious it is
the faster the track the more noise the more chaos
The more I think about the breadth and the speed of the plane
280 is a nice speed for me to shoot and the kinetic energy
The energy per pound on this band is 85 foot-pounds of kinetic energy
But that's a massive amount of foot-pounds of kinetic
energy but what I want to do is shoot this through paper
See how this XDS system works what's nice about the HBX
Gen 4 system and what's true to tell about the short one
drawing this system is an extremely efficient
system what we found at a setting of 28 feet
We had the same speed with a 650 green stick
versus what we had with other boards and markets
with 550 green ropes that is 28 and 29 feet
this system shoots much faster than for example the RX8
and the Alpha X models which were affordable models the Hbx Gen 4 system is
It's an efficient system do you remember before you eve
Begin paper shoot make sure the system timing is in and
you have the optimal spin and make sure there are no errors
Knock pins in a loop I have people asking me you
know that I work all day not a bullet hole what is tha
Speak look at the knuckles we have here a white candle
this is the first shot I shot
through paper with this tube
There is a small bony prominence on the left there as you can see
so you can see that the point is on the right side
What is great and fantastic is that I will not change my rest
I will not add a single pipe pressure to change
On that let's dive into the XDS system with
the shot I just took you will see that I
A little to the left in other words the slit through which the paper goes
Like this with the point on the right side the slit to the left
so with the XDS system which is important we have two
Keys on top and we have adjustment keys here
at the bottom and we have those indicator lines here
on the belt itself so it's nice that when you
adjust your settings and you don't know where
Where the home base is in the middle and that's where we're going to start
so because we have a link here we're going to
start on the left we're going to take that
Add the left key to the lintbeugel
itself and I will add lintbeugel
strengthened on the side so you will actually have
to do it downward so I will do it about a square time
given that I don't have much movement what I
need to do on paper and what is important what you
You must do the same on the right side but in the
opposite direction so I will put the strap here
Add it and you will strengthen this indicator
I'm going to strengthen it a bit I just
want it there so I'm going to strengthen it
You will not reinforce this belt approximately
something and that is the fourth time tha
I have done it I have strengthened it on the left
I have strengthened it on the right and I just hold it in the middle
Treat the top the same way you treat the
bottom so I'm going to do exactly that
Do the same to the bottom where I reinforce the
left side and I will reinforce the right side
With these small changes we will get a perfect
waistband now that I have made my changes
For my horizontal changes remember that you
can also do this for any vertical change
But I will go into the XCS system in another video at a
later stage I want to go through it by paper just to see how
It was easy to make those changes I didn't need to
make those changes I didn't need to change my rest
To make the change let's go through the paper to see
if we need to get the belt I'll go down again
I just want to make it clear that I haven't done anything wrong
but you can clearly see that it's because of that quarter-inch
of the quarter-acre garden movement I made I immediately
saw a change in that paper test so this means that this
The XDS system is really working and this is exactly
how they say it will work I took three shots you ca
See the last shot I took that the real target is
a bit higher and what I usually do is I go for it
Change my rest into something small
Such changes but because we have the XDS we
will test it and see how the XDS system works
To remove the real vertical changes and we are going
to do it now how are we going to handle the knokhoogte
Lift the knob a bit higher what we need to do
we need a little change on top
We need to add more change on top so what we
are going to do on top is add the change on the
The top side is bad so this is a very bad change
What we must do so we must immediately a quarter
Garden on this so immediately this is going
to be a quarter of a garden which is ours
We must do the same with the vertical changes
let's just do it there that's where we'll go
a quarter inch there we lost the screw on that
top and now we both have to be on that
Support it and this must deny the bad high knee
that I knee that I get on paper and there you go
There it is there's a nice cross-shaped beautiful
change where you can clearly see those keys
Compare it with the other and it was so easy to use
we started with a bad knock
Like changes and we first determined
and then we got this high knock
Then we did it perfectly it is usually influenced
by vertical change to see that you do this
Move your left and right hands in line before
starting the change and movement it's fun to just do it
Looking forward to the XDX system to see how it works
and whether it is as easy as they say giving us a fourth
I made some changes to the ribbons there's not much movement there
We made some changes to the ribbons and everything and you can see the
Seeing immediate changes on paper which is so nice to see
We took the RX10 out of the box we collected it
we wrapped it in paper and with the xdx system
In four shots we have a perfect bullet
group by slightly left slightly left to fix
A little height to confirm the XDX system works very well
which gives us the desired result which we wanted but
I am definitely making a video about the XDX system
in my next video so make sure to subscribe and that you
It is locked when this video is uploaded
I look forward to using this xdx system the most
When I do brother tuning I don't have to fiddle
with my rest and in my opinion this system
It will work very well for that purpose
I will place this RX10 Ultra at the edge of the space
Look at this masterpiece and compare it to that RX9
Ultra I've been using this RX10 Ultra all season
Do a good food test for this house
Let me know if you're all going to do the takeovers on your bow
And if you go to look at the RX10 Ultra
remember that there's also an AX3 out
With the same XDX system on the bow itself
Leave a comment below let me know what's on your mind and if you have any
