Each year the new release bows are waited on with a great deal of anticipation and the 2010 bows were no exception. The fact that the company produced a bow, the Hoyt Carbon Matrix, that it hopes will change the face of the industry has possibly divided opinion somewhat, but then, that’s what innovation is meant to do.

One of the company’s most popular hunting bows over the last few years has been the Alphamax. This bow is available in two configurations, the Alphamax 32 and the Alphamax 35 with the difference being the length of the bow from axle to axle. These bows are lightweight and are equipped with a modular adjustable cam using the company’s cam and half technology. Essentially the bow was made with the hunter specifically in mind. The new breed of compound bows from Hoyt has replaced the Alphamax bows with the Maxxis 31 and the Maxxis 35.
