RX-1 Ultra Draw Weight

[LDJ]

I bought a Hoyt RX-1 Ultra this year with 80 lb draw weight. Love the bow but Last week I put it on 2 different scales to check the draw weight and both are showing peak weight to be 76 lbs. I've always heard that Hoyts usually draw a little over advertised weight. It surprised me to be under by 4 lbs. Axle to axle is correct at 35". Is this normal?

My 70lb Rx-1 pulled 73lb and my 75 lb custom shop is 79lb

Limb bolts maxed out?

Just checked the limb bolts and was able to get a quarter turn on them. That brought it up to 78. I would have thought they were bottomed out from the factory.

You can twist the yoke legs and up the poundage.

The drawing over isn't as much the case any more. What is the DL and ATA versus spec?

Are we no longer supposed to twist up the bottom of the buss cable with the floating yoke?

Correct, just the legs

mine was at 78 as well, got it to 80 when I replaced the strings and cables and put everything into spec.

Thanks for the feed back. I will try some of these things an see if I can get it up a little more

My 70 lb. ultra came in at 72 lbs.

Is it possible that the cam and the draw length position on the cam will cause this?

 

[Brendan]

No.

JMez posted it above, but your buss cable is probably too short and needs to be twisted up to shorten. Equal twists in both legs - 8 max I think?

 

[LDJ]

Thanks

Also - that affects cam timing. Would need to bring the draw weight up using the buss, and then add twists to the control to make sure draw stops hit at the same time.

I've done this on every Hoyt I've owned so far.
