HOYT Concept X 40 - 40-70 lbs - Compound bow
The HOYT Concept X 37 and 40 are exactly what archers expect from HOYT: an extraordinary piece of technology. With a riser, limb system and cam system designed to complement each other, the Concept X provides archers with an extremely stable foundation for pursuing perfection in the sport of compound archery.
Starting with a riser that minimises rotation, a limb system that is the most torsionally stable HOYT has ever designed, and SCTR Cams – the culmination of two decades of HOYT Cam & 1/2 and HB Cam systems – all wrapped into one. Concept X raises the standards you've come to expect from HOYT.
A better grip for a higher standard
Concept X carries the torch of HOYT's proven Modular Grip System. This patented design allows the archer to choose between 0 (standard), 4 or 8 degree angled grip plates. In addition, there is a thicker version of each grip plate that reduces the draw length by 1/8 inch, allowing the archer to fine-tune the draw length without changing the fine-tuning of the bow.
A winning feel right out of the box.
HOYT conducted an extensive study on dynamic bow alignment to improve the natural accuracy of their latest, top-of-the-range compound bows. The tests showed that the Concept X has the lowest rotational transfer of all the bows tested by all the major manufacturers. This gives the archer a bow that is more naturally aligned at full draw length and has less horizontal cam movement when returning to the drawn position. The Concept X helps archers maintain a natural bow alignment to the target without changing hand position or creating forces that counter the archer's natural aiming pattern throughout the draw length and shot.
The orientation of the bow at Draw length, throughout the entire shot process, and the way the bow drives the arrow nock through the shot cycle, has greatly improved tunability across different Spines and diameters. Concept X is more natural to hold when shooting uphill and downhill and is inherently less prone to negative influences.
SCTR Cam system
The SCTR Cam system combines the best of HOYT Cam and 1/2 technology with modern HOYT HB Cam systems to deliver a shooting system that improves the shooting experience in every way. The SCTR Cam system takes characteristics from one of their most successful SVX Cam systems and improves performance with finely tuned ‘feel settings’ that shooters can easily make. A larger, stronger and stiffer 1/4-inch threaded axle system stiffens the overall system, extends the life of the cam bearings and works with TXL limbs to achieve maximum performance and efficiency while maintaining maximum stability. It is also quieter and shoots with far less vibration.
TXL limbs – The driving force behind Concept X
The new TXL limb has been designed to work in harmony with the new SCTR cam system. By developing it as an overall system, HOYT has created the most efficient and stable limb it has ever built.
- Highest torsional stability of all HOYT target limbs
- Shortest HOYT target limb
- Length and bending profile optimised for the SCTR Cam system
- Improves efficiency, shooting experience and string angle
Fresh colours for a new concept
All the classics are available, along with some funky new additions, including the colour-changing Skeeter and Blue on Black. Also available in matte powder coat colours such as Blackout, Bourbon, Tombstone and Wilderness. Limb options include satin black, gloss white and gloss black.
More highlights of the Concept X
- Longest HOYT handle ever. Almost 7.6 cm longer than the HOYT Stratos.
- Lowest rotation translation of all HOYT Target bows. This means better tuning across different arrow spine widths and diameters and more fault tolerance for the archer.
- SCTR-Cam system: Drag Race speeds with the ultimate in adjustability at full draw – perfect adjustment of draw length, draw weight and valley.
- New CDM-Mods: Maximum efficiency via a rotating, adjustable module.
- New SPEC-Mods: Ultimate performance with sophisticated specifications and pull length adjustments of +/- 0.25 inches

Right-handed or left-handed?
Determination of the draw hand
The draw hand is the hand that pulls the string. This means that a right-handed bow is held in the left hand and drawn with the right hand.
Determining your personal draw hand has far less to do with whether you are left-handed or right-handed than you might initially assume. It is much more about determining the dominant eye. The dominant eye is used for aiming. This then automatically results in the draw hand.
The term dominant eye refers to the eye whose visual information is superimposed on everything. If a shooter tried to aim with the other eye, he would have to close the dominant eye.
There are two ways of determining the dominant eye: On the one hand, it is the eye that is generally favoured, for example when looking through the viewfinder of a camera, through the peephole or similar situations. On the other hand, there is a small exercise that can be used to determine the dominant eye beyond doubt:
- The arms are stretched out and a triangle is formed with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands.
- A small target is aimed at through the triangle, for example a socket or a cupboard knob. Focus on this object.
- The hands are now slowly brought towards the face without taking the target object out of focus.
- The triangle of thumb and index fingers will involuntarily tend towards one side of the face and this is where the dominant eye is located.
If the dominance of the eye and hand do not match, the bow should still be selected according to eye dominance. The arms can be easily retrained for the new draw hand, but not the eye.
