HOYT HOYT BOW ALPHA AX-2 29 HBX GEN4 50# RH Tombstone
DESCRIPTION Scary Speed and Unmatched Accuracy The popularity and performance of the Alpha X is back and better than ever. Introducing the Hoyt AX-2, Hoyt’s aluminum flagship hunting bow for 2025. With redesigned riser geometry, updated limbs and limb pockets, and the highly efficient HBX gen 4 module system, this bow is deadly accurate, scary light, super fast, and ultra stable. The main point of interest within the 2025 Hoyt AX-2 series is the incredible level of efficiency. The AX-2 has an FPS increase at every available poundage and draw length over the older Alpha X series, all while being lighter and containing a smoother draw cycle. This is thanks in part to the updated limbs, pockets, and riser geometry. The main thanks must go to the HBX cam, though, which contains a truly optimized module system that makes certain no energy or performance is lost in translation. The AX-2 SD series squeezes every bit of power out of each draw length and weight that it possibly can, all while being a quarter pound lighter than the legendary Alpha X series. The AX-2 29 SD is also the shortest bow that Hoyt has ever produced, but don’t let that smaller frame fool you, it shoots at distance with the big boys. Easily grouping arrows at far away targets, this aluminum framed model from Hoyt utilizes its advanced geometry, cam system, and natural point of aim to overcome issues that short A2A bows usually encounter. A fantastic choice for those Eastern whitetail treestand hunters, the integrated accessories combined with the smaller frame and lightweight design mean the Hoyt AX-2 is here to dominate the whitetail woods – and if you choose to take it out West, it’ll hold its own against the big boys out there, too. SD (Short Draw) is designed for those hunters who might require a lighter draw weight or a draw length down to 23”. Features: Short Draw system optimizes speed and tunability even at the smallest draw lengths and weights HBX Generation 4 improved module system – optimized #1 through #5 mods to ensure no performance is sacrificed at your weight/draw length Hard wall and X Hard wall features Bow is .25lbs lighter when compared to the Alpha X series Updated riser geometry for improved overall efficiency and rigidity Updated limbs and limb pocket to ensure efficiency and speed are not lost with the smoother draw Complete synergy with Hoyt accessories to make sure your system is as solid, reliable, and form-fitting as possible Natural point of aim design makes precision and ease of use easy to experience Improved 4-track tuning system allows efficient and straightforward tuning adjustment Specifications: Axle-to-Axle: 29-1/2” Brace Height: 6” Let-Off: 80% IBO Speed: 310FPS @ 27” Mass Weight: 4.1lbs Draw Length: 23” – 27” (in 1/2” increments) Draw Weight: 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 55-65, 60-70lbs Cam: Hoyt HBX Gen 4 Cam System with SD mod Dexterity: RH and LH Standard Color: Bourbon, Tombstone, Wilderness, Blackout Hunting Color: Realtree APX, Mossy Oak Bottomland, Optifade Subalpine, Optifade Elevated II, Kuiu Verde, Origin Raptor Highland, Firstlite Cerca Limb Color (available on solid colors only): Bourbon, Blackout, Wilderness, Tombstone Includes: Short Stop 2.0

Compound Bows
A compound bow is a modern vertical bow that uses cams and cables to store energy and hold a fraction of the peak draw weight at full draw, giving a bow hunter or target shooter a steady hold and higher arrow speed than a traditional bow or recurve bow. Modern compound bow models pair a machined aluminum or carbon riser with a tuned cam system, draw weights of 30 to 90+ pounds in 5 or 10 pound increments, and draw lengths adjustable in half-inch or inch steps to hit the sweet spot at full draw. Popular variations include the compound hunting bow tuned for deer hunting in the whitetail woods, target compound bows built for the range, and compound bow packages ready to shoot the day they arrive. The result is an archery compound bow that fits your build, your hand, and your bow hunt, delivering consistent accuracy at longer distances and effective range.
At Adventures Archery, we carry hunting, target, and adjustable compound bows for sale from Bear, Hoyt, Bowtech, Mission, Mathews, Elite, Diamond, PSE, and Prime. As a full-service Florida archery shop, we stock standalone bows, ready-to-hunt compound bow packages, compound bow clearance deals, and all the archery equipment and archery gear a new bow hunter needs on day one, including sights, rests, quivers, and a rear stabilizer setup.
Compound Bow Features and Construction
Hunting Compound Bows
A hunting compound bow is built shorter, lighter, and quieter for the treestand and ground blind. Axle-to-axle length runs 28 to 33 inches, and draw weights of 60 to 70 pound covers most deer setups, with 80 to 100 pound builds ready for bull elk and big game. Pair a hunting bow with an expandable broadhead for antlerless deer and a heavier build for elk.
Target Compound Bows
A target compound bow trades hunt weight for a longer axle-to-axle bow and longer brace height, giving full-draw stability and a rear stabilizer platform for a perfect shot at yards downrange. Bowtech Carbon One X and Hoyt Carbon RX-9 Target both use a longer inches axle-to-axle build for stability. Target shooters value a smooth draw cycle and rear stabilizer setup for tight groups at longer distances.
Ready-to-Hunt Packages and Adjustable Bows
An adjustable compound bow package ships with the peep sight, bow sight, rest, quiver, rear stabilizer, and D-loop installed. Bear Prowess, Legit MAXX, and Species XT ready-to-hunt packages arrive tuned by Trophy Ridge. The Diamond Prism and Mission Hammr adjust from 18 to 30-inch draw length and 5 to 70 pounds, growing with a junior compound bow shooter or new bow hunter over years.
Hunting vs. Target Compound Bows
Carbon shafts are the modern standard for hunting and most target work. They run small and micro diameters for speed, penetration, and crosswind performance, hold a consistent spine, and shrug off the abuse of field shooting. Carbon arrows are the pick for hunters, 3D archers, and anyone chasing kinetic energy and long-range accuracy.
Aluminum shafts win on value and dead-straight tolerances at a fair price. They tune easily, fly true indoors, and give new archers a forgiving, affordable shaft to learn on. Aluminum is the call for indoor target leagues, beginners, and shooters who want precision without the carbon price tag.
Top Compound Bow Brands We Carry
Bear
Bear anchors our compound bow lineup with the biggest inventory on our floor, including the Adapt 2 HP, Alaskan XT, Species XT, and Legit MAXX. Every Bear Bow ship is a ready-to-hunt package with a Trophy Ridge sight, rest, quiver, and rear stabilizer, making it a strong first compound hunting bow for a new bow hunter chasing a heavy arrow build.
Hoyt
Hoyt is the premium name on the shelf, with the 2026 RX-10 and Enduro flagships plus the Alpha AX-3 hunting line. Their HBX cam system delivers a smooth draw cycle, and the RX-10 pairs a carbon riser with the XTS Tuning System for clean paper tuning without a bow press. Hoyt is the choice for shooters chasing accuracy at effective range.
Bowtech, Mission, and Mathews
Bowtech Solution and Solution SD use DeadLock cams for repeatable accuracy from the full draw sweet spot. Mission builds the 2026 Stryde and Switch with Fast Fit cams, adjustable across a huge draw length and pound range. Mathews Atlas and the ARC line pair crosscentric cams with 3D Damping, giving hunters and target shooters the right direction on any archery shop rig.
How to Choose the Right Compound Bow
Start with your build and your hunt. Match draw length to your wingspan and draw weight to your build, keeping the bow at a full draw you can hold forthe draw seconds without shake. A 60 pound compound bow covers most whitetail hunt setups, 70 pound adds energy for a heavier arrow build, and 90 pound or 100 pound builds pair with a heavy arrow for bull elk and big game. Adult compound bow shooters and junior compound bow shooters both benefit from adjustable draw length in half-inch or inch increments.
Budget shapes the rest. Entry-level compound bow packages start around $400 as a ready-to-hunt kit with sight, rest, peep sight, quiver, and rear stabilizer installed, keeping the learning curve short. Mid-tier compound bow prices run $700 to $1,300 with tuning included at our pro shop. Flagship builds run $1,500 to $2,100 for shooters chasing every distinct advantage in cam design, riser stiffness, and shot quality.
Compound Bow FAQs
Most whitetail hunters run a 60 to 70 pound compound bow, and a 90 pound or 100 pound compound bow suits heavy arrow builds for bull elk and big game. Adult shooters pull heavier draw weight than junior shooters, and our archery shop team will fit you on a compound bow that matches your draw length and pull strength before you leave the store.
You can, but a hunting compound bow is the better tool for deer hunting. Target bows carry a longer axle-to-axle length and rear stabilizer built for a perfect shot at long yards, while hunting bows are shorter, lighter, and quieter. Most bow hunters keep a hunting rig for archery season and a target compound bow for range time.
A rest, bow sight, peep sight, D-loop, release aid, quiver, rear stabilizer, arrow set, and an allen wrench for tuning. Most of our ready-to-hunt compound bow packages ship with the sight, rest, peep sight, quiver, and stabilizer already installed, so you can head to the range or the treestand the day the bow arrives.
