Hoyt Alphaburner - The Speed Bow

In 2010 Hoyt Archery brought out the new wave in speed bows with the introduction of the Alphaburner. The main selling point of this bow wasn’t the outstanding speed, for which it was blessed, but the accuracy with which the bow offered.

One of the problems with many of the speed bows that were produced around the time was that they were difficult to control. The short stature of the bows and the small brace height for which they were particular were reasons behind the aiming difficulties. The Alphaburner overcame the accuracy problems through the smooth draw cycle and lightning fast launch process.

The components of the bow were also part of the secret to its smoothness and accuracy. The bow features a radical design with reflex geometry in the riser, XT 2000 laminated limbs and the Spiral Cam & ½ Technology for a blend of power and precision.

The Alphaburner could be considered the forerunner to the incredible speeds that are being achieved with many compound bows today. The use of high quality materials in the construction of the limbs is particularly important. These limbs have to be capable of holding immense forces and they are pre-stressed and laminated with Hoyt’s proprietary Five Layer Lamination process. They are uniform in their stress distribution and smoother as a result.

The bow features a rock solid wall that is obvious when you reach it. It is easy to hold at full draw and the bow is well balanced.

In short the Hoyt Alphaburner has proven to be a winner in the minds of most archers who have used it. The good news for anyone who wants to buy one now is that they are now available at reduced prices because they have been replaced by the newer release bows.
