DCX Cam
The newest member of the tournament-proven Cam & 1/2 line up is our all-new DCX Cam. It is the perfect combination of smooth draw, firm wall, and wind-crushing speed with speed increases up to 13 Feet Per Second compared to prior year X3 model bows. The new DCX Cam is available in 65 or 75% let-off options with a built-in modular draw length adjustment system that features a removable rubber stop for an even harder wall.
SVX Cam
The Altus Series is available with the tournament dominating SVX Cam & 1/2. With a fixed 65% let-off and ultra-firm wall, the SVX Cam will keep you honest on the back wall and produce blistering speeds of up to 330 feet per second, significantly faster than prior year SVX model bows. The wall of the SVX can be adjusted for a slightly softer feel by removing the draw stop peg and washer from perimeter of the cam and putting the peg in the inner peg position, located near the hub of the cam.
Rear stabilizer mounts
Integrated rear stabilizer mounting locations allow for convenient use of a rear stabilizer to customize the balance of your rig for ultimate consistency and accuracy. Our unique design includes a secondary lock-down hole for bomb-proof, rock-solid mounting when used with the Hoyt Hard-Lock Rear Stabilizer Bracket.

Characteristics
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.

Notes on delivery time
Please note the following information on the stated and actual delivery time:
You are purchasing an item that we do not have in stock ourselves, but order from a wholesaler for you. As a rule, it will be with us in approx. 5-7 working days and can then be dispatched to you immediately. For this reason, a maximum delivery time of 8-9 working days is displayed in the order form.
However, our shop system cannot display the stock levels of wholesalers and suppliers. Even the wholesaler cannot always have every variation in stock. It may therefore be the case that the item has to be ordered directly from the manufacturer (Asia, America). In this case, the delivery time can be extended to up to 12 weeks. In special cases, the item will be made for you and may have an even longer waiting time.
After finalising your order and checking the availability of your items, you will receive information from us with a more precise delivery time. If possible, we will also offer you alternatives that can be delivered more quickly.
Thank you for your understanding.
