Hoyt Carbon RX-9 SD Compound Hunting Bow

Hoyt took their incredibly popular RX-8 hunting bow and said, “We can do even better.”

Introducing the Hoyt RX-9 SD, Hoyt’s short-draw specific carbon 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, and ultra stable. 

The main point of interest within the 2025 Hoyt RX-9 SD is the incredible level of efficiency. The RX-9 SD has an FPS increase at every available poundage and draw length over the RX-8, 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 RX-9 SD squeezes every bit of power out of each draw length and weight that it possibly can. 

The updated riser design also contributes to perhaps the most “dead in the hand” carbon bow that has ever been produced. Other carbon bows take pride in their ability to reduce the classic hand shock that comes with carbon compound bows, but the RX-9 SD blows past “reduce” and straight to “kill.” The hand shock isn’t just lessened, it is gone. This ensures a comfortable and repeatable shot sequence for however long you find yourself in the field. 

• This SD (short draw) version of the RX-9 contains the SD module, allowing the bow to stretch from 23” to 27” in ½” increments.

Why LAS Likes the Hoyt RX-9 Series: 

P.J. Reilly put it best when he said this bow was the best shooting Hoyt Carbon bow ever. The complete elimination of any and all hand shock is truly revolutionary in the world of carbon bows, and that allows you to be as precise and collected at the moment of truth as possible. On top of that, the RX-9 has a smooth draw cycle that makes it feel like you’re pulling less weight than you actually are, and nobody will complain about that.
