Hoyt Alpha AX-3 29 Compound Bow

Built for bowhunters who want speed, forgiveness, and simple setup, the Hoyt AX-3 delivers serious performance in a compact aluminum platform. Its standout advantage is the patent-pending XTS Tuning System, which makes fine-tuning fast, precise, and far less frustrating—so you can spend less time in the shop and more time shooting with confidence.

Precision Tuning Made Easy

The 2026 Hoyt AX-3 features the XTS Tuning System, a major step forward in bow setup. With just an Allen key, you can make quick, exact tuning adjustments without a bow press. Unlike many tuning systems that only address left and right tears, XTS also lets you correct high and low tears, giving you a more complete tuning solution. Even better, tuning changes won’t shift your point of impact, so you can dial in clean arrow flight without starting over.

When every shot matters, that kind of simplicity and precision is a real advantage.
