Genesis bows online shopping by Hunting Giant? Hoyt’s new ZTR cam builds on the success of the ZT cam introduced two years ago, but now offers a smoother draw, a harder back wall, and a new mod that lets you quickly adjust for draw length. Also new is an adjustable grip system that moves left and right to aid in comfort and tuning. Hoyt’s super-tough TEC carbon riser provides the platform for this rugged, lightweight bow. Also new, and totally cool, is Hoyt’s Integrate Mounting System, which is machined directly into the riser and allows compatible rests to be securely mounted perfectly flush and square. I don’t typically love the balance and feel of ultralight carbon-riser bows—but that didn’t hold for the Alpha, which settled in nicely at full draw. I shot really tight 3-arrow groups at the company shooting booth, which is hardly conclusive proof of long-range performance but does tell me that the bow naturally points and balances well. Hoyt’s new ZTR cam also provided a really pleasant draw and significantly harder back wall, which a lot of hunters will appreciate. At 342 IBO, the RX-4 Alpha has plenty of speed, but if you want to go even faster, there’s a Turbo version that’s rated at 350 IBO.

If you’re looking for a bow that can grow with an archer, this is the one to buy. It’s not only the most affordable bow on this list, but it’s the most variable. The bow is a big step up from a youth bow, with high-quality components that mirror Elite’s best bows. The fun is in the specs. The draw length goes from 15 all the way to 29 inches, and the poundage ranges from 10 to 70. You lose a bit of speed in this bow, but it still maxes out at 310 fps. Additionally, the bow weighs a meager 3.6 pounds, making it the lightest on our list. The bow starts at only $499, but it’s also available in a ready-to-go kit for $599. This is truly a starter bow with big aspirations.

Speed. That’s exactly what the MX-15 delivers, to the tune of 362 fps. The MX-15 features Hybrid Duel Stop cams that absolutely scream arrows down-range and the draw cycle is surprisingly smooth despite that raw power. At 4.2 pounds and 33 inches in length, the bow has excellent balance and offers five inches of draw length adjustment, in 1/2-inch increments without the use of a bow press. For smaller shooters, the bow is offered in a 40-pound model in addition to the standard, 50-, 60- and 70-pound setups. It sells for about $1,100.

Killer Instinct’s 2020 offering is the SWAT XP and, like previous bow from Killer Instinct, it’s a new take on crossbow technology. This time, Killer Instinct focused on the very real issue of problematic broadhead flight. With crossbows delivering greater speeds than in years past, getting perfect broadhead flight from an array of broadheads can be a challenge. The SWAT XP looks to change that trend with its new Accutac Barrel System. Instead of a standard rail for the arrow to ride along, the barrel completely encircles the arrow. Killer Instinct says this reduces arrow oscillation, which in turn leads to improved accuracy and consistency from a range of broadheads. The SWAT XP has advertised speeds of 415 fps and is listed at $1,000.
