Starting at compact 29 inches axle to axle, these are the most compact premier bows in our lineup. Whether your tree stand is strapped in a tight spot, you regularly hunt in blinds, or you just prefer a compact set up, the AX-2 29 is the bow for you. Equipped with our famously smooth HBX cam system, the Gen 4 HBX cam is so smooth and easy to shoot, you&rsquo;ll wear the center of your target out in no time.<br /><br /><strong>Whats New For 2025:</strong>\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Real-World Speed: </strong>Improving performance was a major goal when developing the RX-9 and Alpha AX-2 series of bows. Not necessarily the advertised speed numbers, which are reported at 30 inch draw lenghts, but more specficially in the most common draw lengths.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Axle-to-Axle Length:</strong> For only the second time in the history of Hoyt, we are offering a flagship bow with an axle-to-axle less than 30 inches. The AX-2 29 is 29.5 inches axle-to-axle, but thanks to Hoyt Optimized Geometry, it holds and shoots like a longer axle-to-axle bow. Hoyt Optimized Geometry means the AX2 and RX9 can be compact rigs for hunting but still shoot like longer axle-to-axle bows, providing the stability and forgiveness demanded by serious bowhunters.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Mass Weight:</strong> Out of the box, the AX-2 series bows are .4 pounds lighter than their Alpha X predecessors. The AX-2 represents approximately 1/4 pound saved in mass weight of the bare bow (without the Short Stop Stabilizer), which is the weight we publish in the specs, and the rest of the weight savings comes from a new and improved, lighter weight Short Stop 2.0 Stabilizer and removal of the Shock Pods. The design improvements to the AX-2 yielded a shot experience just as smooth and quiet as the Alpha X even without the Shock Pods, so we took them off to save weight without sacrificing smoothness.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Short Stop 2.0 Stabilizer: </strong>All RX-9 and AX-2 bows come equipped with the Short Stop 2.0 stabilizer installed in the lower stabilizer bushing. This location is lower and further forward on the bow than the standard stabilizer location directly below the grip. There are several advantages to this location including a lower center of gravity (CG) which means a lighter stabilizer will anchor the bow just as good in this location as a heavier stabilizer in the upper location. Also, because this location is farther forward on the bow, the included Short Stop 2.0 at only 2 inches in length puts the weight the same distance in front of the bow as a 7 inch stabilizer in the upper location.</li>\n\t<li><strong>HBX Gen 4 Cam System:</strong> The engine of the RX-9 and AX-2 is the HBX Gen 4 Cam System. As the name implies, this is the 4th iteration of our popular HBX cam system. Along with many other design improvements, the HBX cam system has changed the game when it comes to smooth draw, silent shots, and overall performance of our bows over the past few years. We designed 5 modules to optimize performance for every inch of draw length range. The modules are numbered 5,4,3,2, and 1, with module 5 being for the longest inch of draw length available on a given model and module 1 being the shortest. Each module covers 3/4 of an inch in draw length range. Additionally, the Gen 4 has adjustable draw let-off positions so you can choose between 75%, 80% or 85% let-of.</li>\n</ul>\n\nSpecifications:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Brace Height: 6 3/8&quot;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Axle-to-Axle: 29.5&quot;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>340 pfs (ATA)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Weight: 4.25 lbs\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Draw Length: 25-30&quot;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Peak Draw Weight: 40-80 lbs\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n"
