I was immediately impressed with the Defiant’s balanced feel, as well as its superior fit and finish. However, the Defiant quickly caught my eye, and within minutes I was trying it out on the shop’s indoor range. Quite the contrary, I was simply killing time and looking around. On the afternoon in question, I entered one of my favorite archery shops with no intention of making a purchase. I can honestly say that my purchase of the Hoyt Defiant was purely by chance. This is a characteristic that is somewhat rare to find in many of today’s “high-performance” compounds. I am also a huge fan of the bow’s 7-inch brace height, as this bodes well to the Defiant’s innate sense of accuracy and forgiveness.Īs such, all archers, from beginners to highly experienced, should be capable of shooting the Defiant quite accurately. This is a judgment that I wholeheartedly agree with. ![]() In truth, the Defiant is often regarded as one of the most accurate and smoothest shooting bows within its given range of speed. While the Defiant is certainly not the fastest bow on the market, it is quick enough to accomplish all that is asked of it. Speaking of speed, the Hoyt Defiant features a relatively fast arrow speed of 331 FPS (ATA). This cam system, though mild by certain standards, provides the Defiant with an excellent blend of speed and accuracy, making it ideal for use in both hunting and competitive settings.įurther complimenting this technology, is the addition of revised limb pockets and preloaded limbs. This improves an archer’s posture, as well as their overall form.Īlso of significance, is the Defiant’s redesigned DFX Cam system. When at full draw the Defiant’s string is positioned in a way that eliminates the need to stoop in order to see through the bow’s peep sight. Perhaps the most highly regarded of these specifications, relates to the bow’s optimized string angle design. The Hoyt Defiant features a number of noteworthy technical specifications, all of which add significantly to its value. Hoyt Defiant Specs Let-Off: 80 percentĭraw Weights: 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 55-65, 60-70, 70-80 poundsįinishes: BlackOut, Buckskin, RealTree, Under Armour Ridge Reaper Barren The following is an account of my experiences with the Hoyt Defiant thus far, including the manner in which I chose to outfit my bow, as well as my reasoning for doing so. In fact, I currently shoot a Hoyt Defiant of my own, which I have now owned for approximately 2 ½ years.ĭuring this period, I have spent a significant amount of time both on the range and in the woods, putting the Defiant through its paces. ![]() Every day more archers all over the world are discovering what the Quivalizer does for hunting bow accuracy! No one ever said, “my hunting bow is too accurate”! The combination of lighter physical weight and increased down range performance is exactly what we each need as a bowhunter.In any event, I have been quite the fan of Hoyt Archery’s numerous compound bows, for as long as I can remember. It is no secret that top target archers and 3-D pros always shoot with a long stabilizer, the steady aim that results from using a longer stabilizer is undeniable and becomes especially helpful in circumstances where tournament nerves or buck fever start to enter the equation. Obviously, using the Quivalizer™ in the front stabilizer position is what really sets it apart from anything previously seen in the archery market. (QV-M Model Quivalizer pictured in "side of bow" position - for transport or shooting) but you gain huge hunting accuracy advantages! By adding the Quivalizer to your current bowhunting kit, you give up nothing over any other arrow quiver. This arrow storage position is optimal for bow storage and bow transport, allowing any archery rig to fit easily in a standard bow case. Besides being able to adjust vertically for arrow length variation, it is also a snap to adjust for rotation and both 2nd axis and 3rd axis, allowing almost unlimited adjustment to suit each individual bow setup. In the standard bow quiver position, on the side of the bow, the Quivalizer™ is fully adjustable for a “tight to the bow” position. Duel position (no tools required) quick detach connections allow the Quivalizer™ to be used effectively in either the traditional bow quiver position (on the side of the bow) or in the shot dampening front stabilizer position! And as with all Option products, it is covered by our lifetime warranty. By combining the arrow quiver and the stabilizer into a single unit, the Quivalizer™ accomplishes something that has never been achieved with a single archery product. Option Archery's aptly named Quivalizer™ reduces bow weight (QV-M 5 arrow model weighs only 11 oz.), improves bow balance, and increases bow stability while aiming at full draw. ![]()
