Meet the compact powerhouse in the Hoyt lineup: the Alpha AX-3 29. Built for hunters who want agility, precision, and fast, simple tuning, this bow delivers flagship performance in a shorter axle-to-axle package.

Key Specs and Features

The In-Line Accessory System helps the bow balance naturally and cuts noise and vibration.
The overall design supports quick handling in tight quarters.

Why This Bow Stands Out

The AX-3 29 delivers the performance of a full flagship platform with the convenience of a compact frame. The short length makes it easy to maneuver in stands, blinds, and thick cover. The HBX Gen 4 cam gives it a smooth cycle, and the 4.4-pound weight keeps it light on long hunts.

Apex Review

Tuning is straightforward. The XTS system responds fast and lets you get perfect flight without shop tools. Once dialed, the bow draws smooth, holds steady, and shoots quiet. For hunters who want a compact bow that still hits hard and tunes easy, the AX-3 29 stands out.

Ideal For

Hunters drawing 25 to 30 inches, or anyone who needs a bow that moves well in confined spaces while keeping top-end performance. If you want agility, easy tuning, and a rig built for real hunting conditions, the AX-3 29 is a smart choice.
