However, with the HBX system, my 31-inch draw shoots the same as someone at a 27-inch draw. While many other cams on the market are draw-length adjustable, when you get to the longer draws the draw cycle suffers and the shootability of the bow is diminished. The HBX cams allow for draw-length adjustability from 26 inches to 31 inches by choosing between two modules-one of my favorite things about the design of HBX system. The updated cam system on the Ventum 33 delivers the ultimate blend of comfort, speed, and tunability to make this a versitle hunting bow. And this sleek backcountry killer weighs in at 4.7 pounds-without accessories. The Ventum 33 features an ATA speed rating of 334 feet per second, with a 6 3/8-inch brace height that is as forgiving as anyone could ask for. ![]() The Ventum re-imagines how a bow delivers calm in the shot when nerves are raw and adrenaline feeds on a constant drip. I have found over the years that a longer axle-to-axle bow decreases string angle at my long draw length and allows me to shoot more confidently and accurately at farther distances. Due to my height and monkey-like arms, I chose the 33-inch axle-to-axle model. The Ventum offers two axle-to-axle lengths: a 30-inch and a 33-inch. This is Hoyt’s aluminum-riser flagship model for the year, and it earned its place at the top of the line. This year, with the delays in outdoor products everywhere in the industry, my insatiable lust for something new brought me down to the wire.Īs I searched through catalogs of new bows, I studied their specs and ended up going with the Hoyt Ventum 33. Years of staring at top-end bows on the shelf built a desire for me to always have the “best” model for the year. This year my new bow setup came just weeks before the season-I did make sure to practice with my previous setup throughout the off-season to stay prepared, but I'm just now getting acquainted with my new choice in compound bows. I am not one to encourage this behavior, but I may be as guilty as the rest. Bow sales would always skyrocket when the calendar read September. #HOYT CROSSBOW PRO#I worked as pro staff in an archery shop for several years while in college and if one thing always held true, it was that people procrastinate when getting their equipment ready for hunting season. Hunters across the country will soon be taking to the hills in pursuit of bull elk or velvet mule deer. The time when hunters realize that the “I have time” sentiment is all but gone and the season is starting in mere days-if it hasn’t started already. You know, the time where archery-shop parking lots are chock full, and the pro staff are overwhelmed. We’ll miss you dad.SeptemBy Joe Ferronato Overview: Hoyt Ventum 33 Bow | $1,249 He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.
