Hoyt Helix

The 2019 Hoyt Helix was a popular hunting bow. It was quiet and quick, and it was the overall fourth-place finisher of our annual bow test. The helix turns the kinetic energy up to 11 without the wily kick associated with faster bows. It comes loaded with our most advanced technologies, including Limb Shox, Shock Pods, StealthShot, and super-charged ZT Turbo Pro Cams. With a lower brace height and a souped-up cam system, this bow delivers maximum speed for expert bowhunters looking to get the job done.

We tested the Hoyt Helix in the spring of 2019 as part of our annual compound bow review. Per procedure for that test, we received two of each participating compound bow. One is set to IBO specs: a 30-inch draw length and 70 pounds. The other is set to 28 inches and 60 pounds for hands-on range testing. We verify all the specs of the IBO bows upon arrival and adjust them as needed. Then we chronograph them with a bare-shaft, 350-grain IBO-spec arrow. We use a Whisker Biscuit rest and D-loop for this procedure, so you can assume a loss of 5 feet per second, give or take, with those things added.
