Hoyt Alpha 33 - Compound Bow

Engineered from the ground up, the Hoyt Alpha X 33 represents one of the most complete and balanced designs Hoyt has ever built. Developed using advanced modeling, stress analysis, and vibration testing, the Alpha X 33 delivers a level of refinement and performance that redefines what a flagship aluminum bow can be.

Next-Generation Riser Design

The Alpha X 33 features Hoyt’s most advanced Tec-Lite riser to date. With offset top and bottom tunnels, engineers optimized every contour of the riser—adding strength where it counts and shaving material where possible to eliminate unnecessary weight. The result is a stiffer, quieter, and more stable shooting platform than ever before.

Through extensive noise and vibration modeling, Hoyt achieved significant reductions in shot noise and hand shock—without relying on limb dampeners. The result is a smoother, quieter shooting experience that feels effortless at full draw and rock solid at release.

Integrated into the riser are Hoyt’s newest mounting innovations:

• In-Line Picatinny Sight Mount: Keeps the sight close to the riser’s centerline for perfect balance and reduced torque.

• Integrate Dovetail Rest Mount: Seamlessly anchors rests like the QAD Integrate MX for perfect alignment.

• In-Line Short Stop Stabilizer (2.25”): Mounted low and forward, offering the stabilization of a 6-inch bar in a compact, balanced form.

Comfort, Control & Confidence

The VitalPoint Grip, molded from soft Versaflex, promotes ideal hand placement and pressure distribution, reducing torque for repeatable accuracy. The low-profile Roller Guard system runs on sealed bearings, minimizing friction and maximizing consistency throughout the draw and release cycle.

Power and Precision

Powered by the new HBX Xact Cam System, the Alpha X 33 is smooth, efficient, and highly customizable. Capable of reaching speeds up to 334 fps, the cam system offers three rotating base modules to cover draw lengths from 26–31 inches in ¼-inch increments. Archers can fine-tune their setup with adjustable 75%, 80%, or 85% let-off, and the Module Foot allows for a firm or ultra-solid back wall feel at full draw.

Hoyt’s upgraded WireWRX strings are pre-stretched and served under high tension to eliminate peep rotation and maintain consistent tune through thousands of shots.

Built for Durability and Longevity

Hoyt’s patented Split Limb Technology and Multi-Layered Parallel Split Limbs deliver legendary reliability. Each limb set undergoes brutal testing—over 1,500 dry fires and one million shot cycles—ensuring unmatched consistency and safety. Precision-machined aluminum limb pockets keep alignment perfect for maximum accuracy on every draw.

On the Range or In the Field

The Alpha X 33 is built for archers who demand stability and forgiveness above all else. Its longer axle-to-axle length and perfect balance make it incredibly steady on target. The draw is silky smooth, the valley generous, and the release dead quiet. While its 4.75-pound weight contributes to a solid, confident hold, it still feels nimble and balanced—ideal for hunting and competition alike.

This is a bow that rewards good form, inspires confidence, and performs flawlessly in any environment.
