Ultimate Compound Bow Showdown: Hoyt Alpha X vs. PSE Evolve DS vs. Elite Ethos!
Welcome to our latest archery review! In this video, we put three flagship compound bows to the test: the Hoyt Alpha X, PSE Evolve DS, and Elite Ethos. Each bow is meticulously set to a 70-pound draw weight and boasts a 33-inch axle-to-axle length, making this a truly head-to-head comparison.
Bow Specs:
- Axle-to-Axle Length: 33 inches
- Draw Weight: 70 pounds
In this comprehensive review, we cover everything from draw cycles and speed tests to accuracy and ease of use. Whether you're a seasoned archer or new to the sport, this comparison will help you decide which bow suits your needs best.
This video was not scripted and has me wishing i took other things into consideration when scoring but thats why I say, always try the bows for yourself because half of it is completely personal!

You had the same feel than me. This year i update my bow. I dont knew if go for the ethos or evolve but after shooting both i notice the elite hasnt the old silky draw cycle of other elite bows. This year looking for speed they are stiffer. No harsh but stiffer than pse. Too i dont know the reason but im more accurate with evolve 33. At last i bought the evolve ds. Tuning was a joke bullet hole firts shot. EZ.220 shim wasnt needed. Great video👍

I did the same testing to get my first bow this year. I found the same as you other then a little hand shock on the ds. The tech adjusted the elite to 80 percent let off and had me pull it and my word it was night and day. Valley is gone and smoothed out. I left with the elite ethos when I went in thinking of getting a Hoyt

100% I’m currently sitting in the bush eating breakfast with the Ethos in hand. I’m obsessed with this bow🤣

Thank you for the transparent review. I think Elite has a "smooth" mod. This could make it more comfortable, but must be purchased separately I believe

So weird thing, this weekend I needed to setup a bow for a massive bucket list hunt coming in a months time. The shop suggested I use the Elite because it won on this video. I set it up and you won’t believe it🤣 I vouch that it is the smoothest and quietest bow I’ve ever shot. So maybe it was just the day or something 🙈

@Bluesplayer789 100% super impressed with the Ethos so far. I’m going after a Kudu or Waterbuck Bull so we going to make sure this Ethos is squared away 🙏🏼

Nice comparison, not sure if its just me but difference in sound with the hoyt going from 441gn to the higher 505gn was quite noticeable

I don't really think that weight should be a key metric in purchasing a bow. I would only ever be concerned about the weight if a lighter bow shot just as well with the same amount of stabilizer weights as a heavier bow. However I think in general you usually end up adding more stabilizer weights to the lighter bow and the package weight ends up pretty close.

A lot of mixed emotions myself watching this video. Nothing was scripted, just some light topics we must touch on. I love all three and I’m busy setting up an Elite Ethos for a bucket list hunt to get more familiar with the brand. We learn and we better prepare for the next one🙏🏼

@rwhite7361 Ай бұрын

My omnia is my first elite and I love it, that grip just agrees with me. My only concern is how thin the cams are

@outdoorswithtravis Ай бұрын

We decided after filming this that my next survival hunt will be with this bow, so we gonna put it to the test. But so far last few days of setting it up and getting in. It’s amazing

@ecrank83 Ай бұрын

Change the let off on the ethos and the dump goes away. Also the smooth mods make it easier to pull than my Ss34.

100% just spent the last three weeks diving into everything on and about the bow, and now I’m obsessed 🤣

Observations: Elite sounded the quietest. Elite does not have IMS or Picatinny Mount.

You won’t believe it but I’m busy building out an elite Ethos out now for a bucket list hunt. I wish I could amend this video because it is by far the smoothest and quietest bow I’ve shot. I don’t know if I was tired on the day or what it was but it’s pretty great 💪🏼

I'm sorry, but you only move. The rest as a last resort, very minor movement.

@Rikcey Ай бұрын

It may not be your taste as things don't look aligned, but moving the rest is definitely a viable method. Just because it isn't yours doesn't mean it's wrong.

@outdoorswithtravis Ай бұрын

Depends on the time you have as well as the equipment (bow press and etc)

@Graygoatoutdoors111 Ай бұрын

I know that moving the rest works. I also know that it is not the way the bow is designed, but it is effective but I think the first opportunity you get to get the bow back in center, shot or as close to it as you can. That is the proper way too toon a bow. Shim the camp then make minor adjustments to your rest. Your site's everything will work better.

@Rikcey Ай бұрын

@@Graygoatoutdoors111 really not actually. Only recently manufacturers started to cater to moving the cam. Not so long ago there weren't even OEM shim kits. It's all about getting the power stroke in line with the arrow, nothing more, nothing less.

@wcwcgarner2717 Ай бұрын

You always want to move the cam. Before you move your rest out of cs.
