Introducing the XTS Tuning System™ — engineered to correct lateral and vertical paper tears simultaneously, with a single hex key, in under two minutes.
The XTS Tuning System™
The Most Complete Micro-Tuning System Ever Built
The Problem
Half-Tuned Bows Lose the Season
Traditional systems only correct one axis at a time — and almost always require a press and a pro shop visit. If your broadheads aren’t printing with your field points, your bow isn’t really tuned. It’s just close enough — until it isn’t.
The System
One System to Rule Them All
XTS corrects lateral tears at the bottom limb pocket and vertical tears at the top — independently or simultaneously. Machined gradation lines track every micro-adjustment. Measurable. Repeatable. Locked down with a locking screw so nothing shifts after the shot.
The Standard
Built Into the Bow. Not Bolted On.
XTS isn’t an aftermarket accessory or a last-minute feature add. It’s machined into the limb pocket architecture of every 2026 Hoyt flagship bow — because Engineered Synergy™ means every system works together from the ground up, not alongside each other
XTS-Tuning System Mechanism
A tuning system so simple, even your brother-in-law could tune it.
XTS gives you factory-level precision, in your hands, anywhere you hunt.
No Bow Press Required
Every XTS adjustment is made externally, through the limb pocket face. No disassembly. No cable work. No press needed at any point in the tuning process
Corrects All 4 Tear Directions
Tail high, tail low, tail left, tail right — XTS addresses every paper tear scenario through independent top and bottom pocket adjustments
Measurable & Repeatable
Machined gradation lines are built into the system so you can track, record, and repeat every adjustment — across bow setups, seasons, and conditions
Locks Solid After Every Adjustment
Locking screws secure every XTS position under shot force. Set it once in the field and it stays — no drift, no creep between the trailhead and the stand
What the industry and Hunters are saying
A Tuning System Like No Other
From pro shops to backcountry hunters — here's what happens when tuning gets simple.
Carbon RX-10
John Dudley - Nock On
“The XTS tuning system is changing how we dial in our rigs. Hoyt wasn’t first to the tunability game, but they’ve certainly perfected it. You can literally walk your arrows together until field points and broadheads are hitting the same point of impact. I really love this system… XTS in my opinion is the perfected version of everything that came before it. I didn’t even want to change, but the tunability system makes a lot of sense. And it allows you to change arrows, change broadheads, change fletchings. You can play around and make a quick and easy adjustment. Whether you’re a seasoned archer or just getting started, this system makes tuning your bow easier than ever. Micro adjustment worth it on limb pockets and the ability to shift and shim? It’s 100% worth it when you need to make those adjustments.”
AX-3 33 + XTS Tuning System
MFJJ — Podium Archer
“I have bashed and berated Hoyt for a couple of years now about not having a tuning system. Apparently, they were listening. They not only created a tuning system, they created what I think might be the best tuning system ever made. Once you get it set, timed, and good, you should never need to press it again. So that part’s pretty awesome. Everything was accurate. Period. Not one fudge, not one lie, not one exaggeration.”(On RX-10 Ultra specs vs. advertised) Phenomenal product."

Lancaster Archery Supply
XTS is awesome. Eight times out of 10, I get a bullet hole and I don’t have to fix anything (on factory-preset XTS out of the box). Hoyt Archery has now gotten into the game where we’re putting tuning features on the bow that you do not need a bow press for.”
Hoyt XTS Tuning System
Wilde Arrow Archery
“It’s a pretty reactive system once you get it set up the right way. I’ve loved it. I got a bow a little early to take on a whitetail hunt and I got my field tips and fixed blade broadheads nailed at 100 yards with this system. It works phenomenally. So, really excited about it. Hoyt crushed it with this bow. It makes tuning your broadhead stupid easy, guys. That’s really where this thing shines — if you are out at the range and it’s off, quick little adjustment, walk them together, fix your sight, and it might not shoot perfect through paper, but who cares when it delivers a broadhead and a field tip the same. It’s a sweet system. It works great once you do your macros first.”
AX-3 33 + XTS Tuning System
Born Hunting
“I’m pretty sure at that moment, a chorus of angels sang a hallelujah song.” (On first seeing the XTS limb pockets) “The tear was perfect.” (After his first XTS adjustment using only a 3/32 Allen wrench) “You need nothing more than a 3/32 Allen wrench to achieve a perfect paper tear.” “Hoyt knows what they have and continues to build on past year’s successes. They are never reinventing the wheel. They just make their wheel better. Case in point: The XTS Tuning System!” “I loved my 29-inch axle-to-axle AX-2, but the AX-3 33 with the integrated XTS Tuning System trumps every previous Hoyt aluminum build.” “If you’ve saved your pennies, waiting on a bow maker to develop a flagship worthy of its price tag, Hoyt’s AX-3 33 is the bow to buy.”

Extreme Outfitters
“My favorite thing about these bows — the change that I think everybody is really going to enjoy — is the XTS tuning system.” “The biggest upgrade for 2026 is Hoyt’s XTS Tuning System — a breakthrough in precision micro-tuning.” “It’s going to be a great system and it’s going to really make the tuning process for shops that much more efficient and that much faster.” “Everybody’s moved to a system similar to this, and Hoyt’s finally on board, and I think it just takes their bows to the next level.” “When you go Hoyt, you know you gain durability. The performance is there. The look is there. I think Hoyt did a fantastic job.”
