Specs for a Hoyt Compound Bow

For nearly 80 years Hoyt has produced archery products. Today the company makes a wide range of compound bows. The specifications for Hoyt compound bows vary based on the specific bow model, but like most manufacturers, Hoyt rates its bows based on the International Bowhunters Organization (IBO) standards.
