HOYT XAKT RISER

Weighing 1,088g, this stripped-down riser is relatively light and should work well for beginner and junior archers. It has a slight deflex, which will help with the forgiveness. Design-wise, it is definitely in the lineage of the classic Excel/horizon models. Beautifully balanced and with lateral limb adjustment, this riser punches well above its price point.
