First, the draw range starts at a peak of 40 pounds, which is adjustable down to 30 pounds. There are several features of this bow I would point out. The drop-away rest clacked against the shelf slightly, but a little moleskin resolved that issue. At the shot there is a very slight amount of detectable vibration.

Nothing grabby about these cams, nor is letting down from full draw difficult. I shoot a Spyder 30 on occasion, and not surprisingly the feel of the Charger was very similar in just about every respect, with Hoyt’s characteristic smooth draw, steady hold, and solid back wall. At 3.8 pounds the Charger qualifies as a light bow. In less than 15 minutes from that initial shot, the bow was shooting 2-inch groups at 20 yards. I shot several arrows from 10 yards to get in the ballpark, then backed off to 20 yards and shot a couple of four-arrow groups to make final adjustments. Arrow flight with field tips appeared good. Hoyt recommends a starting centershot 13⁄16 inch from the riser, so after squaring the arrow on the string in alignment with the Berger holes, I adjusted the QAD Ultra-Rest accordingly, then adjusted the timing cord. The logos are understated and seemingly indelible. There is a slight texture to the outer coat, and nothing on this bow is likely to glare or shine. Fit and finish on the Charger is indistinguishable from that of Hoyt’s most expensive bows, which is to say faultless. There are no set screws, so adjusting draw weight is a matter of turning the limb bolts, with three or four turns covering the 10-pound range. Peak draw weights are 40, 50, 60, 65, 70, or 80 pounds, each adjusting downward 10 pounds as desired. Changing modules does not require a press and is a simple matter of removing them with a hex wrench and replacing them with the correct size modules, then moving the draw stop on the bottom cam to the corresponding position. One cam size covers the draw lengths from 24 inches to 261⁄2 inches, another from 27 inches to 30 inches, with different modules for each half-inch of adjustment. Cams on the Charger, as with other bows featuring the Cam & 1/2 system, are modular and draw-length specific.
