Speed bows are all the rage these days, and everyone wants to know about the fastest hunting bows available on the market. The 2022 crop didn’t disappoint and assembled some of the speediest stick slingers ever seen, including bows reaching 360 and even 370 fps. If you’re hunting for a fast new hunting bow, here are 12 options to consider.
Xpedition Archery Smoke
You came here for the speed, and the new Smoke by Xpedition Archery delivers. It’s the fastest bow they’ve produced, perhaps the fastest hunting bow ever, and it rockets out of the gate at a meteoric 370 fps. It has a 32- inch axle-to-axle length and a 5.375-inch brace height. It has either 60- or 70- peak draw weights, 28-30-inch draw lengths, and weighs 4.4 pounds.
This bow is adjustable, too, with let-off ranges from 75–80%. You can thank its hybrid cam and innovative design for the top-end speed. Those who are interested should know these bows are limited edition and will only be available while inventory lasts.
Hoyt Twin Turbo
Hoyt continues to build on its reputation with the new Twin Turbo, and let me tell you, this thing scoots. It zips downrange at a sprightly 350 fps (ATA). This bow also has a 33-inch axle-to-axle measurement and 5.875-inch brace height. The draw length ranges from 25 to 30 inches. Draw weight ranges from 40–70 pounds. It weighs 4.5 pounds.
The new Twin Turbo cam is built for speed, but it’s smooth, too. The bow is also equipped for shock absorption. It comes packed with other features, too, including everything that carbon has to offer. Some of these things include a warmer grip, increased durability, and more.
Hoyt Highline
The new Highline by Hoyt unzips the air and the game you’re chasing at 345 fps (ATA). While that’s 5 fps slower than the Twin Turbo, it’s still plenty fast. It’s 36.5 inches axle to axle and has a 7.875-inch brace height. The draw length ranges from 29–34 inches. Draw weight ranges from 50–70 pounds. The bow weighs 4.9 pounds.

Mathews V3X 29
True to Mathews fashion, the company has released yet another slick bow for 2022. The V3X 29 clocks in at 340 fps (IBO). That’s a little slower than others on the list. But what little it lacks in speed is more than made up for in smooth, quiet, accurate shooting. This model is 29 inches axle to axle, has a six-inch brace height and weighs 4.47 pounds. It has a draw length of 25.5–30 inches. It has draw weight options of 60, 65, 70, and 75 pounds.
Interestingly, this bow allows hunters to mount a dovetail sight through the bow’s riser, which eliminates the need for an external bracket. This helps decrease its footprint and increases stability. Furthermore, the new Stay Afield System (S.A.S.) allows hunters to safely remove or repair strings and cables in the field without using a bow press. All that’s needed is a small, lightweight emergency kit.
Elite Envision
Those who’ve shot Elite know just how smooth these bows are. The new Envision checks in at 334 fps (IBO). It is 31 inches axle to axle and has a 6.875-inch brace height. The bow has a draw length range of 23.5-30.5 inches and a peak draw weight range of 40-75 pounds.
This bow is made for micro-adjustments and even can change the draw length in quarter-inch increments. That’s something other bows don’t have. Other areas of the bow are adjustable, too, including the let-off.
Prime Inline 5
Those who like Prime will love their new Inline 5. It has a 342-fps IBO rating, which is moderately fast considering other bow options in the field. It has a six-inch brace height and weighs 4.5 pounds. This model has a 26-30.5- inch draw length and a very adjustable 30-80-pound peak draw weight.
This model is also 35 inches axle to axle, which is made for bigger shooters. Pair that with the extreme adjustability the rest of the bow has, and it’s a unique combination that few other bow models offer.
BowTech SR350
The new SR350 by Bowtech is another excellent compound. This hunting bow is a blistering 350 fps. It has a draw length range of 25–30 inches and peak draw weights of 50, 60, or 70 pounds. It has an axle-to-axle measurement of 33 inches and a brace-height measurement of six inches. The bow weighs 4.4 pounds.

Bear Refine EKO
