REDWRX: DEMAND EVERYTHING
The true test of a bow’s merit comes by asking the question, “If I drew the hunt of a lifetime, what bow would I want in my hand?” REDWRX lands at the top of that list because REDWRX has no rival. It represents carbon that is over-engineered and over-built to forge the toughest, most capable bows in the world. For 2021, REDWRX remains the bow of choice for those who Demand Everything.

THE G.O.A.T.
Engineered with patented hollow-carbon tubes for lightweight smoothness and efficiency, no other riser is stronger or more nimble than a REDWRX. Carbon RX-5 gets some serious upgrades for 2021, including the new HBX Cam System, significantly improving the shooting experience over the already super smooth RX-4. It also picks up redesigned Limb Shox, Shock Pods, and a new stabilizer mounting location so effective – we included the stabilizer. And with new finish options, the greatest hunting bow of all time looks as good as it feels.
ALL-NEW HBX CAM SYSTEM
Carbon RX-5 boasts an all-new engine. We aren’t talking about an overhaul to a previous cam, we’re talking about an all-new cam system specifically designed for unparalleled performance. HBX comes in one cam size that covers the full draw length range by using two different module sizes, so you get the fastest performance across all draw lengths. The smooth and fast HBX Cam is making its debut on our highest performance hunting bows and you are going to love how it tunes, shoots, and feels.
IN-LINE SIGHT MOUNT
Bow balance is paramount for accuracy and consistency. Mounting accessories on the side of the bow throws everything off. Our In-Line Sight mount uses the proven reliability of a picatinny rail to strategically mount your sight on the front of your bow, in-line with the riser for a more streamlined fit, better balance, and more reliable attachment.
INTEGRATE REST MOUNTING SYSTEM
QAD’s rock solid Integrate Mounting system keeps the rest inline with the bow riser, resulting in better balance, a significantly more secure attachment system and lighter weight.
SL SIDEBAR ATTACHMENT
We improved the effectiveness of a sidebar by lowering the location to a lower center of gravity. This allows for better results from a smaller and light sidebar. When paired with our new SL Sidebar mount you get less bulk, less weight, less obtrusion, more stabilization, and a more streamlined attachment system for your sidebar.
IN-LINE SHORT STOP 2.25” STABILIZER
By moving the stabilizer location to a lower position on the bow, it lowered the center of gravity, increasing the effectiveness of the stabilizer. With the attachment point farther forward, a 2-inch stabilizer in this location has the same reach as a 6-inch stabilizer in the typical location, so you get improved stabilization from a shorter, lighter weight stabilizer. Our tests showed such a dramatic improvement, we are including a Short Stop stabilizer with every new Carbon RX-5.
