Since Hoyt doesn’t offer replacement cams for their top of the line bows from 7 years ago, I’m wondering if anyone is aware of any copies being produced?
Also kinda curious how much demand there is for them. If there are a bunch of guys out there with $2000 bows they have to throw in the garbage because they can’t get cams, I bet a company could make some money producing replacements.

Anyone have some 2017 30” Carbon Defiant #1 cams they want to sell?

Likely the best place for guidance. Why do you need new cams?

The archery industry has done it's best to turn stuff into obsolete garbage so you have to spend $2k again.

I should know, there's a 98 Martin, 99 Martin, 13 Martin, and 18 Xpedition in my shop. I sold 5 other Martins to guys for parts over the years when they need them worse than I did.


I'd also be looking at Archery Talk and eBay. Call every Hoyt dealer out there and someone might have a set on the shelf.

I have rarely found limbs or cams if they weren't draw length specific though.

Thanks for the replies. My current cams work fine but I did fall on my bottom cam while hunting. Dry fired it too once but that’s unrelated. All that was 6 years ago. Bows fine, just disappointed to hear it’s days are numbered.

Hoyt still offers limbs but not cams.

If I could make them I would but that’s beyond my ability in any amount of time or effort that would be worth it to me.
