Elite Victra: a 37½-inch target bow with a 90% let-off and the new SPX2 cam

The Victra is Elite's 2026 target compound and the long-bar successor to the Era platform. Specs: 37½ inches axle-to-axle, 7-inch brace height, 4.7 pounds mass weight, 328 FPS IBO, draw lengths from 25½ through 31 inches in quarter-inch increments, peak weights of 40 / 50 / 60 / 65 / 70 pounds, and a let-off ceiling of 90%. MSRP $1,799.99.

Elite is positioning this as "the next evolution in target bow performance and tunability." The technologies they're leaning on are the SPX2 cam, the Micro Splitter timing system, Delta VRT for vibration, and S.E.T. for nock-travel correction.

The 90% let-off question

Most target compounds top out at 80% or 85%. The Victra goes to 90%. For competition archers, this is significant.

The math: at 60-pound peak with 80% let-off, you're holding ~12 pounds at full draw. At 90% let-off, you're holding ~6 pounds. That's a 50% reduction in holding effort, which translates directly to longer steady holds on long-distance shots — especially Lancaster's 50/60 meter outdoor or USA Archery field 80-yard stations.

The tradeoff: high let-off softens the back wall. Archers used to a hard wall at 70-75% let-off describe 90% as feeling "vague" until they adapt. If you're transitioning from a hard-wall bow, expect a 2-3 week recalibration.

SPX2 cam — what changed

Elite documents SPX2 as a smoother load transition than the prior generation. The marketing line is "smoother load transitions" — engineer translation: the draw force curve is flatter at the peak, easing the maximum-force phase before falloff to let-off. For target archers shooting 50-100 ends per session, that's less cumulative shoulder load.

Modules set draw length in quarter-inch increments. Quarter-inch is the granularity competition archers want; many hunting bows step in half-inches, which means a 28½" archer on a half-inch bow is choosing between 28" (cramped) and 29" (overextended). The Victra solves that.

Micro Splitter — Elite's press-free tuning

Both Hoyt (XTS) and Mathews (LST on TITLE) launched press-free tuning systems in the same window. Elite's answer is the Micro Splitter timing system — adjustments at the cam splitter that correct timing and lateral nock travel without a press.

The implementation differs from Hoyt's XTS (which works at the limb pocket) and Mathews's LST (which shifts the limb itself). The Micro Splitter is at the cam — a smaller, more direct adjustment. Which mechanism wins long-term depends on how reliably each holds zero after 5,000 arrows. Three months too early to call.

Delta VRT vibration management

Elite calls Delta VRT a system to "reduce residual post-shot vibration." It's the brand's answer to Mathews's parallel-limb design and Hoyt's carbon-warm pitch. The mechanism is less documented publicly, but the effect target archers care about is: lower bow movement after release, lower string slap audible signature, less arm fatigue across long sessions.

S.E.T. Technology

Elite has been running S.E.T. (Simplified Exact Tuning) since 2021. It's the system that lets the riser shift the rest position to correct cam lean and nock travel without a press. It's now standard across the Elite target lineup. If you've shot an Elite Era, EnVision, or Verdict, you know S.E.T. — the Victra continues the pattern.

Who it's for

Competition target archers who:

• Need quarter-inch draw length increments
• Shoot at long distance (50m+ outdoor) and want maximum let-off for steady holds
• Prefer Elite's grip and back-wall feel
• Want press-free tuning between sessions
• Don't need the 38"-40" hyper-long axle bows for their specific discipline

FAQ

Victra vs Mathews TITLE 36 vs Hoyt Concept X 37? Three serious target compounds in the same window. Quick distillation: TITLE 36 has the longest cam-tuning history (LST proven over 18 months), Concept X 37 has Hoyt's grip and back-wall feel, Victra has the highest let-off (90%) and the quarter-inch DL increments. Most archers pick based on grip + back wall preference after trying all three.

Is 7-inch brace forgiving enough for a 37½-inch bow? 7" is generous for the axle length. Indoor archers tend to prefer 6.5" or shorter; outdoor archers prefer longer. 7" splits well for archers shooting both seasons.

MSRP $1,799 — what about S.E.T.-equipped Era models? The Era is staying in the Elite lineup at a lower price point. If S.E.T. is enough tuning for you and you don't need the SPX2 cam or 90% let-off, the Era saves you several hundred dollars.
