Hoyt warranty for bows & crossbows

40/100 Warranty ScoreRanked 8 of 22 brands
The short version

Hoyt doesn't cover everything, but keeps riser, limbs, limb pockets and cams covered for life. That full coverage is the same as most of the 22 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. Some of this coverage only applies if you register the product.

From Hoyt's published warranty, checked October 2026.
