The Xpedition RFX 32 Compound Bow combines an aggressive 340 fps IBO speed rating, Xpedition's RFX Cam System, and a versatile 32-inch axle-to-axle platform at a price point below many premium flagship hunting bows. Designed for bowhunters who want performance without paying flagship prices, the RFX 32 emphasizes a smooth draw cycle, customizable holding weight, and practical hunting geometry.
With a 6.125-inch brace height, a manufacturer-listed bare bow weight of 4.6 pounds, and an adjustable draw length range of 25 to 30 inches, the RFX 32 offers a compelling combination of performance and adjustability. Available in 60- and 70-pound peak draw-weight configurations, it's designed for hunters who want a capable bow for whitetail, Western, and general bowhunting applications.
Key Features
RFX Cam System
At the center of the Xpedition RFX 32 is the RFX Cam System, a new member of Xpedition's established XB cam family. The cam is designed to balance a smooth, comfortable draw cycle with impressive arrow-speed potential.
According to Xpedition, the RFX cam features an optimized draw-force curve intended to provide consistent resistance throughout the draw while maintaining efficient energy delivery.
For bowhunters, draw-cycle comfort matters just as much as maximum speed. A bow that draws comfortably and allows a shooter to settle naturally into full draw can be especially valuable in hunting situations where movement and timing matter.
340 FPS IBO Speed Rating
Xpedition rates the RFX 32 at up to 340 feet per second IBO, making speed one of its most notable performance characteristics.
That rating provides a useful comparison point when evaluating other compound bows, but it should not be confused with the expected speed of a finished hunting setup.
Actual arrow velocity depends on draw length, draw weight, arrow weight, and additional setup variables. We recommend selecting a hunting arrow based on proper spine, component configuration, total weight, and dependable arrow flight rather than choosing an arrow solely to maximize speed.
32-Inch Axle-to-Axle Hunting Platform
At 32 inches axle-to-axle, the RFX 32 sits between shorter, compact hunting bows and longer hunting platforms.
This length is appealing to bowhunters who want maneuverability in treestands, ground blinds, and wooded environments while retaining some of the aiming and string-angle characteristics associated with longer bows.
For whitetail hunters, the 32-inch length offers a versatile platform that can work across a variety of hunting situations. Western hunters may also appreciate the geometry if they prefer a relatively compact bow.
Axle-to-axle length alone does not determine stability or accuracy. Proper fit, holding characteristics, bow balance, and shooting technique remain important.
Optimized Draw Curve
One of the primary design goals of the RFX Cam System is to provide smooth drawability without giving up the speed expected from a performance hunting bow.
Xpedition engineered the cam to produce a controlled draw-force curve that balances power delivery with shooter comfort.
How a bow transitions through the draw, enters the valley, and holds at full draw is an important part of the shooting experience. We recommend evaluating these characteristics at your actual draw length and preferred draw weight rather than relying exclusively on manufacturer specifications.
25–30 Inch Adjustable Draw Length
The Xpedition RFX 32 accommodates draw lengths from 25 to 30 inches, with adjustment available in half-inch increments.
This allows the bow to be fitted to a broad range of adult shooters without requiring every archer to use the same draw-length configuration.
Correct draw length influences anchor position, posture, string alignment, and shooting consistency. A bow set too long or too short can make it more difficult to maintain proper shooting form.
When selecting a new bow, we recommend confirming your actual draw length through a proper fitting and evaluating how the bow feels at full draw.
Customizable Let-Off
The RFX Cam System features a manufacturer-listed 85% let-off setting with up to 10 percentage points of let-off adjustment.
This gives shooters the ability to adjust holding weight to better match their preferences and shooting style.
Lower let-off increases the amount of weight held at full draw, while higher let-off reduces holding weight. Some archers prefer a lighter hold for extended aiming, while others prefer more holding weight to maintain tension throughout the shot process.
The correct setting depends on the individual shooter, draw weight, and shot-execution style. Follow Xpedition's adjustment instructions when changing let-off.
6.125-Inch Brace Height
The Xpedition RFX 32 features a 6.125-inch brace height, contributing to its performance-oriented hunting geometry.
Brace height is one of several specifications worth considering when comparing compound bows. A shorter brace height can influence the bow's power stroke and shooting characteristics, but it is not a complete measure of accuracy or forgiveness.
Cam design, draw length, grip consistency, tuning, and shooting form all influence how consistently the bow performs.
For shooters evaluating the RFX 32, we recommend looking at the complete shooting experience rather than making a decision based on brace height alone.
4.6-Pound Bare Bow Weight
The RFX 32 has a manufacturer-listed bare bow weight of 4.6 pounds.
While it is heavier than some of Xpedition's lightweight Magnite bows, additional mass is not necessarily a disadvantage for every shooter.
Some bowhunters prefer the way a bow with more mass settles during aiming, while others prioritize minimizing weight for long walks and mobile hunting.
The finished hunting weight will depend on the sight, arrow rest, quiver, stabilizers, and additional accessories installed.
60- and 70-Pound Draw Weight Options
Xpedition offers the RFX 32 in 60- and 70-pound peak draw-weight configurations, allowing shooters to select a setup appropriate for their strength and hunting requirements.
Choosing the correct draw weight is essential for consistent shooting. A bow should be manageable throughout the draw cycle without excessive movement, struggling, or compromising shooting form.
More draw weight does not automatically result in better hunting performance. Proper arrow selection, shot placement, and consistent execution remain critical.
Multiple Hunting Finish Options
The RFX 32 is offered in Black, Ops Green, Tactical Sand, and Graphite Grey finishes.
These options give hunters a choice between traditional dark finishes and more earth-toned configurations.
Available color and draw-weight combinations may vary based on manufacturer and dealer inventory.
Who It's Built For
The Xpedition RFX 32 is designed for bowhunters who want strong performance, a comfortable draw cycle, and a versatile hunting platform without moving into the highest flagship price category.
It's particularly well suited for shooters who:
- Want a performance hunting bow with a 340 fps IBO rating.
- Prefer a 32-inch axle-to-axle platform for all-around hunting.
- Prioritize draw-cycle comfort and consistent holding characteristics.
- Want adjustable let-off to fine-tune their full-draw holding weight.
- Need a draw length between 25 and 30 inches.
- Prefer 60- or 70-pound peak draw-weight options.
- Hunt whitetails from treestands, saddles, or ground blinds.
- Want a bow suited to both whitetail and Western hunting applications.
- Are upgrading from an older compound bow and want modern performance without flagship pricing.
The RFX 32 is also worth considering for experienced bowhunters looking for a dedicated hunting bow without the additional cost of some premium lightweight materials and features.
For shooters who prioritize the lowest possible bare bow weight, or require a draw length longer than 30 inches, other models within the Xpedition lineup may be a better fit.

Our Take on the Xpedition RFX 32
At Extreme Outfitters, we evaluate compound bows based on the complete shooting experience rather than comparing speed ratings alone.
Draw cycle, valley, holding characteristics, grip, tuning, bow balance, and real-world arrow performance all matter when deciding whether a bow is right for a particular shooter.
What makes the RFX 32 interesting is the combination of performance and price.
With a manufacturer-rated speed of 340 fps and a 32-inch axle-to-axle platform, the RFX 32 offers performance specifications that are worth comparing against more expensive hunting bows.
The RFX Cam System is a major part of that equation. Xpedition designed the cam around a smooth draw-force curve while maintaining strong arrow-speed potential.
We think that approach makes sense. How a bow draws and holds at full draw can be more important to a hunter than a small difference in maximum IBO speed.
The 32-inch axle-to-axle length also provides a versatile option for whitetail hunters. It's not an extremely short bow, but it doesn't require moving into the longer 34- or 35-inch category either.
The adjustable let-off is another feature worth considering. Being able to change holding weight gives shooters additional flexibility when dialing in the bow to their preferred shooting style.
At 4.6 pounds bare, the RFX 32 isn't the lightest bow in Xpedition's lineup. That may matter to hunters who prioritize carrying less weight, but mass weight alone doesn't determine how comfortably a bow holds or aims.
The 6.125-inch brace height also deserves consideration. It contributes to the bow's performance-oriented geometry, but we'd recommend evaluating how the bow actually shoots at your draw length rather than relying on that measurement alone.
Where the RFX 32 stands out on paper is providing an aggressive speed rating, adjustable cam characteristics, and practical hunting geometry at a price point below many flagship bows.
Our recommendation is to compare the RFX 32 against other hunting bows in your budget at your actual draw length and weight. Evaluate the draw cycle, holding characteristics, grip comfort, and how the complete setup balances before making a decision.
For bowhunters who want strong performance without stepping into premium flagship pricing, the Xpedition RFX 32 deserves consideration.
