Imagine picking up a 33-inch bow that feels almost weightless, settles like a target rig, and tunes in under a minute without touching a press. That’s where our conversation with Jared McCoy from Xpedition Archery lands as we dive into the NexLight series, a complete rethink of what “light, strong, and simple” can mean for bowhunters who live in treestands and saddle platforms, not just on spec sheets.

We unpack Magnite—the metal nano-composite alloy at the heart of Xpedition’s risers—and why machining it delivers carbon-like weight with the repeatability that serious tuning demands. From there, we walk through the new riser geometry that looks and feels lighter, a cam system that stays smooth with a firm, sponge-free back wall, and quarter-inch draw modules that let you trim fit instead of compromising. The valley is generous without being lazy, and adjustable let-off options let you match hold and shot execution to the hunt. At sub-four pounds—3.6 on the 30 and 3.75 on the 33—you keep the advantage of a featherweight platform while adding stabilizer weight only where it matters.

The X-Loc tuning system is the quiet hero: indexed shims that slide in from the back, no press required, no infinite rabbit holes. Start with a 13/16-inch center shot, set your nocking point, and you’re chasing perfection in minutes, not hours. We also get hands-on with Xpedition’s integrated accessories: eight-ounce quivers, a sub-four-ounce bow stand that folds into the cam on an M-LOK interface, and hardware that keeps the bow light and balanced rather than loading it down.

We talk dealer-first strategy—no direct bow sales—and why that matters for service, education, and growing new archers. Each bow is built to order with premium ABB strings and deep customization at no upcharge, backed by responsive support and fast lead times. And yes, we cover the “Magnite Tough” torture tests: freezing, soaking, dragging, and still shooting. Add in real-world setup tips, long-range practice benefits, and how grip redesign reduces torque, and you’ve got a clear picture of why more shooters are asking to try the NexLight by name.

If you’re ready to feel the difference, stop by your local pro shop, ask for the NexLight 30 and 33, and put them side by side with your favorites. Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with a bowhunter who loves gear that just works.
