About Us
Our Story
HYDE FINDER™
Never Lose Your Game Again.
Welcome to the next era in hunting innovation. For generations, hunters have asked the same question after the shot: "Did I make the hit count?" At Rytac Hunt Systems, we've spent years studying that moment, and we set out to create a tool that gives hunters something they've never had before—answers.
Hyde Finder is more than gear. It's an arrow collar system built to change how hunters recover game, how they track, and how they share the hunt.
We could show you everything. We could lay out every detail and every feature...but we won't. Not yet. What's inside this box has already started conversations across hunting circles and forums. Hunters see the yellow and black, the promise on the lid, the blurred-out components, and they ask: What is it? How does it work? That's exactly where we want you...curious.
What we can tell you is this:
- GPS Tracking: precision location data where you need it most.
- Game Recovery: designed for the toughest recovery moments after the shot.
- App Synced: a seamless digital experience tied directly to your hunt.
This isn't a gimmick, and it's not a toy. Hyde Finder is built by hunters, for hunters, with the same attention to flight, weight, and accuracy that you demand from your setup.
At Rytac we are hunters, engineers, and innovators. Our mission is to solve problems hunters have faced for decades and to do it with gear that respects tradition while breaking boundaries. Hyde Finder is the first of many tools that will redefine what's possible in the woods.
The box is ready. The hunt is coming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product Basics
What is the Hyde Finder?
The Hyde Finder is the world’s first GPS enabled arrow collar system designed to help hunters recover game after the shot. When your arrow hits the animal, it deploys a small GPS capsule into the animal, which sends real-time location data to the Hyde Finder mobile app. This allows you to track your game for up to 1.5 miles, dramatically increasing recovery success rates.
How does the Hyde Finder work?
1. The Hyde Finder collar screws into your arrow shaft and your broadhead screws into the front of the Hyde finder. It’s a collar system.
2. On impact, the capsule automatically releases into the animal.
3. The capsule immediately activates and begins transmitting GPS coordinates to your Hyde Finder app.
4. Use your phone to track the animal in real-time until recovery.
Will using the Hyde Finder affect my arrow’s accuracy?
No. The Hyde Finder is engineered to maintain perfect arrow balance and flight. You will be adding some foc, approximately 50 grains which helps with penetration. It has been tested extensively to ensure no noticeable effect on broadhead accuracy, even at longer ranges.
Compatibility
Will the Hyde Finder work with my arrows and broadheads?
The Hyde Finder fits standard hunting arrows with an 8-32 thread broadhead insert, 4mm,5mm, 6.5 mm which covers the majority of compound and crossbow setups. Always check your arrow diameter and setup before purchasing.
Is the Hyde Finder legal for hunting in my state?
In most states, yes. The Hyde Finder is non-barbed and designed to comply with hunting regulations. However, because hunting laws vary by state, we recommend checking your local game laws before use. Laws are still catching up to technology it may just take some time.

Why should I invest in the Hyde Finder instead of relying on traditional tracking?
Losing game is frustrating, costly, and unethical. Hunters spend thousands annually on gear and tags with no guarantees after the shot. The Hyde Finder eliminates uncertainty by giving you real-time tracking data, ensuring you recover more game, save money, and hunt with confidence. There are many reasons. Rytac wanted to help people with sight disabilities, hunting in rain or sub prime weather, new hunters who have a hard time tracking, experienced hunters who wanted to make it easier to recover game before predators arrived and the everyday average hunter who want to cut down on rigorous tracking time being more efficient. While we love traditional tracking we wanted to give hunters a new ethical way to recover game . First of it’s kind .
Durability & Conditions
Is the Hyde Finder waterproof and rugged?
Yes. Both the collar and capsules are fully waterproof and weatherproof, designed to perform in rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
