Anyone Shooting Prime?

[HootCamo]

I'm looking at the Prime RVX 32. Anyone shooting it? I'm going back and forth between that and the Mathews. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I shoot a old Rize still and shot an Inline 3 last year. I've had zero issues with Prime and my old Rize still puts out the same speeds as most . I shot the Form this year and was very impressed.

The thing that sells me on Prime (outside of they shoot great) is that you get free strings and cables every two years for LIFE. That is a killer value especially since my shop just lets me do it. Not all will though.

I did not know about the free strings and cables.

I'll be taking the Prime route. Thanks for the info!

I shoot a RVX 32. I went to the bow shop dead set on buying a Matthew‘s because I wanted top of the line and something that I knew had good resale so I could upgrade in a few years. After shooting both, the Matthews did not feel nearly as balanced. I love the center grip on the prime and I felt like I could hold back way more weight. I’ve shot the prime for two years now and I’m still in love with it.

I shot a centergy for 5-6 years. Great now, shot well with it. I now have a revex 4, super smooth draw and shoots well. I think the revex and rvx models are really good.

had the Revex 4, and then the Revex 2 (same basically as the RVX). I loved the Revex 4, and I did not care for the 32 at all really. I felt the 34 worked with me and the 32 fought me if that makes sense. The draw on the 34 was better, it was easier to shoot, more stable at full draw... just better all around. This was my experience.

In contrast, I had the Vista 33 and the Vista 31, both 2022 models. I experienced the opposite with those 2. I really liked the 33, but I loved the 31. I shot it better period than the 33.

What this proves is it is really important to try before you buy if you can. Some folks say the Lift 33 is very smooth. I shot it at 60, 65, and 70 pounds. To me it was OK at 60, but I didn't like it any higher.

Still shooting a pair of (9 and 10 year-old) Prime Rivals. 35" Axle to Axle bows with an IBO rating of 340 fps and 6-1/2" brace height. They shoot very well for me, exhibiting good accuracy under mountain hunting conditions...better than my previous shorter Mathews Creed and way better than the Hoyt Carbon Element. 29-1/4" draw on my set ups.

They are stable and hold well without a stabilizer, just with a Black Gold sight and TightSpot quiver. Not overly heavy either at 4.3#s for the bare bow. With a few silencers on them they are quiet enough....Catwhiskers on string, X-factors between the two short cables top and bottom, a silencer off a Bowtech on the cable guard, and a modified Sims Limbsaver silencer on the string stop (cored a hole in it then slid it onto the carbon rod an inch from the riser).

Getting 4 free string sets over the years for the bow I purchased new is a great deal. Strings are decent too, never had issues with them. Fit and finish is excellent and has held up in the field the best of any bow I've owned.

I have a Prime Ronan on order at our local Scheels store (going on 4 weeks). They are a Prime dealer but stock very few if any models for trying out. I will have opportunity to shoot when it arrives and if I don't like it can get a refund, but based on comments I am pretty sure I will like it. This is the first bow I ordered with 50# limbs as I have been shooting 60# dialed back to about 55#.

Mdodern bows are universally good at the level you're choosing from. It's just what feels or shoots better for you. One of my hunting buddies has a Prime bow, can't remember what model. It's been flawless for him over the past few years. You're in the "can't go wrong" zone.
