Who here owns a Prime Impact?

[rhendrix]

Picked one up on a trade to tinker with, should have it middle of next week, heard they are a dream to shoot. Anyone using for elk or mule deer that can give me some real world chrono numbers?

I have a centroid and love to shoot it. It is one of my favorite bows I've ever owned. The impact is high on my list for a new bow.

I've got a prime shift and love it. Tunes extremely easy. It kills stuff I point it at, never bothered to chrono it.

Evan and I set mine up at the shop after I got it and I shot it through the chrono.
424 gr at 299 fps, 70.2 lbs at 29.75" draw length, short posted the draw stop to 70% letoff.

Had it a few months, shoots great but when fully rigged out it is heavy.

Love mine. I busted up my sight last week but starting to get it back into shooting shape this week. Its a tack driver no doubt. As Jason pointed out, its a bit heavy but for how well it shoots its worth every ounce

445 gr at 286. 70# or so and 28" draw

Like the previous post, I really enjoy mine and it's a great shooting bow.

70ish# 30" draw
440 gr @ 294 fps
500 gr @ 282 fps

How much did your bows weigh after being fully rigged out? Anyone use a side bar to counter them?

 

[AitchAr]

I'll try to get a weight for you later today. I also run an 8" bee stinger side bar.

 

[rhendrix]

Sweet, thanks man.

I'm using a b-stinger offset with a 6" b-stinger with 4 oz of weight up front.

 

[AitchAr]

Sweet, thanks man.

Rounded up, it weighs 8# (7.89).

This includes: 5 pin hogg father, tight spot, 5 arrows @ 438 gr each, qad hdx rest, 10" bee stinger front stabilizer with 2 oz of weight and a quick release, and an 8" bee stinger side bar with 4 oz and a quick release.

Great shooting bows. The new Alloy is a great bow as well and real world weight feels a lot lighter than what the spec sheet shows. All of the Primes are super easy to set up, tune and to shoot. I liken it to a heavy barrel rifle the way they sit on target.

Set it up yesterday and just didn't enjoy shooting it like I thought I would, I'm sure if I keep shooting it I'll enjoy it, but I have a bow I love already, so I'm in going to keep looking.

One thing I did enjoy, which completely shocked me, and is a testament to their parallel cam technology, was how fast I was able to set my center shot and get a bullet hole. Pretty cool stuff.
