- Introducing the 2022 Prime Inline Compound Bow: bit.ly/3DpJwbR
Prime ditched the parallel cam system this year to help reduce weight, reduce vibration, and bring simplicity to 2022 Inline cam system. As the cams begin to rotate, the cables move Inline with the string track, making this the first balanced single track cam system. This means more consistent arrow flight, and tighter groups! Be sure to stop by our pro shop to give these bows a try!
sounds like they nailed it with these... well other than the fact I liked the way the double cams looked :)
I shot the 3 and 5 today and I was blown by them...great bows. Nice job Prime!
Did u reply is it a scam thst number it says to text?
Mathews, PSE & Primes new bows are really awesome. The slight changes, quality ect are super nice. Cant go wrong with either of them.
Very disappointed that they topped all three at 30.5in draw length especially on the 5 with a 35 ATA.
Scam,?
@@blackarm3265 No, not a scam; A conspiracy: the 32nd and 33rd degree masons were knocked off, so the ones at the top now are the 30.5 degree masons. They're taking over and making a statement.
Been wanting to shoot a prime bow.
No can do. No 32 in draw availability
Brother man it's called an inch
d loop real hard for people to get a 31 and 32-in draw they should have a way to get it there for people I hear it more and more!!!
Great job on the review and the best explanation of the cam system I have seen.
Great review PJ, but really disappointed that Prime isn't offering a long draw option for 2022. I'm 31 inches with a caliper release, 31.5 with handheld, and I saw someone else post that they are 32 inches. I guess Prime felt there aren't enough long draw archers buying their bows to justify making them😥
This is a good review. Lots of specifics to the bow and how those things are relevant. So many reviews just read back the marketing material and don’t actually say anything.
I've had no issues with noise with my Nexus 4. The same with my 2017 Centergy that I bought through Lancaster. I own a Nexus cuz the nano grip has the right feel & I live & hunt in MN. Both my Prime bows r quiet with a Conquest Control Freak stabilizer & an arrow setup that is over 550 grains. These new bows these days might not hit the IBO. However they won't dump speed when shooting an arrow with a heavier weight.
Great review PJ! Thanks for the details on the cams, pocket, and spacers
I will have to try one out. I had an old Centroid and it was a fun bow, but loud as heck. I loved the parallel cam, and I hope they will still have a parallel option.
The inline system sounds identical to the Helical cam system Martin Archery came out with three years ago.
Pj riely is the best character he super friendly an extremely knowledgeable if I was putting someone on to archery he would be my pickthink lancaster archery 🏹should be Glad they got em 🤙
They should keep paralel cam... i think new research is needed for reducing the weight and vibration without changing the cam..
Great review PJ.... 👍⚡
Exactly...couldn't agree more!
I would equate this move to Mathews moving away from their solo cam bows (which put them on the archery map). Prime are nice bows, but you need to live near a dealer to have them serviced. My closest Prime dealer went out of business. The next closest one dropped the brand. I traveled 115 miles one way to have my free cables/string replaced last spring. I've been shooting the Prime Impact since 2013. I don't see myself ever replacing it. It's solid, accurate, quiet, & the speeds of compound bows haven't changed much at all the past 10 years or so. I can easily get 3-4 years out of the cables/string. I am on third set (2nd free ones) this year. The free cables/string for the lifetime of the bow is a nice perk even if you have to travel a distance to find a dealer. I can honestly say I wouldn't be as drawn to these new bows. Having to change out spacers doesn't sound appealing at all. I really like my solid limb, parallel cams with limb stops found on my Prime Impact, & it still slings arrows at the same speeds of today's newer compound bows. Some day the value of my cables/string replacements will surpass what I paid for the bow brand new.
I couldn't agree more with your comment. I have the Centergy 33 and just like you, I have no reason to change. As a semi retired dual qualified Engineer, I remain of the firm view that the single limb, parallel cam combination is the most robust, torque free and consistantly accurate combination available. Prime have made a fatal mistake in departing from the original design concept, starting with the split limb Logic/CT series. As with, the subsequent Black and Nexus series, they were excellent bows, but their integral torque test results were inferior to the Centergy 33 and Centergy Hybrid. I could rattle on as to the technical reasons why, but It really doesn't matter...point is, I think your opinion is spot on.
IMO they should put the swerve on the opposite side of the riser, to offset the weight of the sight window and accessories. Not to mention the weight of a quiver.
I've never understood things that "Shift" during a draw cycle because the inline only occurs at one point, full draw, but there's more to a draw cycle than just at full draw. Ie.the inline is going back to out of line once the shot is made.
Bought inline 5 after shooting several bows. It is fantastic!
I thought those double cams from old prime were ugly an 7 strings to replace maybe prime becomes valid contender
Now it looks like every other bow. Great technology.
Im seriously considering switching to prime from bowtech
Wanted to watch this, saw the comments where the bow tops out at 30.5" draw length, stopped the video.
About time they changed...awesome
No spacer removal tool with the bow purchase, but they give you the extra spacers. That's a real dick move. That alone assures that I'll never buy a Prime bow. When their parallel cams came out, I knew those were going to be a huge pain-in-the-ass to work on, and make strings for. This lack of a tool is enough to make up my mind to not buy these Inline cam bows.
I DO love my brand new 2018 Quest Thrive, though (my dealer had a few left new in the box and he sold it to me at cost). It's a simple design. I just had to flip the cam spacers left-to-right to shift the cams over for a perfect bullethole. It's also a rock-solid design and shooting lights. This bow is dead in the hand and extremely quiet.
I like simple. KEEP IT SIMPLE, PRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The draw cycle of the parallel cam prime i shot was the smoothest bow ive shot but also had the highest vibrstion which is why i didnt buy it
Great review PJ.
good they brought back limb stop, and got rid of that crappy parallel cam system, they will sell allot more bow now! But really is they used new PSE NC cam with a limb draw stop they would be number 1, they would have speed and the best cam system on the market IMO.
I think my next bow is going have to be an apa archery new bow is fast and in my opinion better than any bow aout there
Help! I need a new compound bow. What's the best hunting bow I can get for a budget for a beginner? I have a 26 inch draw.
So 35 is the longest they are going this year?
Now if you buy the bow and have it shipped do you still get free strings for life?
This bow is a Pro Shop only bow, so it's not sold by dealers online.....
They should have just stayed with the solid limbs and pxl cams. As soon as they started to be like every other manufacturer they lost their way. Ion will always be their best bow
IBO speeds have Zero basis on reality. Too bad companies like Lancaster wouldn’t just stop reporting them and simply go with reality based chrono speeds. It’s called truth in marketing, and the IBO farce doesn’t cut it. Otherwise, great review and product there PJ.
It's funny...I went with a Nexus 6 this season (away from my Hoyt loyalty)...I originally wanted the PSE 34 EVL (which to me felt just as good as the Mathews...it was a toss up, but EVERYONE was buying the Mathews). Then the tech talked me into shooting the Prime. Walked out with it that day, and loved the fact it was different and held better with the smoothest draw cycle. I will definitely be checking out the Inline... hopefully it feels just as good. Maybe get the 3 as full time hunting bow and use my 6 for 3D exclusively.
Not having the tool available for the owners is moronic. I won't buy it simply on that point alone.
Well the in-line 5 isn’t very fair on the DL only going to 30’5 should be out 32/33 DL what a disappointment on a 35 ATA bow sorry to say it’s a thumbs down for me, PJ great review mate
yep, I also need 31 to 31.5 so very disappointing to see this limitations...
@@WM-jy9dz yes mate it’s bloody disrespectful and unfair to us longer DL people
What's the likely hood of ever getting an 90 or 95lb model bow
About the same as Prime providing a 32 inch draw length option for 2022?
So i assume its easier to torque this bow now since they went back to a single cam system.
Exactly what I was thinking
The dual cam was actually MUCH more prone to inaccuracies due to torque. Bigger surface area torquing more effect on the arrow itself. This will take away a lot of that user induced grip torque effect on the shot. It’s going to be quite a bit more forgiving in that aspect.
@@Midwstmauler With the utmost respect, your comment is demonstrably incorrect. Independent testing done by Joe Marzulo showed the Prime dual cam bows had some of the very best results; the Centergy 33 being the only bow that gave zero torque. Single cam premium bows from companies such as Hoyt gave terrible results.
;
@@willshunting correct. Done through a machine. When you add anything user induced outcomes become drastically different. I am specifically referring to user (human) induced torque at the shot. Read through some forums on AT about this specifically. I wasn’t saying prime is a bow prone to torque itself, I was simply stating that anything user induced imo is magnified with the parallel cam system. I love prime bows, and have shot them almost exclusively the last 5 years. I still believe moving to a single cam will fix many of the complaints in the bow having a “picky grip placement”.
@@Midwstmauler Thank you for your patient clarification. As a qualified Engineer, I am a little puzzled as to how the parallel cams system would exacerbate poor bow hand position given that the string remains centred by the top and bottom yokes. In that connection, I would remind you, that irrespective of whether a bow is a dual or single cam based system, just after release of the D-loop at full draw, there are only two points of contact between the arrow and the bow that can translate torque ( be it integral design or inappropriate hand hold induced), those points being; arrow shaft/rest fork and arrow nock/string nock point. Moreover, once the drop away rest fork has disengaged from the shaft, only the subsequent arrow nock/string nock point contact is present to impart a torque induced lateral vector to the arrow nock until the nock disengaged off the knocking point. Thus, I can understand a suggestion that the Prime hold point design(s) might be 'fickle' (not something I've found), but I cannot see how the parallel cams would structurally and/or dynamically make any difference. All that said, I am open to being disabuse by any specific factors I'm overlooking. All the best and stay well.
does is have a rear stabilizer mount hole?
Have a bowtech destroyer 350 4 trade...in Pennsylvania area
For the love of god get rid of the Flexis it crap and will explode like they always do. I have a Nexus 4 and have gone through one. Not sure about lateral cam movement and longevity. May hold off until this cam system is proven reliable.
Price? Actual ibo speeds with different weight arrows? That would be helpful thanks
$1200ish
Quick question is Hoyt going to have a new year bow release???
Yes they are.
max. DL for all Prime Inlines only 30.5?.....👎👎👎disappointing....
Might be a great bow would like to shoot it. However the look throws me off looks like a budget bow
Lol couldn't be more wrong
@@timothylove8839 maybe you couldn’t be more wrong
Has anyone had limbs getting spider cracks from limb stops, from different companies?
I have a Prime Logic from a while back with limb stops. Haven't had any issues
@@christopherbegbie6347 every Bear bow I have had even newer one's, ended up having limb problems, didn't know if it was due to the limb stops or just the limbs.
This bow doesent look nearly as stable or dead in the hand in the slomo as the nexus. Anyone have any opinions. I was huge on how dead the nexus was.
PSE Brute NXT 3.5 lbs.
Such a pain in the ass to tune the bow. Not only you need to press the bow but also dismantle the axles. Why in heal anyone will buy something like this when Bowtech and Elite are screws only.
Sometimes I am simply amazed. Lets not forget older bows with hybrid cam systems or Overdrive binary. Just a pleasure to tune the bow. Wow technology is going backwards. 2 year old Hoyt hybrid cam easy to tune no need to dismantle. I have the feeling that Prime wants to commit a financial suicided . Man put yoks like like Bowtech / Hoyt older models or screws like Bowtech and Elite and forget about all this nonsense. Even Darton now has equlizer cams with yoks . PSE is bringing back yoks because they know nobody like to dismantle the bow to tune it. If Prime had no market shares before now they are completely done.
I regret I bought my first prime which is the nexus
Very hard to tune
@@saulgood6190 I just can't get rid of a nock low tear
I tried everything
Adding twists to the top cable and moved only bottom draw stop tried all different spine arrows
@@greekmaster1001 I am by far not an expert, but have you tired raising your knock point or lowering the the arrow rest?
Seems like this year's bows are getting slower
Maybe because while speed sells, shoot ability and accuracy are more important for customer satisfaction. Ask anyone who has ever had their shoulder nearly wrenched from its socket while just slightly relaxing their back tension on a PSE Omen and they will say the same. I think the industry has hit a wall with speed.
Bow engineering has totally hit a wall, not just speed. Imo the only thing in play right is is making it possible and easy for people to work on their own bow without a press, otherwise it’s just personal preferences in play when selecting a rig. The flagship bows are pretty cookie cutter….
@@richstafford1245 I agree. I wish they would work on making flagship bows affordable. I think $1200 for a bow is insane.
@@flipfinish The Basin/Terrain from Elite and the Altera from PSE are quite affordable and have plenty of quality feats from the flagship models. Don't forget also that in 2021 Douglas won the Vegas with a cheap Supra Focus 37 and not with the top of the line PSE target bow. So neither at hunting nor target or 3D you need to burn thousands to achieve success.
@@Buran01 in 2021 Kyle shot the Citation which was PSE's top of the line target bow and in 2020 he shot the Supra Focus which again was top of the line for the year
woooooooo
All too short for me (ATA) as a finger shooter.
Or are they going to let others try to catch up this year.
Sounds like a gimmick to me. This is no different than pse having different weight limbs on the same bow, and when the arrow is being launched the cam is going back to its crooked state again.
molto bello quanto costa
If quad cams were really better then every company would have used them. Same with this, gimmicks passed off as innovation. If it was the best way to do it, everyone would do it
I'm willing to bet that these are going to give very poor bow torque test results...hope I'm proven wrong. Pretty sure this was manufacturing cost driven rather than striving for the best bow performance and accuracy. Lost me G5.
This a bad idea prime not good
So now they are like everyone else....... so disappointing
No bueno, I shoot a 31" draw.
Stop saying mass wait mass and weight are the same thing just say total weight
Not true. Weight is the effect of gravity on your mass. Your weight on the moon is 0, your mass remains the same as it did on earth...I do see your point tho, in this situation the mass of the bow and the weight of the bow are the same
@@darrenfraser2898 ah haaaa copy
@@MondernMan thanks, that is obviously another common misconception because most people are taught that items on the moon are "weightless" but at 1/6th the weight on earth, that clearly is not the case.
Meh
The cable guides are still trash thats what they need to re-engineer!
I literaly looks like an exact knock off of the Hoyt Ventum 30.. Bet its going to be Expencive..I was impressed with Hoyts changes .. this isnt impressive.. This is just falling in line with market standards! Looks like a de-railer for sure!!
Very ugly risers.
meh
