Core Cam System
The Prime team says their Core Cam is the most tunable and accuracy focused cam system they’ve ever built. The cam draws nice and smooth for a really comfortable cycle, but it’s also built to maximize efficiency and downrange performance.
New for this year, the cam design now includes draw length specific mods.
You’ll need to choose the mod that’s built for your specific draw length. No more one size fits all draw mod.
Why make this move?
The bow engineers at Prime believe doing so allows for maximum efficiency at every draw length. They believe it’s the best way to pull the most performance from the cam system.
Prime bows have long been known to deliver some of the most balanced bows on the market. They use to accomplish this through their parallel cam technology, however, these days their Core cam system allows the brand to maintain superior balance with an inline cam design to simplify the overall performance process.
Center Grip Riser
The bow’s Center Grip riser design places more mass bow weight lower in the riser to improve aiming and stability through the entire shot cycle. Again, it’s a nod to the engineering process that continues to build some of the most balanced bows you’ll ever draw to your cheek.
The Prime team says this allows you to get on target sooner and hold longer. In fact, they’ve said it’s up to 64% more efficient than non-center grip bows.
The Center Grip Riser makes the bow more shooter friendly at the shot, but also makes it an easier carry in the woods, at your side, or over your shoulder. The bow is truly all about balance.
Nano Grip
Prime offers the perfect blend of comfort and consistency with their popular Nano Grip. It’s a pretty slick concept designed to keep your bow grip warm to the touch, even on the most frigid days of deer season.
How do they do it?
The grip is built with an Aerogel technology, a product developed by NASA to combat extreme temperatures. But what that means for bowhunters is that it creates an insulated barrier between a cold aluminum riser and the composite grip.
It’s a grip built for comfort, and comfort leads to consistency. Regardless of the sophisticated technology, however, the bow grip feels good in the hand. So even on days when you don’t need the warmth-to-the-touch benefit in the bow grip, you’ll still shoot with confidence knowing you have a bow grip in hand that allows for a repeatable shot.
Performance on the Range
For a real world look at the performance of the RVX 32 in a hunting setup, I shot my 412 grain Easton Axis arrows through the Garmin XERO chrono.
The test bow was set up at 28″ draw length and maxed out at 70 pounds draw weight.
We put a bunch of shots through the chrono and continued to get high-end speeds of 287 FPS. That’s plenty of speed for my 28″ draw and middle-of-the-road arrow weight for the hunting setup.
With its Swerve Technology the bow is a perfect blend of balance in the hand, creating a super steady hold on target. The unique Swerve design minimizes riser torque, allowing for greater stability throughout the shot cycle.
It’s smooth on the draw, quiet on the shot, and as mentioned above, has all the speed you need in the whitetail woods.
The RVX 32 is another very shooter-friendly offering from the Prime team. In fact, Prime fans will quickly come to know it as the best of all things in Prime technology and shootability.
The bow comes in a variety of camo and color finish options, as well as Prime’s unique G-Fade option. The G-Fade design is a smooth blend of solids and industry-leading camo patterns. It take versatility to the next level with a solid color riser for hunting in a blind, while the outer camo pattern allows for coverage when you’re in the treestand.
The bow sells for $1,199 and includes free bowstrings for life once the bow is registered. Check it out at your local Prime dealer, or online at www.g5prime.com.
