It's PRIME Time! Prime Black 3 Review

[@DigtoDef]

Thanks so much for providing the arrow weight and velocity for your bow reviews! As it turns out, compound bows are essentially constant kinetic energy launchers, especially for the 380gr - 532gr arrow weight range you tested. That makes sense in that the energy stored in the limbs at full draw is constant at a fixed draw length. What this means is that if you know the arrow weight and launch velocity for one arrow weight, you can estimate the launch velocity of a different arrow weight to within a few fps (within 4 fps for this bow and the tested weight range) by assuming that the launch energy is constant and backing out the velocity from E= 1/2mV*V. It would be really neat if you also tested a heavy arrow weight and reported the velocity - say an 800 grain arrow for instance, and let's see if the launch energy remains constant from 380gr all the way out to 800gr.

Just got my first bow today. Went home with a Black 3. Thanks so much for all your great review videos.

[@cacheduininck8912]

I just bought one too! Do you like it? I love mine.

[@chickimac1]

Just bought a Black 1. Can’t wait to get it set up!

Excellent review and I have kept my eye on PRIME as of the last few years, but never handled one outside of holding my one buddy's and my cousin's PRIME Centergy and Logics. I am left eye dominate but right handed, they had right handed bows. Plus there was not many actual Pro Shops around just big box stores that don't handle any of the flagship type brands. However recently a pro shop opened not too far from me and I went to check it out a couple days ago. Well I wasn't going to buy anything I just wanted to check out the shop and experience the mid level to flagship models that Cabela's/Bass Pro doesn't handle. It just so happened that the owner had a Mathew's Halon 6 he used for indoor shooting for $650 and a barely shot outside of dialing it in PRIME Black 3 in Grizzly Brown and Realtree Escape camo for $600. I need to put accessories on it, but I am excited that after 14 years of using my first and only bow in the PSE Fire Flite 33 from 06, I have a new bow to shoot and use. I still plan on getting my first deer or two with the old bow, before relegating her to backup status.

I’m still in love with my Vertix!!!!!!!!!

[@burna803]

So how does the prime black series stacks up to the pse evo nxt series? Im stuck on a 31 or 33 inch bow from either company

[@kivenkantaja454]

Why are the firstlite fusion limbs so different? Sometimes they are more brown, sometimes more green

[@orlandocurtis3093]

Great review as all ways!!!

[@ryanrainville1041]

Do the black series bows have a rear stabilizer mount?

[@hondas2ooo]

Did u ever do a black 1 review?

[@spencerlooney2495]

Hey brother .....where did you attach the Hamskea cable on the Prime ? The axle on the cam or further up on the limb ? Thanks .

[@russelllieser4226]

What is the difference between 3 and 5

[@ObelixCMM]

33 inch ATA vs 35 inch

[@russelllieser4226]

Thanks. So with a 31 inch draw a 5 would be for me?

@@russelllieser4226 Stop at your local store and try both, how they feel to you is much more important than our opinion.

[@bigjohnson4427]

Let’s see a prime setup and tune. You reviewed the black 5 which is the same as the black 3 just different ata. I shoot the black 3.

[@bmills231]

Different brace height as well.

[@InsideOutPrecision]

I would, but people pay me to work on their bows/tune them. Can't give away all my secrets for free haha

[@bigjohnson4427]

Inside Out Precision like that answer!! But help us prime guys out!!! Your a little to far from me, like across the country far hahha

[@wyleyveinot6540]

what are you going to shoot this year for a hunting bow?

[@mikemadsen7136]

I just bought a black 3, I couldn't hear it in the shop when I was test shooting but now I'm home in the back yard i can hear a bit of "twang". all screws appear to be snugged down tight.. any thoughts on quieting it down?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Put some monkey tails on each cable and the string. The dont come stock with any!

[@Erikfl348]

Quick question what do you recomend fast Eddie xl or Cbe tek hybrid pro

[@ViewIndepth]

You probably decided but i am having a few issues with my cbe... soo yeah

[@nolanvanetten9932]

Whats the string angle like? Any different from lets say a traverse because the nock point is higher?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Not really, felt very similar to my Traverse

[@Canelkather]

How about a Bowtech Revolt X review?? Deadlock, super smooth...

[@InsideOutPrecision]

We don't sell Bow Tech, although I have shot one and it shot well...until we put it through the chronograph. Even ok. The performance setting it was 8-10 fps slower than other bows with the same speed rating. Just n ok t very efficient with heavier arrows. Other than that I liked it.

[@Canelkather]

Inside Out Precision Cool! That’s good to know. It seems like some other reviews had it a bit slower on the chrono. Thanks a lot for the reply. I am a subscriber for sure. Keep putting out the great vids and have fun.

[@steverickert212]

so which do you like better the Black 3 or your Traverse. I"m curious because I have narrowed my search down to these two this year.

[@arar8776]

What color is that bow

[@InsideOutPrecision]

FUSION

[@africanwidow]

Hi Inside Out! It seemed like every time you reached or almost reached full draw... it made a noticeable click or clinking sound! Is that normal? I watched it again, click sound for the 30" and 28". WTCrap?

[@ObelixCMM]

Could be limb driven rest?

[@fatherandsonarchery7382]

Love your reviews...always super informative! I do have one question, would you know if you can order white limbs with the new Prime bows?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Maybe on the target models, but not on the hunting models

[@RobertWilliams82-22]

So would you give up your Mathews for a Prime??? I was just given a prime Rize to learn on and plan on buying a new bow next year and don’t really like the prime dealer I have here but love my prime... the bow shop I do like has Mathews and hoyts though

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Nah I'm still shooting my Mathews!

Difference from a CT3?

[@ObelixCMM]

Draw length change is by rotating module, on CT3 you need new cams for every DL

[@barrettkegley2086]

@@ObelixCMM anything else? Or pretty much the same bow? I liked the CT3, didn't shoot the Black at the ATA show though.

[@ObelixCMM]

@@barrettkegley2086 Looks like same riser to me, I shot both of them and they felt same (I didn't shoot them same day so I could be wrong)

DL adjustment, cable stops only, riser design change slightly and they added another yoke system to the cables.

[@ryanbenedict2021]

Black 3 available in 80lb?
