Compound Bow Comparator

The Impact is a flat out shooter for any archery style. The price tag may be a little steep for some, but when shooters consider the true multipurpose use of this rig, it may be a little more justifiable. The worst part about the bow is that Prime is still in the beginning stages of producing bows, which may make it difficult to find a local shop carrying the Impact. Prime has proven to be a great company with some super technology, but they are still expanding to all parts of the country. Shooters wanting a new bow for 2013 should hunt one of these down to give it a try. They are well worth a test shoot for any archer in the market for a new bow. Read full review...

The G5 Prime Centroid has an extremely smooth draw due to all of the innovative technology that has been put into this aspect of the bow. The backwall on this bow does not get any better. The brace height and draw cycle make a great combination for comfort. It isn't real fast, but it is not a slow shooting bow either. The Parallel Cam and Ti-Glide flex cable guard are unique and somewhat ground breaking. However, it's not the most affordable bow given its MSRP price tag of $999. Read full review...
