Quest Primal

One of the impressive new bows to hit the market in 2011 has come from a company that has only recently entered the compound bow market. G5 Outdoors is an archery accessory specialist that has jumped into the compound bow making business with a series of innovations to give shooters a new option for their money.

 

The Quest bow that has really made a splash has been the Quest Primal a compound bow that has been designed to deliver speed from a lightweight frame. The bow has been packed with  features that serve to provide a smooth draw and options that the hunter will appreciate, both when carrying the bow and using it on the ground or treestand.

 

Firstly, it is worthwhile taking a look at the specs of the bow. This tells us quite a lot about the bow and whether it is likely to meet our shooting needs.

 

Draw Length: 26.5"-30" in 1/2" increments
Peak Draw Weights – 40-50, 50-60, 60-70 lbs.
Axle to Axle 32” +/- 3/16”
Brace Height 7-1/8” +/- 1/8”
IBO Speed (Approx.) 330-332
Mass Weight 3.9 lbs
Let Off 80%

Available in right and left hand

 

Features of the bow that makes it stand out surround the cam system and the fact that it is a two track modular cam system that has been synchronized to ensure the draw is smooth and even. It is also designed to help in the delivery of a great deal of power. Speeds well in excess of 300 feet per second are the kinds of things that many hunters would be salivating over.

 

The weight of the bow is another nice little selling point. Having to carry around a heavy bow all day is going to sap your strength and when you start off with a bow that weighs under 4 pounds will be a nice relief.

 

The last thing to take note of with the Primal is the relatively short frame of the bow. With an axle to axle measurement of around 32 inches, this is a bow that will be less likely to snag on the undergrowth as you creep through.

Anyone who is willing to try out a compound bow that comes from a manufacturer other than the main 3 or 4 is going to be pleasantly surprised when they try out the Primal. It is an impressive bow and you should definitely consider shooting it.
