hey guys Dan Pickar = here with Eastman's Bowhunting journal today
we're gonna review the Prime Black 3 we're gonna do something a little
different today and new and exciting we're actually gonna give this bow away
but we'll get back to that after the end of the video so Prime Black 3 they made
a few different in the Black Series this year of the 3 refers to the 33 inch axle
to axle which this bow is there's the 31 which is the black one the 35 the black
5 and then even the 9 the 39 inch axel axel bow what's cool this year is the
roto cam technology it's the same parallel cam design that Prime has
always gone to in the past but they made it really easy with this module system
changing the draw length from 25 and 1/2 to 31 inches so you don't need a bow
press you can do all that right here with an allen key and set the draw
length to whatever you are we have the c-max rest on it from G5 as well spot
hog sight also we have the synergy technology which we've seen in the past
from prime and what that does is it puts the balance point of the bow right at
the top of the grip and that in turn allows the arrow to be above Center when
you shoot the bow so they make up for the string pull it's a bigger cam up
here smaller cam down here so it's a little bit different than any other bow
you'll take a look at but what it does is puts more weight below your grip and
so the bow naturally just wants to balance and stay still at full draw the
technology that's worked and they've stuck with it the black series is
obviously a very sleek stealthy looking bow so today I grab three arrows from
the office to shoot out of here first we have the victory VAP this is actually an
older arrow shaft 350 spine arrow this arrow weighs 400 grains
that'll be the lightest one the next one is the arrow tech a K this is the 300
spine this is a standard size woven carbon and this is 463 grains
it's kind of a sweet spot as far as I'm concerned when it comes to a good
hunting arrow wait lastly we have the Easton FMJ he's been around for a long
time heavy arrow this is a 300 spine in this thing weighs what is it five
hundred and eighteen grains these are what I weighed it out to be so heavy
arrow this is your moose arrow this is your penetrator so we have a good
variety of three different arrow weights to shoot out of here let's see what kind
of speeds that we can get okay so once again this is a 33 inch axel - axel 6.5
inch brace height this one's set at 29 inches Ibo at this draw link should be
somewhere around 318 yeah let's see what kind of speeds we're gonna get this is a
pretty light arrow this is going to be the fastest one out of the three for
sure with prime the the back wall is always a trait that I'd notice when I
draw these bows back it's a nice crisp break over into the back wall very easy
and pleasant to hold a full draw alright here we go
that's a 400 grain arrow that's 305 feet per second that's pretty quick and
that's going to be the fastest of these three just because the weight for some
applications I like a 400 grain arrow but overall I'd say it's a little bit
light from what I like to hunt with okay up next is the arrow tech this is a a
k300 spine arrow 463 grains out of this one it's a standard size arrow shaft
I like these shafts are spiral carbon woven super tough arrow let's see what
we get 287 to be expected when it comes to a hunting arrow I really don't like
anything over 300 feet per second just can make broad head flight a little more
erratic your accuracy probably goes down a little bit so anything from 285 to 300
feet per second is perfect I think when it comes to a honey arrow speed okay
lastly we have the Easton FMJ this is a 300 spy
arrow as well obviously we have carbon on the inside and aluminum on the
outside and this one's cut pretty long 518 grains so this is your moose arrow
for you it should hit pretty hard and man 518 grains I'm gonna say somewhere
270 feet per second is a guess 272 I like that but that really quieted my bow
down heavier arrow to be expected really no complaints okay so the cool thing
about this is we're gonna give this bow away this is a 2020 bow so whoever wins
this bow is pretty lucky because this is a brand new bow we're gonna give this
thing away within two weeks we want you to be able to shoot it and get
comfortable with it before bow season so what I need you to do is send this link
to a buddy number one make sure your subscribe to the Eastmans' channel
