hey guys dan pickar here with eastman's bow hunting journal and beyond the grid tv today we're going
to do a bow review on the prime inline one be sure you subscribe to the channel and check out all the
bow reviews that we do i love geeking out on all the new bows each year and we do a lot of them so
be sure you uh get in on those and sometimes even do giveaways you never know what's going to pop up
so right into the prime inline one they also have an inline three and in line five all corresponding
to the axle to axle this is the 31 inch of course the 33 for the 3 and the 35 for the 5.
new this year you'll you'll see is a lot different actually is the single cam prime bows for the past
i don't know how long have been a dual cam bow a parallel cam bow technology and they've gotten
away from that pretty cool new technology that they've created and we'll get to that in a second
also for this year is the nano grip which is the aerogel technology which was new last
year really cool grip it's basically a aerospace component in there that insulates your hand from
the cold machined riser so the longer you hold on to it the warmer it gets that's pretty sweet
swerve in the riser other than that this is a seven inch brace height bow so a little bit
more forgiving than a lot of performance bows out there once again this is a 31 inch axle to axle
ibo is 332 a little slower compared to some of the other bows but once again the brace height
has a direct correspondence to that the cool thing about this cam system is it has a sliding module
so you can adjust your draw length and your let off with your limb stop right here you can adjust
all that at home in a matter of seconds really so that's pretty slick to have and you'll see it's
just it's very simplistic now and which is good i mean as the boys at prime say as technology
advances things should become more simple and i couldn't agree more and that's what they kind of
shot at uh this year was to simplify from the past you have this parallel cam technology and
that basically alleviates any of that cam lean that you're going to have at full draw
or in the resting position and that is from the string tracks on either side of the cable which
is in the dead center of that cam in the dead center of the axle as well and so at full draw
that helps prevent that cam lean hence the parallel cam technology
now what they did this year with the new technology is they accomplished the same thing
but they got rid of a cam less bulk less weight and becoming more simple which is awesome
and so that brings us to the newest piece of technology for prime and this bow the inline
series and that is the cable track so you have the cable of your bows that are the driving power
of your bow this is where the load goes and this is where all the the energy is stored
when you're at full draw right now in the resting position the string and the cables are roughly
50 percent uh as far as the tension goes on this bow so 50 percent of the tension
is on the string right now 50 is on the cables as you draw that bow back it starts shifting
so you have less and less tension on the string you hit that peak and then that valley
and you have all that tension that comes off the string and it's loaded up on those cables and so
you almost have quadruple the amount of tension and force loaded on your cables as you do to your
string so that's why you have that cam lean for most bows because the cables they're on one side
of the cam and you're not center in the axle so it's off-center but with this in-line technology
what they've done is created this ramp they've machined a ramp in to the cam so as you draw
that bow back your cable is becoming more in line with center so by time you get to full draw
that cable is dead center in the middle of your axle
left and right because of what they machined with the inline technology so that prevents the cam
lean and just makes a platform that is easier to tune it's going to have less knock travel
and it's overall going to be a more accurate bow plain and simple so that's pretty cool technology
what we're gonna do today is shoot it through the chronograph see what kind of speeds we're getting
and maybe critique the draw cycle a little bit and just see how this bow feels on the shot
okay the two arrows that we're going to test today are the aerotech
mt-300s these arrows are weighing in
473 i was shooting and i just lost a vein so these are normally 480 grains so a pretty heavy arrow
and also today i have from the vector custom shop uh the hmr 300s a lot of weight up front
and uh four fletch in the back i got a steel it's a two piece insert over cert i've got a
steel insert and then this aluminum over cert 586 so that's a really heavy arrow 586 grain so let's
shoot these through the bow and see what kind of speeds we get
all right guys 29 inch draw length
seven inch brace so it's a little more forgiving i don't expect blistering speeds out of this bow
but i have a hunch it's going to be a nice bow to shoot 29 inch draw like i said 70 pounds
yeah i guess that's all you really need to know let's see what it's like oh let's get this on
all right
all right draw's a it's pretty stiff all the way back and so you don't really notice the peak
and then it just kind of relaxes down into the valley so yeah it's nothing really stands out but
it's not you know it's a short bow 31 inch draw harsher string angle than like i say the inline
five would be with a 35 inch axle axle but it's going to have some power
271. so that's about right i mean that's a 473 grain arrow we've got a trophy ridge drop
zone rest on there black gold sight let's see what we can do 271 was the first shot
that's it's a nice draw i mean it's it's pretty consistent all the way back from
when you first get into the draw to the peak it's just a nice even stiff draw right to the
peak and then bloop down into the valley so yeah it's definitely a nice easy smooth draw
so i think we duplicated it it said two
so 271 let's do one more just for good measure
yeah i did get a 274 earlier and then that's when my silent night vein went flying off
all right last shot
272. so low 270s really heavy arrow well not really heavy but heavy enough 473 7 inch brace
29 inch draw 70 pounds nice smooth draw cycle
i like it
okay the next arrow we're going to shoot this arrow from the vector shop the hmr 300 some heavy
components we got steel up front and the insert aluminum over cert 110 grain point four fletched
fusion vanes this thing's it's heavy up in the 580s that's a heavy heavy arrow this is
really going to slow down this bow a lot being that it's so heavy but it should quiet it down
as well and it's it'll be a penetrator plain and simple that's a good arrow for heavy bone
248 okay yeah so we lost 20 feet per second 25ish feet per second and that's probably
what we're about 100 grains heavier so that kind of shows you what we're working with there
we'll shoot it one more time
see if we can't duplicate it
once again 586 i think is what this arrow weighed
so there you have it 248 with this 586 grain arrow i think is what it was that's a heavy
