I shot one before it's a smooth draw nice grip I was just scared of the cam design at the time that's why I went with my Mathews. But now after reading everyone who owner one loves it. The guys who are selling them used are upgrading to the newest Prime. 

I had one of the early primes with the dual track cams.  Shot great.  Easy to tune.

What's the ata and brace height?
How is the valley on Prime bows?? Looks like a shooter!

6 1/2 " brace height 35" ATA. I pulled it back couple times it's real smooth, solid back wall. The only thing I noticed and haven't fired an arrow yet was it's very similar to the Elite bows, the let off feels like ya gotta push the string. Just something I'm going to have to get use to.

Very nice....35 ata bows are usually rock solid and nice shooters.

What type of release are you using?

I hate when it feels you need to push the string...a bow with a solid back wall combined with shooting a nice thumb release has fixed having to push the string on a bow with a deep valley.(for me)

I use a Scott mongoose and just switch to the Scott Hyper jaw. Tacks let me try his thumb release and I'm not sure if I could get use to it.

Try that thumb release a few times and make a solid commitment to it before writing it off.....I felt the same way...and now I won't go back to a trigger release.
They have such a clean break it is unbelievable.

i agree very different and takes a while to get settled in and comfortable with one.  crisp clean break helps with killing foam or targets.  i still like to use a wrist strap for hunting though.

wow 35 is certaintly on the longer side with bows like the triax at 28. I actually had a dream last night that i went to the archery shop and it was packed. They had one prime in and no mathews. I blame this thread for the dream.

Betting there is a lot less cam lean with that design. Is that button plastic or aluminum? If it is a plastic button that connects the single string to the double section that would scare me.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

They advertise it as zero cam lean, which was why they came up with the design.
