Title: Bowtech Assasin or G5 Quest primal
Post by: Turkeyslammer on April 03, 2013, 03:13:30 PM: Looking at getting a new bow, I have shot both of these, they both shot smooth and very quite but the G5 is little cheaper just wondering which one!

Amazing valley's and a solid backwall. for the Bow techs I dont feel there backwall is as solid as the g5 and you also get cam lean which with the g5 that is taken out of the solution. So the g5 is a real forgiving bow and is gonna help you holder tighter groups. jmo

Post by: timberhunter on April 08, 2013, 07:34:00 AM: i dont know what the quest primal or assasin cost but i just bought a bare hoyt rampage xt for $525 from a local shop and i love it! i have found them online for about $480. a buddy has an assasin that i have shot quite a bit and i didnt care much for it. compared to the assasin i think the hoyt rampage is a higher quality bow but i dont know what the price difference is either.

Had the same issues.
I noted the G5 strings and cable had very little creep or stretch, just did not hold up well.
I am trying a set of Winners Choice string and cables as soon as I get about 300 shots on my replacement G5 set. I will keep the G5 set as backups.
