Title: new bow G5 quest primal..
Post by: hillbilli on April 10, 2013, 04:51:14 PM: Got my new bow the other day, got it all set up with peep sight, release loop, whisker biscuit rest. it's rated at 330, so faster than my old bow (290) .. pretty quiet, no vibration to speak of. top pin is 30yds, and at 20 its not more than an inch and a half high.. so far so good. now to get the rest of the sight pins set up, and figure out which broadhead it likes..

Also keep an eye on the I-guide shaft for backing out of the tube in the riser.
From experience.
They sure shoot nice when they hold together.

Post by: Nice Racks on April 11, 2013, 01:51:12 PM: I love my Primal, but as JJD said the cams fray the serving. Sportsmans Warehouse will fix the serving for free. It would be nice if G-5 would fix the problem and replace the cams since it is a known problem. :chuckle:

Post by: JJD on April 17, 2013, 12:26:13 PM: Chief,
I have had good luck with the G5 Montec & Striker. Both requited minimal tuning with the arrows I'm using.
Another one I've heard needs little messing with is Slick Trick.

I'm shooting maxima hunters in a 30 inch draw with 100 grain slick tricks set inline with the string and four fletch blazzers out back they fly like darts at 307fps . @70lbs

Post by: hillbilli on April 21, 2013, 01:51:32 PM: broom? Quad ultra is a rest i assume? I'm using a whisker biscuit rest, and gold tip 7595, and pretty much have to use 125gr tips to make WA. "legal weight"..

Post by: JJD on April 25, 2013, 10:46:38 AM: Broom = biscuit

7595 is the arrow spine. That's the number gold tip uses for .340 spine.

Post by: hillbilli on May 04, 2013, 09:12:15 AM: bow is set at 68lbs..
Title: Re: new bow G5 quest primal..
Post by: JJD on May 07, 2013, 02:20:39 PM: Should be about the right spine for that wt bow. Even with a 100 gr broadhead, ya should have plenty of % FOC.

Post by: hillbilli on May 29, 2013, 07:19:45 AM: I got it tuned to shoot my broadhead of choice (orig 125 3 bld muzzy) to same point of aim as field points.. I shot an 8" group at 60, 2 broadheads, 2 field points.. works for me.. still love this old broadhead.. 31$ FOR 6.. big holes, tough broadheads..doesnt hurt that I still have a bunch I bought on clearance.. they work out of the recurve as well..
