I've been shooting the original Logic for a few years now and it has killed a heap of meat for me, but man, I REALLY like the look of this new Revex. I guess I'm gonna have to give it a try. BTW, I am a MODULE man myself, no rotating modules on my bow, ever! Great review!
I just bought 2023 Prive Revex-4 in midnight blue with black limbs and custom build with mostly nock on accessories and AAE Prophecy Arrow Rest, man this bow is so comfortable to shoot, it is mind blowing how quite it is.
I am still in love with my Inline 3. The only thing that tempts me towards the Rev-X is the mounting hole for the tight spot custom quiver. I am not switching though. I've always heard about how well Prime bows point. It was true and the insulated grip is also something I don't think I can live without after having it. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I've been bow hunting for almost 30 years now and I shoot this bow better than any I have ever owned. That includes BowTech and Matthews.
I dont understand how there is a performance difference on a rotating mod like bowtech opposed to these revex and mathews with draw lenght specific mods. There both literally doing the same thing if its a 26" dl the cams going too stop sooner than a 30" dl so how is performance/efficiency the same
Wouldn't you think that couldn't be true because when you replace that module that string each module is going to be bigger or shaped different for example wouldn't that string wrap around it in a different way it's time to get longer so shorter you go really slop here it's going to get
prime seems to be in a very sticky situation to me anyways, they went for years saying 4 cams is better for (X) reason and now they're back to 2 cams and saying no this is better...
Cause they found a way to do what the 4 cams were doing with the redesign to the binary cams. that's the whole point of the "inline" cam system they came out with..
I just take it so big their band they hit a home run last year and then some big guy wants to pick on them when they're a smaller company and we know this I mean they absolutely knocked it out of the park last year and now I mean you can see that bow is kind of built toward that but they took the inline system had to switch the cam everything I don't know I definitely prefer to be rotating module but they say it helps to go I guess you know it is what it is I'm glad I got the inline five why it was still able to be bought

@@quintonb9870 Mathews is the reason for my opinion on this subject. The draw lengths are way off and I also had to buy different mods if I wanted to play with holding weight. Never again.
The company is 10-15 years behind industry leaders like Elite, Bowtech, and Mathews. They went back to the dual track used many years ago and the marketing department is struggling to save the day.
Maybe being behind so far is what makes them the best bows out there. Don’t need a hole in the riser for accessories to slide into. Just need a good draw cycle and good balance and prime does that best
If bows were so much better today than 10-20 years ago we would be seeing much better tournament scores being logged. We don't. All shooter friendly bows topped out at 320-340 ibo because higher efficiency numbers are unattainable with the technology and available string and limb materials. They are HEAVIER to give potential buyers a false sense of quiet and vibration free shooting. Even carbon bows are tipping the scales at over 4 1/4 lbs bare. Some bows MAY have given the user a bit of tuning ability, but even that is questionable over a person who knows how to tune anyway. Compound bows peaked somewhere around 2005-2010. If I were in the market for a bow I would buy one used and a good bow press and still save 1k-$1500.
The major difference I see between bows a decade ago vs today - Bows of today are easier to tune, stay tuned and reciprocates to your shooting form way better. Every time I tune these new bows I go, wow that was quick, especially on bows that have aftermarket strings. Moreover the learning process when it comes to children or new archers, it’s is easier for the coach to teach. But somehow I still love my old bows and go hunting looking for old used ones. Just bought a Hoyt Rampage last week, my lord, that limb pocket is a sight to behold. I show the bow to my students, they hate it.

As a guy who currently shoots Mathews Mods are great for efficiency buy a kids bow. My Ventum Pro 33 is adjustable but my V3X 33 is a much better bow not even a close competition.
Sorry engineers, the customer (market) demands for adjustable rotating mod not peak/efficiency performance. Prime will pay for their own mistake....People want adjustment over tiny bit of performance
I honestly never thought I'd see a company regress to mod based draw length for new models. I would have bet good money no company would be dumb enough to go to less adjustability in 2023 when nearly(looking at you, Mathews) the entirety of the industry is going for more.

But it doesn’t matter how nice the person is that tells you they don’t have any more parts for your bow “and never will again”. Either way You aren’t getting the parts. I did some digging and found out Mathews is the only one that guarantees 100% of all parts supported for life. That’s a big deal in my book. Even if you don’t keep your bows forever, second hand owners can buy a bow knowing if anything ever goes wrong, at least they can get parts to fix it.
Haha, are you the same guy running around on AT screaming about elite?!? Get off of it, no one is jumping on the elite bandwagon, it’s a solo trip for you. 💩
That would be 14/16.....so 1/16 difference. Both are considered starting points and then paper dictates from there. I started with 13/16 and it was fine....another bow might need 14/16.

Going back to mods is a major downgrade, just because shops can’t tune primes properly is a shame. Other than that the bow really can’t be touched, compared it to the ss34 and it holds better but bow tech will always win on draw cycle. Both are incredible
“If you like give on the back wall it has it; if you like firm it is firm”. Seriously?? Lost some respect for PJ when I heard that. Then I hear “it’s fast enough”…twice. This really came across as a sales pitch, disappointed.
So to understand how a bows back wall can give and be firm you have to know where I’m coming from. There was a time when cable stops were super mushy. They were not at all firm. By comparison, a limb stop is immovable. That’s harder than firm. On this bow, there are cable stops and there is a faint hint of giving at full draw, but the stop is firm as compared to soft. That’s what I was referring to.
@@pjreilly3997 fair enough…thanks for the reply, hopefully future reviews stray toward the review format a bit more and infomercial a bit less. I watch to learn about the bow, not why I should buy the bow. Thanks PJ!
Only an IDIOT would believe the string & cables would be "INLINE" on a single track cam. It is literally impossible. Dropping the Parallel Cam will be Prime's demise. "The Wheels On the Bus Go Round & Round."
Not impossible.....The cams are machined with a wide string track and then metal is removed behind that track so when the cam rolls over, the cable connection points are in line with the string track. They are on slanted tracks that pull them away from the cam when the bow is at rest, but when the bow is drawn, the cables slide in behind the string track. Prime has some good graphics showing you exactly how this is done.....

Can a 31” draw work with the revex 4? Or would moving to the 6 be better?

Hi . I got 27.5 revex 6. Is there a possibility that I can adjust the arm length 27 or a little lower?
Mine will be here soon !
What about the limb stop? Does this still have one?
What color is that
Can you turn the lights on for the next review ;)
What was the ATA on the 2? If you said it I must’ve missed it.
