Primal Tech pass around.. and we’re off!!

Out for delivery! It should be there when you get home today James!!!!!

Bow arrived at the office this morning! Locked up tight in a wooden box with about 20 wood screws in it. Postal service is gonna have a really hard time hurting this thing lol.

Came home early to do a little test and tune. Unboxed it, set the brace at 8”, checked my nock point height, threw on a quiver and started shooting. Started out with a 30” Easton Axis Traditional with standard 11gr insert, 200gr point, and 10gr VPA collar. Here’s a few of my first few groups at 12 yards.



Very happy with how it shot out of the box. The grip is very comfortable, easily repeatable, and the right height for me.

Unfortunately those arrows ended up being a bit too stiff even after moving up to a 300gr point. I have a 29” draw like Bisch but I had to go to a little weaker arrow than him. Ended up pulling out some CX Pile Drivers I had sitting around that were 250(.400) spine and full length. I threw on a standard HIT insert with a 60gr ethics archery steel collar and 200gr point for a total arrow weight of 590gr. Quite heavy but I’m quite happy with the arrow flight and speed considering the arrow weight so I’ll be sticking to this setup for hunting.

Here’s a few pics of the bow strung up for everyone.

Randy did a great job with this bow. Beautiful woods, great attention to detail, smooth draw, good speed,  with a very nice fit and finish. I will also say this has gotta be one of the quieter bows I’ve shot, not sure if it’s just the heavy arrow weight but I don’t think the animals are gonna hear anything coming, which is nice.

I’ll keep everyone updated on how the hunting goes. Hoping to head out this weekend and chase some pigs and deer.

Good luck, James!!!! It is one awesome bow, for sure.

And my arrows were .400's also (563gr total arrow weight).

Thanks man, fingers crossed! After getting skunked on my moose hunt I need to fling an arrow.

Well James?

How did the hunt go?

[PresTex]

Sorry for not getting back to y’all sooner! Only had a chance to sit out once so far. Gonna get back out there this weekend.

First sit could have gone better. I had a big group of toms come in and i couldn’t resist flinging an arrow. Unfortunately I zipped one through one that gave me a clear shot. Got out to grab my arrow and see if there was any blood. Unfortunately, nothing but guts.  I hate wounding animals so this really sucked. But they are a small target and this happens so i got back in the blind for another hour. After about 30 minutes I had a couple pigs starting making their way in and had a small black and white pig feed towards my shooting lane. Unfortunately I had another big black pig on the other side of that obviously didn’t like something he smelled and was making enough noise to eventually spook them both.

Never saw a deer like I was hoping for but I’ll get back out there Friday or Saturday before the bow goes to the next guy and hopefully I’ll put something down.

Checking back in. I did not have time to go hunting this weekend as I was dealing with some girlfriend troubles. Looks like I’m not gonna be the first to draw blood with this bow. I’ve enjoyed my time with it and after I sell the many bows on the rack which don’t get enough love, then I will probably buy a custom for myself. Just wanna say thanks to Randy for doing this, it’s really nice to get to spend some time with a bow like this instead of having to spend the money for a new one and hope for the best.


Fattony77, you are next on the list. I sent you a PM. Let me know your address and I’ll get this thing out to you.

Ok guys, sorry I havnt been on here much. Been really busy. Anyways something has come up. Tony was next in line but for personal reasons he has had to decline his time with the bow and it will be going to to the next person in line as long as their ok with the time frame. I will send BDann a pm and see if we can keep the bow going.
Also, I will get an update on the name suggestions ASAP!

[Crittergetter]

Ok guy and gals, we’ve got things worked out,  (I think lol) BDann is going to receive the bow a little early to hopefully accommodate his planned hunt in Kansas. He will be shipping the bow to the next recipient upon his return and be putting us back on schedule. He will be keeping the bow a little longer than 2 weeks but considering the circumstances I would recommend the same for anyone else in line if it were your time. I didn’t try to move everyone up a few weeks because I know there are some that have trips scheduled that coincides with their time with the bow. I hope this is acceptable for everyone.

Ps.. I still need to update the list of bow names!!

[BDann]

I received the bow this afternoon, and immediately unpacked it and put it together.  I had no problem tuning it for my arrows, just a little adjustment to the brace height and nocking points.  It is a very quiet bow, like the others have said and it is beautiful.  I’m out hunting with it right now, hoping to fill a tag with it.

[Crittergetter]

Just thought I’d bring this back to the top just to keep everyone up to date.

Add Primitive Passion to the list...

[BDann]

At this point I've put several hundred arrows through this bow and I am loving it.  The grip is the most comfortable that I have ever experienced, and the bow is so quiet!  I have been able to shoot 400 spine gt's (518 grain, full length), and 340 spine (580 grain, full length) without any appreciable difference.  She will take a road trip to Kansas with me next week for another try at a nice buck I've been seeing on my cameras, and then I guess I'll have to relinquish her to the next guy on the list.  Randy and I have been planning out my order, which will happen very soon!

[Crittergetter]

Good luck bud!!
I’m a little jealous, I’ve always wanted to hunt Kansas!

[BDann]

I managed to take this young buck on Thanksgiving Day with the sweet Primal Tech.  I was trying to hold out for a big one, but this guy kept coming around and tempting me.  Now I’ll try for a doe!

[Bisch]

Way to go Brian!!!

Congrats again!!!!
