G5 Quest Primal Bow

I bought a G5 Quest Primal bow. We set it up on the indoor range and it was very quiet and accurate. The problem came when I tried to sight it in on the outdoor range. The darned thing shoots much faster than I'm used to. I ended up with my first pin being good within a couple inches out to 35 yards. Forget about a forty. I'm acclimated to shooting 20, 30, 40 and can't change this late in the game this year. I think I may need to turn it down to 60 pounds, try heavier arrows and/or go to one pin. This thing is a little beast! Guess I'll hunt with my Bowtech this year.

That sounds like a good problem to have, but it would take some getting use to, you will be use to it by next season.

No, I don't want to sell it yet. I've sighted it in and it shoots broadheads way too well out to 70 yards. I'm going to carry it this next week hunting mulies.

I'm shooting it at 60 pounds and 30 inch draw. I'm using PSE X-Weave 200's and G5 Montech 100 grain broadheads. It's a 360 grain arrow with Blazer Fletch. Gets about 290 fps according to the chronograph at the shop.

I shot one of those at Cabelas. They started carrying them just recently. I was impressed. Then I went and got a Reezen anyway. But I liked the color of them. They looked awesome. After I thought about it though, I wonder how you change the string?

It looks like you just thread the string through the ceramic bushings. Here's a photo of some smashed arrows. I did the first on a bet. It was only 11 yards but they bet I couldn't robinhood an arrow with my "hot new bow". It took two tries. Last night I forgot to change my sight picture slightly on the field archery 20 yard target and got another one. This is going to get expensive in a hurry if I keep fooling around. This little bow is a shooter. :thumb

It's a Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter. It shoots fine but you can see where the vanes are hitting it so after the season I think I'll try an Octane rest on it.
