The author found the Prime Form incredibly stable and balanced, even while shooting in blustery crosswinds. A tight 40-yard group like this was practically automatic during his field test.
Prime’s 2025 flagship bow — the Form — is a hybrid created using unique engineering principles (Advanced Structures Technology, or AST) to connect carbon and aluminum at key points of the riser. According to Bowhunting World Field Editor Darron McDougal, the new 34-inch Prime Form is silky smooth to draw and let down, has a super-comfortable Nano Grip, and is incredibly stable and balanced, all of which results in the bow's outstanding accuracy.

Additional Notes: The Prime Form was set up using a Last Chance Archery EZ Green Bow Press and EZ Green Bow Vise, and the draw weight was calculated using Last Chance Archery’s Digital Bow Scale. A Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph measured the arrow velocities. Other products used were Easton’s Nock and D-Loop Pliers and Pro Hex Fold-Up Allen Set. Arrows were weighed on Last Chance Archery’s Pro Grain Scale.
