Whats a G5 Quest. Who makes it. ?

It is made by G5 in conjunction with Quest. The model I have is the Primal.

The Primal is a nice looking bow, another single cam.
Probably not as spendy as some of the others.
Given time and success in the market it will be.

Good luck and put them in the middle. PPP

It is a binary cam bow not a single cam. I would not own a single cam bow.

I have been shooting a Mathews Drenaline but about to upgrade!!! Plan on shooting everything I can before I buy.

Good Idea. That way you will get a bow you like to shoot.
Take your ear plugs so you can tune out all the high speed
sales pitch. With the economy as it is everybody has a special
Bow or the straightest, toughest arrows you have ever seen.



Good luck and keep them in the middle. PPP

Yes, You are quite right, the web pic I looked at the top limb seemed to have
an idler wheel. Didn't mean to offend, sorry.
In fact, it does have two Binary Cams on each limb. Would you like to describe what benefit is acheived. Like more feet per second and more let-off?

I think some people may not have seen or heard about this bow.

I still get strange looks when I show up at a tournaments with my
Onieda Pro.

Food for thought. It's not the bow that wins the trophy, It's the person
shooting the bow who wins. PPP

I am no expert but I will say that the binary cam bows will not have timing issues with string stretch as other bows who's cables are attached to the limbs. I will be looking to get a new G5 Prime with the advanced cam design that eliminates the cam lean. I also think you can get more speed. As a short draw archer it is hard to get the speed I am getting without the rough draw cycle and short brace height of the speed bows.

As a fellow SHORT DRAW archer (26 1/2") I am well aware of the problem.

Wheel lean is a power cable streching problem, occurring slowly as the bow
is drawn. A lot of archers never become aware of the problem if the wheels
are tipped the same direction, and if the archer only shoots the bow occasionally, wheel lean will probably go unnoticed. I have a laser made by SPOT HOGG to detect wheel lean early. Steel cables help, as does the
new string cable material.

Wheel lean is one of the reasons I switched to Oneida. I traded wheel lean
for limb lean, so still had the basic problem. If you are shooting a 100 to 200
arrows a day, the problem can get to be quite annoying.

Good Luck and keep them in the middle. PPP

Now that I shoot a LDH, I have other problems to deal with.

Needed some work done under warranty on my Elite GT500.
It came back to me today and it is demonic fast!
Elite stood over the warranty and did the work.
I was firing at a foam layered target and the arrow was going straight through.
I am up around 308 ft per sec.
I cannot say enough in praise of Elite Archery.
I love the GT500 and will be staying with Elite.
They know how to look after customers like no other company.

Sounds like a winner. It's a great feeling these days to find a company that
is truly customer oriented. With the economy in the dumper, a lot of companies
are looking to cut expenses. Customer service is usually a victim.

Word of mouth helps spread the news as well as any.

Good luck and keep them in the middle.

1Hunter,

[1Hunter]

I can do that. But it will a while, I've got to finish sighting in my new LDH.
