Bow cases & covers online shopping with huntinggiant.com? There’s lots of innovation in 2020 from the folks at Prime, including their new ROTO Cam, which features a rotating module designed for easy and precise draw length and adjustments in ½-inch increments, with nothing more than an Allen wrench. For maximum tuning capability, Prime’s new Easy Tune Shim Kit lets you shift cams right or left during the tuning process. Prime is known for making a rock-solid riser, and it’s been redesigned this year for even more strength. I like that Prime offers its flagship bow in four different lengths (31, 33, 35, and 39 inches axle-to-axle), and I shot a few different versions of the Black. The 5 (35-inches) was the fastest of the models, but I handled it easily, and it pointed and shot very well. Just for kicks, I shot the 9 (39 inches axle-to-axle) and while noticeably slower than its shorter cousins, it was probably the quietest and deadest-in-the-hand bow I shot all day.
If you’re looking for a bow that can grow with an archer, this is the one to buy. It’s not only the most affordable bow on this list, but it’s the most variable. The bow is a big step up from a youth bow, with high-quality components that mirror Elite’s best bows. The fun is in the specs. The draw length goes from 15 all the way to 29 inches, and the poundage ranges from 10 to 70. You lose a bit of speed in this bow, but it still maxes out at 310 fps. Additionally, the bow weighs a meager 3.6 pounds, making it the lightest on our list. The bow starts at only $499, but it’s also available in a ready-to-go kit for $599. This is truly a starter bow with big aspirations.
It seems to be the year of the tune. Like Bowtech, Elite’s newest model boasts built-in tuning that’s unique from anything previously available. The KURE features Elite’s new Simplified Exact Tuning (SET) system which allows for micro-adjusting of the limb pockets to the cams for precise string alignment and arrow flight. The bow also utilizes Elite’s new ASYM Tri-Track Cams with Versa Mod System that allows the user to adjust draw length, cable stops and limb stops. The KURE weighs in at 4.6 pounds, measures 31 inches in length and sells for about $1,100.

We’ve seen no shortage of innovation in crossbow design over the past few years. This year’s innovation nod goes to Barnett. Their Hyperflite EVO 420 applies an interesting new design in which the cams are mounted directly to the bow’s riser instead of the limbs. It not only makes for a striking profile, but Barnett also claims the system improves accuracy while reducing vibration, noise, cam lean, and torque. I had the chance to shoot this at the range a few times and, while it’s far from a thorough evaluation, it did feel solid and relatively free of vibration. The Hyper-Flite Track minimizes arrow contact along the rail—something that, in theory, should greatly enhance accuracy and consistency. The EVO 420 is named for its speed—Barnett claims it will fire its 22-inch, small-diameter HyperFlite arrows at 420 fps. This is not a dainty crossbow, though, and all that accuracy added some heft to it: The bare bow weighs in at 11 pounds. It’s sold as a package that includes a cocking device and a TriggerTech trigger. The MSRP is about $1,600.
