Prime Archery by G5 Outdoors has introduced the Form 30, which adds a 30-inch axle-to-axle model to the Prime Form line of bows. The Form has coupled two of Prime’s most significant technologies to create a new pinnacle for the company.

The Prime Form uses Advanced Structures Technology (AST), which now allows Prime to use carbon where it excels, and aluminum where aluminum excels. By using these materials in their needed and precise placement, one of the most advanced structures the bow industry has ever seen has been created.  “Not only can we go lighter, but we can increase the strength, stiffness and precision of the bow,” said Matt Grace, president of G5 Outdoors.  “No other riser technology has ever produced a more advanced structure than AST.”

The Form 30 features Prime’s Center Grip riser, also on the 34-inch Form. Prime bows are designed with the grip in the center to improve aiming and accuracy. By moving the grip to the center of the bow, more mass is shifted below the grip—offering maximum stability and accuracy without needing to add additional weight and improving the entire shooting system. Center grip risers also allow hunters to get on target faster and stay on target longer.

Prime’s Core Cam System allows for draw length specific mods, which delivers maximum efficiency at every draw length, and gives the shooter an incredibly smooth draw every time. The popular picatinny sight mount that Prime introduced in 2024 is on the Form which allows for easy mounting of your favorite bow sight, along with QAD’s Dovetail, machined directly into the Form, which allows for additional rest mounting options.

The Prime Form 30 is available in the following riser colors: Morel, Black, Ridge Rock, Recon Gray, Midnight Blue, Deep Red, Prism, Luminous, along with Mossy Oak Bottomland.  Customers can choose any color/pattern limbs. For more information on the Prime Archery Form 30, visit g5prime.com.
