Prime does own Quest and they make an outstanding bow. The Centec is a 3 track binary with a long riser that is extremely stable at full draw. I believe your Prime dealer could order a Quest.

It's a bow line that is overlooked. Kinda like the Mission line of bows for Prime.

 

Way under estimated line, division of G5 like Prime. Been shooting a Primal for 10 years and it’s as solid today as it was then, lacking nothing, quiet, quick and more accurate than I am. Too bad folks don’t give them a try, great value. Just look at the Thrive, best value in archery today as long as it feels right to the shooter. Look at the specs and components. I’ve shot the bow and it is solid, just got a way better deal on a 2 year old new I n the box Rize.

Quest is definitely a quality bow that's way under rated. I had a Quest Drive that was the bow I knew I would shoot well with every time I picked it up. My daughter lost her bow in a divorce so I gave her the Drive. She still has it and is still in love with it. Definitely quality bows with a more attractive price tag.

 

Quest is the big box store line for G5. It started with the old Ross bows but that is a long story. They are good bows but you will not really find the new “premium “ features of the Prime line. They will have the same great finish as the Prime but more standard binary cams, cable supports, etc.

 

That’s why I specifically called out the Thrive, has the Drive cam system, 8000 series riser and flex roller guide. It bridges the gap between some of the Rize era Primes. The cam was very smooth and just eased into a nice valley with no hump and dump.

Yes, the Ross saga is another long thread but look where it got them?

Hey guys, brand new guy around here. I see that Sportsman’s warehouse has the Quest Forge on a fairly significant sale. I was curious if there were any first hand opinions about it as a new bow hunter option

 

As stated in another thread, very solid entry level bow, been discontinued for some time. Fit finish is right there with anyone just not a lot of bells and whistles. Will kill as many deer as YOU are capable of fooling.

 

I appreciate the advice. For the cost, it’s seems to be a great option for me if it is a package. It’s not real clear

 

If it states DTH it’s a package otherwise may be bare bow

That’s exactly what I’m afraid of. It doesn’t specifically say it’s a DTH package. Here is the link:

Looks like bow only, I’d go with the Thrive myself, those prices are a bargain on one of the most underrated bows out. Your skills will eventually outgrow the Forge, the Thrive not so much. The DTH is about $100 more.

I really appreciate the heads up. My gut is telling me it is a bare bow. If nothing else, it’s really peaked my interest in Quest bows.

 

How does the Quest Thrive compare to other similarly priced bows like the Mission MXR?

 

8000 series riser, from the Rize I believe, Flex roller guide, better fit and finish. I have shot the Thrive, never handled the Mission. Like the specs on the Thrive too. Personal preferences but the bow is worth looking at.

 

Yeah it seems like a good deal. The local shop only had the Centec in stock today though so I couldn't get my hands on it.

 

I started out on a Thrive and can’t recommend it enough to folks looking for a solid entry to midrange bow. It held its own against the Hoyt Powermax and was substantially better than the other mid-priced and big box outdoor retailer bows. It’s a TON of bow for the money. I can’t speak for any of the other models, but the Thrive offers huge value for the money.
I shot the heck out of mine before upgrading to a Hoyt Axius Ultra this year for hunting season and just built up a Prime Black 9 for target/3D.

 

My second bow is a Torrent a nice compact bow that i love. Main weapon is a prime Logic.

 

thrive is a great bow its not in same ballpark as mxr ithas a ton of features that top line bows have

 

 

Still shooting my 2011 quest primal...
Don't overlook quest.

 

New member and new to bow hunting. I got a centec a few months ago and I really like it a lot. Several of my buddies who have been shooting much more expensive bows for a lot longer all really liked it and talked about how quiet, light, and smooth it was. My local bow shop said it was one of the best package bows they had at the price point.

 

Love my centec so far, the let off is almost to much but solid shooting bow. I get a bunch of double takes when people see it because it's so close to a prime riser. I hunt with budget bows because I don't have to get gut wrenched when something happens to it lol. My hha broke so I have a cheap trophy ridge on it at the moment. But my hunting is all within 30 yards tight woods, so it really doesn't matter except I love the glo of an hha.

 

lt's a bow line that is overlooked. Kinda like the Mission line of bows for Prime.

 

Got a fix 5 for it

 

I’ve also got a Centec, got it half way through the hunting season and already had another bow tuned and setup so it hasn’t seen the woods yet but I’ve shot my Centec a lot. It’s probably my favorite bow I’ve ever had between Bear, Diamond, Darton and my super old Jennings. It’s fully adjustable with the mod set up. Can change draw length without a bow press. Obviously adjustable draw weights 55-70 or 40-55 lbs depending on what limbs you order. Totally agree with whoever mentioned the let off almost being too much. It’s nice to hold for long periods of time but you can get a little lazy with your shot and letting it down almost feels like it’s stuck at first until you get used to it. Super solid back wall though with the limb stops though, big difference I noticed from the string stops of other mid level bows. Love the center grip instead of lower offset grip of most bows, definitely feels more balanced out of the box. Great shooting bow, I’d recommend it to anyone. The ready to hunt package came with a Trophy ridge whisker biscuit, a G5 peep, G5 headloc 4 arrow quiver and a G5 sight. Not sure the name of it but it’s all metal and has micro adjust for everything but the actual pins. I think it was about $100 more for the package than the bare bow.
