So my Rev 4 showed up yesterday and I was fortunate to get it set up. Unfortunately the arrow side of the shop has gotten busy and employee builds kinda get put on the back burner, so I still only have the first test arrow we built for it.

As always, the fit an finish is perfect. Put the Prime specific Hamskea Epsilon on it, set the arrow level through the berger and one click to set center. Shot a bullet with only one more click to the left.

It's got the Prime branded Tightspot with the Prime riser mount. Pretty cool, but not sure if it's worth the extra cost to get it.

Also have a Trophy Ridge React Pro 5 and a Conquest Control Freak 8' stab with quick disconnect.

Bow shoots as good as the "Preview Pack" one I've been playing with since December. Now just to get a non rainy day to line up with a day off to get it sighted in.

I looked hard at the quiver, but couldn’t drop $200 on it. I take my quiver off as soon as I get in the tree so a $40 quiver will hold my arrows.
The bow just won’t look as good walking to my stand.
I get that. The quiver and rest were part of the "staff shooter" package with the Rev six. We also got another rest with our Preview Pack bows so I was able to outfit both with the Prime Epsilons.

It is frustrating, especially as a dealer, because the Mathews specific Epsilon is priced the same as the regular one. And the Prime TightSpot is exactly the same as the regular ones (other than the mount). So pricing the "branded" ones $20-30 more doesn't make sense.

And since I spot and stock the quiver is always on, so I would have been putting a TightSpot on it anyway, and the Rev 6 doesn't need it for flinging at foam and hay.

With your Epsilon, do you have your nock height dead level?
Did a little bare shaft shooting today and I’m about 4”-5” bare shaft high at 20 yards.
Flat through the berger, as I do with all of my Primes. Have yet to need to make any vertical adjustments when tuning.

Major shoutout to you veritas.archangel. If it wasn't for you, I doubt that I would have ever tried a Prime bow, and now I don't think I'll ever shoot anything else. I went from Bear > Elite > PSE > Mathews > PSE > Prime. Out of all those bows, I never felt quite comfortable with any of them, and I was never able to get a bare shaft to tune exactly how I wanted it to. Even though I had to use the shims on my Prime Revex 4, and it took a lot of getting my grip right, it was incredibly easy to tune this Prime with just the shims, and I have my bare shafts shooting absolutely perfect lasers at 20 yards. With those other bow brands, I was always looking forward to the next bow to see if it "worked better" for me, but this Revex 4 shoots so well that I have no desire to look at anything else in the future. I finally found a bow that I can feel comfortable with for years to come.

Thanks again for all of your help and advice man!
