Prodigy is an amazing bow imo. I buy multiple bows of all makes and models every year and my 2015 BT Prodigy is the only bow that I have held on to over the past few years. Tunes like a dream, quiet as well as consistent and accurate as any bow I have ever owned.

 

I had a 60# prodigy and just recently added a 70# Prodigy. Smooth and accurate like it should be. My son shoots a prodigy as well. It's nice having 3 settings to choose from. My 60# is on performance, the 70# comfort. My son shoots in the classic setting. I really like the bow, that's why I sold my Icon and picked up the 70#

 

Although I like my Bowtech RealmX better, I really like my Prodigy as well. Great shooting bow with 3 settings that change draw cycle, let-off and speed. Use mine for hunting in comfort setting. Great all around bow. $600 would be a great deal, was $900 when they first came out in 2015.

 

If you are going to spend $600 I would buy a Reign 7 over a prodigy.

 

Of the two you mentioned, a new Prodigy with the three power settings, ODB cam tunability , warranty and in-house limbs for around $600 would be my choice.

 

I haven't owned a Prodigy but back when they first came out, I spent a lot of time shooting it and the Mathews HTR NoCam trying to decide which one to buy. From my perspective the two bows were the smoothest shooting bows I have ever shot. I went with the HTR eventually, mainly because of the issue at the time with the Bowtech limbs; but if that problem had been solved back then, I think I would have gone with the Prodigy. It is one sweet bow!

 

I owned and shot a Prodigy and I loved the bow. Aimed extremely well, was fast (shot it on performance setting) and had a pretty smooth draw in my opinion. The one thing that I feel could have been better with it was the grip but it wasn't that bad, I have just felt better grips (again my opinion as we are all different). It is one bow that after I sold it I wished I had held on to it. In my opinion it was a very good bow.

 

Thank you all for the information. Have there been any limb failures with the new limbs? Anything to worry about there?

 

Back before Bowtech brought the limbs back in house, it seemed like there was a new thread every 2-3 weeks here where someone had a limb go on them. We don't see those threads anymore, so it seems the issue has been resolved.

 

I have been shooting a Prodigy that I bought used in 2016 with original limbs. Never had a problem with the bow or the limbs . I would have no hesitation about buying a new leftover. If you are buying it from a Bowtech dealer you are getting a warranty . As previously stated the Prodigy is a very good 32" ATA bow. It is as fast and accurate . The 3 setting flip disc, Comfort , Classic and Performance mode is a nice feature not offered on the newer Bowtechs. I shoot it in the Classic mode ( blend of speed and easy draw) @ 60 lbs and 27."draw ,it chrono's @ 275+ fps with a 340 grain Easton Hexx.

 

Yeah great bow.... I'm maybe in the minority but I sold my realm to buy a used prodigy.

 

picked one up on here in the classifieds for $450, condition like new. best decision i've made. can't go wrong.

 

I loved the Prodigy. I believe I owned 2 or 3. They are an excellent bow. I think they're better than the Realm series of bows. The shot feel is way less "violent" than the Realm X or SR6. As far as accuracy or hold, they're just as relevant as the Realm series. Wish I still had mine.
