Prime Archery has dropped an impressive lineup for 2025, and bowhunters are already taking notice. The newest offerings include the RVX Plus 32, RVX Plus 34, and a bold, futuristic new model called the Prime FORM—a hybrid design that’s one of the most unique bows we’ve ever seen.
In this review, we’ll take a closer look at each model, compare the features, and share firsthand impressions of how they feel and shoot. Whether you’re shopping for your next hunting bow or just want to keep up with what’s new, this is a lineup worth exploring.
Prime RVX Plus 32 and RVX Plus 34
The RVX Plus series continues Prime’s commitment to stability, consistency, and ultra-smooth shooting. Both the RVX Plus 32 and RVX Plus 34 share the same core design language—featuring Prime’s signature Center Grip technology, which centers the riser in your hand and balances the bow for improved hold and accuracy.
Key Specs:
- RVX Plus 32: 32” axle-to-axle length
- RVX Plus 34: 34” axle-to-axle length
- Both bows offer a smooth draw cycle and solid back wall
- Brace heights land in the 6.5” to 7” range, providing a comfortable and forgiving shot experience
The draw cycle on both models is consistent and familiar to longtime Prime shooters. They offer the same feel, hold, and balance you’d expect from Prime—with the main difference being the axle-to-axle length. If you’re hunting from blinds or tree stands, the RVX Plus 32 is compact and maneuverable. If you prefer a longer bow for added stability and forgiveness, the RVX Plus 34 may be a better fit.
First Impressions of the New Prime FORM Bow
The biggest head-turner of the 2025 Prime lineup is the FORM, a radically different bow that blends carbon bar construction with aluminum components. Visually, it’s striking—almost robotic in design—and there’s truly nothing else like it on the market right now.
Prime claims the FORM is 47.5% stiffer in the riser than its aluminum-only counterparts, which theoretically results in increased accuracy and shot consistency. In testing, the overall feel of the FORM is comparable to the RVX Plus models, though there may be slightly more hand shock on the shot, likely due to the stiffness of the riser. However, this can easily be mitigated by adding accessories such as a stabilizer, sight, and rest.
If you’re the kind of bowhunter or target archer who likes gear that sparks conversation, this is the bow people will stop and ask about. Whether you love the look or not, there’s no denying its uniqueness.
Which Prime Bow Is Right for You?
Ultimately, choosing between these Prime bows comes down to personal preference. All three shoot well and offer the same smooth draw, great balance, and tight back wall. The differences really come down to axle-to-axle length, riser material, and overall aesthetic.
Here’s how I’d break it down:
- RVX Plus 32: Great for archers who want a compact, mobile bow—ideal for tighter hunting setups.
- RVX Plus 34: My personal favorite in terms of specs—33″ to 34″ axle-to-axle with a forgiving brace height is my sweet spot.
- FORM: A premium option for those who want something futuristic, ultra-rigid, and visually distinct. It costs a little more, but you’re paying for innovation and conversation-starting design.
If I had to choose just one from the 2025 lineup, I’d personally go with the Prime FORM—not just for its performance, but because it’s unlike anything else on the market. I appreciate gear that stands out and performs, and the FORM does both.
Will There Be More FORM Variants?
Some customers have already wondered if Prime will release additional versions of the FORM with shorter or longer axle-to-axle options in the future. There’s even been interest in swappable carbon bars to customize bow length, although that’s purely speculative at this point. While that would be a cool modular idea, Prime would need to ensure durability and safety with such a design.
For now, we’re excited about the launch model and eager to see how this bow performs in the field through 2025 and beyond.
