I got one a few months ago. Along with it I shot the new Hoyt, Mathews, Elite and Black 3. I could of been happy with shooting any of them if I was forced to. They are all good bows.

I probably landed on the Black 5 more because I came from the Centergy Hybrid.

I like the string angle on a 35" bow so that is a big part for me.
The cable stops. I pull a lot on my shots and like the feel of them on the back wall.
It balances well. With that said I am running a 10" stabilizers on the front and back...I definitely like the split limbs better.
I like the grip on this one better than my Centergy.
The strings...I haven't had to adjust my peep since getting it. Man I use to hate some of the cheap strings on some of my older bows. I never liked the fact you had to buy new strings for a new bow.

Since I have a long draw length in a perfect world I would probably prefer a 6 1/2" to 7" brace height. With that said the little extra speed is nice and who knows if I would really notice the difference.
It does stack a little on the draw. I don't even notice it now, but on the Black 3 it seemed to do it more for me.

I am sure I am forgetting a lot, but in short I am really happy with it.

Thanks for the response I was going to try one at my local bow shop but the wife was ready to go that day

Huge fan of prime bows but honestly I haven’t shot one I liked more than the rival with pcxl cams. Haven’t spent much time with the blacks but had a ct3 and it was a good bow but liked my centergy hybrid better so I sold it. That said, see what fit you and shoot as many bows as you can.

I have a black five now. I like it, but for some reason I can not get the string to touch the tip of my nose unless I go to way to long of a draw length. I am trying to shoot it without the string touching my nose, and have added a kisser button. Have not had much time lately to shoot it, to see If I can get used to it. I have also had to change my anchor point with this bow for some strange reason, as to not get paper tears.

Shot the black 5 today (first prime I’ve ever shot) and fell in love. Prime is new to me so doing research now but it was my favorite over bowtech revoltx, elite ritual and new PSE. Kinda shocked but absolutely love it.
