Built around a 31-inch axle-to-axle design with a 6-inch brace height, the Control 31\/6 delivers a manufacturer-rated 335 fps IBO speed while weighing just 4.2 pounds bare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing Prime's Advanced Structures Technology (AST), American-made aluminum construction, and adjustable CORE Cam System, the Control 31\/6 is designed for bowhunters who want a combination of maneuverability, aiming stability, and tunability. With a draw-length range of 25.5 to 29.5 inches, a 70 lb peak draw-weight configuration, and modern accessory integration, the Control offers a compelling alternative to more expensive flagship hunting bows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact 31-Inch Axle-to-Axle Hunting Platform\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime Control 31\/6 features a 31-inch axle-to-axle length, making it the shorter of the two Control hunting models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor whitetail hunters who regularly hunt from treestands, saddles, and ground blinds, this compact geometry can provide maneuverability in situations where available space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shorter platform also makes the Control 31\/6 worth considering for mobile hunters who frequently move between setups or navigate thick cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, axle-to-axle length alone does not determine how a bow aims or shoots. Proper fit, cam characteristics, bow balance, grip pressure, and shooting consistency all influence performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e6-Inch Brace Height\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Control 31\/6 features a 6-inch brace height, contributing to its compact, performance-oriented design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the 7-inch brace height of the Control 33\/7, the shorter brace height is one of the primary differences between the two models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA shorter brace height can support higher arrow-speed potential, but it may also make consistent shooting form more important for some archers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend evaluating brace height alongside the bow's actual draw cycle, grip, alignment, and how consistently you execute the shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e335 FPS IBO Speed Rating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrime rates the Control 31\/6 at 335 fps IBO, placing it in a competitive performance category for an aluminum hunting bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis rating is based on standardized manufacturer testing and should not be confused with the speed a shooter will achieve using a finished hunting arrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eActual speed depends on draw length, draw weight, arrow weight, let-off, and other setup variables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The published 335 fps rating is an IBO specification, not an Extreme Outfitters chronograph result or a guaranteed speed for every configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePrime CORE Cam System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime Control uses the company's CORE Cam System, one of the defining technologies carried into the Control lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrime designed the CORE Cam around its cam-balancing approach, which works to reduce cam lean by improving the relationship between the string and cable forces throughout the draw cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCam alignment can influence tuning consistency and how the bow behaves under load, making the system an important part of the Control's overall design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CORE Cam also provides adjustable draw-length and let-off configurations, allowing the bow to be fitted more precisely to the individual shooter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdjustable Draw Length in Quarter-Inch Increments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Control 31\/6 accommodates draw lengths from 25.5 to 29.5 inches, with quarter-inch adjustment increments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis range provides flexibility for shooters who fall between conventional half-inch draw-length settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSmall draw-length adjustments can influence anchor position, posture, alignment, and how naturally the bow settles at full draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best results, establish the correct draw length through actual shooting and professional bow fitting rather than relying solely on a measurement chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e70 lb Peak Draw-Weight Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version of the Prime Control 31\/6 is configured for a nominal 70 lb peak draw weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA properly fitted 70 lb hunting bow offers the ability to build an arrow setup around the shooter's draw length, arrow weight, and intended hunting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe correct draw weight should allow the archer to draw smoothly and maintain control throughout the entire shot process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product listing is for the 70 lb version. Prime offers the broader Control lineup in other draw-weight configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdjustable Let-Off\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime Control's CORE Cam System offers adjustable let-off, with published dealer specifications listing a range of approximately 70% to 85%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet-off determines the amount of holding weight remaining at full draw relative to the bow's peak draw weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome bowhunters prefer a lighter holding weight for extended aiming, while others prefer additional holding weight to maintain tension throughout the shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe best setting depends on the shooter's preferences, form, and the cam configuration being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAST Advanced Structures Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Control incorporates Prime's Advanced Structures Technology, commonly referred to as AST.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis engineering approach focuses on material placement, structural consistency, and riser design to create a stable platform without unnecessary mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the carbon-based Divide, the Control uses American-made aluminum construction to deliver Prime's structural design philosophy at a lower price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a hunting bow designed to bring premium engineering concepts to a more accessible category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCenter-Grip Riser Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrime's center-grip riser geometry is one of the key design features carried into the Control lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy positioning the grip near the center of the bow, Prime aims to distribute more of the bow's mass below the shooter's hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis distribution is intended to promote natural aiming stability and reduce the amount of additional stabilizer weight some shooters may want to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow the bow actually balances will depend on the installed sight, rest, quiver, stabilizers, and other accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePrime X-Weld Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrime incorporates its X-Weld bonding technology into its advanced riser construction philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe system is designed to create strong, consistent connections between the structural components used in Prime's engineered risers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Control, the important distinction is its aluminum-based construction rather than the carbon material configuration used in Prime's more expensive models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNano Grip Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrime's Nano Grip incorporates Aerogel-based technology intended to provide a warmer, more comfortable grip surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor bowhunters who regularly shoot in cold weather, grip comfort can influence hand placement and confidence during the shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe grip's shape and feel should still be evaluated in person, as proper hand placement and consistent pressure remain important for accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrated Accessory Mounting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime Control is designed to accommodate modern integrated accessories, including compatible Picatinny-style sight mounting and integrated arrow-rest configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDirect mounting can help reduce unnecessary brackets and create a streamlined hunting setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility depends on the specific accessory and mounting system being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTriLite Bow Stand Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime Control platform supports compatible Prime TriLite bow stand accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis provides an integrated stand option for range practice, equipment setup, and other situations where the bow needs to be supported between shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The TriLite bow stand is an optional accessory unless specifically included in a dealer

system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor hunters who prefer a streamlined quiver connection, an integrated mounting system can simplify accessory installation and help keep the finished bow compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuiver capacity, mounting hardware, and compatibility should be confirmed for the specific SherpaLite model selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SherpaLite quiver is sold separately unless included in a specifically identified

qualifying buyers an opportunity to evaluate their bow through real-world shooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the program, eligible customers who are not satisfied with the bow's aiming performance may request a refund directly through Prime, subject to its published terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEligibility includes purchase from a participating authorized dealer, timely bow

The Control 33\/7 offers a longer axle-to-axle platform, an additional inch of brace height, and a draw-length range that extends to 31 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeither model is automatically more accurate. Your draw length, preferred brace height, holding characteristics, and overall shooting comfort should determine the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Take on the Prime Control 31\/6\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Extreme Outfitters, we look beyond advertised speed when evaluating compound bows. Draw cycle, valley, grip, holding stability, tuning, and performance with actual hunting arrows all influence whether a bow is right for the shooter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime Control is interesting because it brings several of Prime's established technologies into a bow priced below many current flagship models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CORE Cam System is one of the main features that stands out. Prime's approach to cam balancing has been an important part of its bow design, and incorporating that system into the Control gives shoppers a compelling reason to consider the platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe also like the focus on center-grip riser geometry. Bow balance matters, especially once a sight, rest, quiver, and stabilizers are installed. A bow that feels naturally stable may allow the shooter to build a more practical hunting setup without unnecessary accessory weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor whitetail hunters, the 31-inch axle-to-axle length is particularly appealing. It keeps the bow compact enough for mobile hunting while retaining the engineering features of Prime's larger platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe six-inch brace height is worth considering carefully. It supports a performance-oriented design, but proper shooting form and consistent execution are essential. Shooters who prefer a more generous brace height should compare the Control 33\/7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe also appreciate the quarter-inch draw-length adjustments. Being able to make smaller fitting changes can help dial in anchor position, alignment, and how naturally the bow aims at full draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe aluminum-based construction is another important part of the Control's value. Rather than duplicating the carbon construction of Prime's higher-priced models, the Control offers a different material approach while retaining key elements of Prime's design philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing we'd emphasize is choosing the right bow based on actual fit and shooting characteristics, not just the IBO speed rating or published price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a bowhunter shopping for a premium-feature 70 lb hunting bow, the Prime Control 31\/6 deserves consideration—particularly if the shooter prefers a compact platform and falls within its draw-length range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur recommendation is to evaluate the bow at your actual draw length and preferred draw weight, then consider how it holds and balances with the accessories and hunting arrows you intend to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the axle-to-axle length of the Prime Control 31\/6?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime Control 31\/6 measures 31 inches axle-to-axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the brace height of the Control 31\/6?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a 6-inch brace height.
