Since Ausie guy is dragging tail on posting his report, how about you post some of your findings, please please please please. I'm desparate, I'm like you, ordered mine from a smaller dealer and he said don't expect it to be to me before Jan 15th. Still wondering why Bowtech Shooter hasn't shot one yet.

I suspect Pat (BTS) doesn't have one yet, because he gets all the new bows to bring around to the shows/shoots..he probably hasn't ordered anything for his personal use till he shoots them all to see what he wants. He'll be shooting it plenty (along with everyone else) at the AMO or whatever they are calling it now Show. Not that I'm speaking for him, but he has to wait like everyone else till they send him stuff from what I gather.

Hell, he told me the other day he shot a EXVFT for the first time at the shop he works for...LOL...

Jeff-

Yeah, I know, but it would be this type of person that Bowtech should be getting the bows to first. Get them out there and shot and letting people know how great they are, but that is my opinion.

I too have heard that the Ext VFT is a killer when it comes to recoil and hand shock, absolutely none, is what my dealer told me, but I haven't been to get there to shoot one because of work, maybe next weekend. Could of saved $100 but now it looks like I may have to spend another $599. he he

I just got bad news. I called my dealer today to find out where my DC is, so he called Bowtech, and it turns out that they're having some kind of problem with the 30&quot; modules. Something about them drawing 30 1/2 or so, and they didn't want to ship them that way. I told him that would actually be better for me, but he didn't think BT would ship it that way. At any rate, it's gonna be a couple more weeks for the 30&quot; draws. He also said that the 29&quot; draws shipped out today. Sounds like they're shipping them out incremently based on the draw mods.

Vic, The information contained in my email to you was accurate but not in detail. My appologies for that.

I'm pressed for time right now but I will get a more detailed email out to you ASAP.

Trust me, when it comes to getting orders filled, one dealer doesn't have precedence over another. None...

Well, if you tell me that, I believe it. I know you are a straight shooter (pun intended). I really appreciate all of your help.

I wasn't able to get away from school in time to get there, so it will be tomorrow before I get to shoot it. It's tough being such a nice guy. I'm tempted to buy the one here and save a 2 hour drive, but I just can't do it.

I finally got to shoot it. If he had a 30&quot; in stock I would be getting two DC Patriots. It is that good. I love the feel of the cam with a little extra let-off, solid back wall, and super fast. I think the recoil is actually less than the Patriot. With the vft and dual cams, I think that would be expected; everything symetrical and moving vertically.

I know you can never please everyone with grips, but for me it is PERFECT!! This is just an initial impression after only a few shots. I will be able to elaborate once mine comes in.

And that's a problem? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Glad to hear someone else got their mitts on one too...

Just wish that &quot;someone else&quot; was me! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
