After comparing pictures of the bowtech patriot and the Mathew's Legacy, I think I'm leaning on the side of purchasing another expensive hat.
Seeing that Mathews has me all jazzed up about it now. I think it'll come down to feel completely when I take em both for a test drive.
Thanks for the link to the Mathews! I'd actually be real interested in that sportsman for wing shooting. I wonder what that'll retail for.
I'm also amazed that they didn't jack up the price of the Arrow Web quivers with the harmonic dampners. Figured they would go for at least an additional $20. Before I put on my doinker on my Q2XL, I would get a small twanging noise from the quiver and from the rest, but that solved both those problems.
Okay, now I'm getting ancy! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Man them things are UUUGGGLLY. Look like some kind of throw back to the early 80's or before with all that junk on the end of the limbs and cables.

Finally, some pics of the new Mathews, thanks bwrong.

They do look nice, but I think the cable roller and string dampener are just a little too gimmicky for me, and this is coming from someone who shoots Mathews now. I think I will take Matt/PA's advice and go with the BowTech Patriot for the reasons he cited. My dealer is supposed to be getting some Patriots in in a couple of weeks, and unless there is something radically strange about the way they shoot, I will be buying one. I have shot some of the other BowTech models and have found they are very well put together, at least as good in quality as Mathews, probably better.

ABM, I honestly think you should give BowTech a serious look.

Thanks again Matt/PA for helping me seal the deal, it's been killin' me for over a month.

Moonge, I should be getting my BowTech about the same time you get your Mathews. Post some feedback on how you like it and why you think I made the wrong decision, I'll do the same.

Thanks all for the help, this board is great.

sounds good MN_BOWHUNTER, Once I get my hands on one & get to shoot then I will make my final choice! I like the look of the bowtech too! oh well I'll keep you posted on the legacy when I get it.

Dang it Matt! This ain't funny!

Heck, maybe I'll just buy the new cam and get out of the new bow market! This is too frustrating!

I'll give them both a try still, but might just get the extra cam now and buy a new bow after our next October Goat Hunt. I'd like to wait to hear more reviews on both bows, and see if they start experiencing problems. Both bows seem like they are very innovative, and I'm sure one or the other will be in my hands in the future.

Jawbone, you've got mail!
