Well after getting the '02 Patriot on ebay and getting it all setup. Shot it for a bid and didn't really like the front heavy feel. So I was going to have to back weight it... and liked the '03 grip alot better.. so I was gonna have to get a custom grip if I wanted that feel. So I decided to throw it up on Ebay. Got a pretty decent amount for it... and bought a '03 Pat dually from a guy that delivered it to the ATA show. Shot it last night and all I can say is WOW. The short valley and stiffer draw will take a little getting used to.. but I think I can handle it.

Can't wait to see the final version of the new Bowtech bow for '05.

The '03 Dually is a great bow, I'm not replacing it anytime within the next few years for hunting!!! I slid the V-blocks down to the limb pockets and installed Limb Savers and cat whiskers on the string and cables. Couldn't be happier with the speed, accuracy and silence with my heavy hunting arrows If you can get one for a reasonable price used, you're getting a lot of bow IMO!!!!

I thought $375 delivered was a good price...

I already posted about it elsewhere...

But here goes again.. At the ATA show one of the guys had a prototype that was about the length of a pro40 w/ the brace height of a Black Knight. Was shooting 67# w/ a 28.5" draw and was shooting 358fps w/ the "high" letoff and 362fps w/ the "low" letoff.

I don't know anything else.. just what I saw. I was in shock.

Thanks KB....

Don't mean to be stupid, but did they say that was a prototype for an 05 model, or was that Bowtech R&D play around after work model??

Either way those are impressive #s. and my wife will be impressed with me again, come next dec. ..............fishon
