RE: 2004 bowtech patriort vft dullay
I have the 03 (don't think much changed really) and couldn't be happier. Adjusted the timing after 300 shots (out just a touch) and put another 2-3k on it since and it's locked on. Handshock? A bit, not much. Loud? No. Cat whiskers and the new ultra limb savers and thud-whiz-bang. Arrow noise is louder than the shot on mine.
It is a different kinda bow though. Loads up quick and minimal valley and only comes in 65% letoff...it's not as smooth as the Freedom cam but the power via speed has to come from somewhere and I prefer 65% anyway.
Go shoot one and see!

I agree with Trushot, The dually is a great bow. I think you will find that it is one of the most powerful bows out there. You really need to go to your local dealer and demo one, you will be pleased!

Hey Todd! Good to see ya over here in our neck'o the woods! 
For me the 2003 duallys were louder than I care for in a hunting bow..even with Limbsavers & Leeches.
But the 2004's are much quieter, and IMO the 2004 is a big improvement from a general standpoint...I do prefer the slightly wider valley of the 03, but thats about it.

RE: 2004 bowtech patriort vft dullay
This is my new dually and it's by far my favourite of the bow's that I shot when I was out shopping.It's definetly very fast but has a short valley but over time you'll get used to it .As for noise it's actually alot quieter than you might expect,and it's also very smooth to shoot .I installed a Simms enhancer on the rear and a Stealth 6" stabilizer on the front ,at first I had put the Vibracheck Isolator on it but the Stealth was by far the better choice for eliminating hand buzz and noise which was very little.This bow is absolutely great and I couldn't recommend it higher on my list of top bow's .I have a MZE for an arrow rest and am shooting Gold Tip's 3D pro's in 3555's in 28".I chose the Spott Hogg Real Deal for a sight and love it as well.
There were all kind's of changes to this bow this seaon such as Pivoting limb pocket's new engineering changes' to thee riser ,new cam's and much more . If you would like I saved a copy of all the changes to this bow this season and I'd be glad to forward it to you . Hope you like it .
