RE: GOSHDARNIT!!!!!
Jeff helped me out in regards to the minor problem I was having with the bow.
I apologize for being cryptic. It was not my intention. I am going to put something together to post about my experiences sometime in the next 24 hours...just bear with me.

Frank, tell the truth, you got a Rascal didn't you!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I didn't think it came in a 55" draw length or whatever your monkey arms are pulling! It's ok, don't be ashamed.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: GOSHDARNIT!!!!!
Shot one of them new Patriots myself yesterday, and I also shot a couple of UltraTec's 2 day's before that. I have also shot a HavocTec, CyberTec, and a ProTec a while back in my quest for a new bow. I have come to the conclusion that my next bow will be the UltraTec. I shot one with the versa cam and cc+ side by side. I absolutely fell in love with the UltraTec w/cc+. The cc+ just felt much smoother to me than the versa cam did, a tad faster also. The only downfall of the cc+ is that you sacrifice a little brace height, 6 3/4" compared to 7" on the versa. But I did see that Bear stated it was 7 1/8" with the excel cam he ordered. I would really like to try a UltraTec with the excel cam before I make my final decsision. I did not want to go under 7" on the brace height, but that cc+ is just so sweet!! The CyberTec was also a sweet shooter but the BH was shorter than I wanted to go. The HavocTec was another sweet shooter but it was a little shorter bow (ATA)than I wanted. The ProTec was real smooth with really nice BH but seemed kind of slow compared to the UltraTec. Now the Patriot, the one thing it does have over the UltraTec is speed but that's it. I thought the UltraTec had a little less hand shock than the Patriot did. I known I'm probably going to catch a lot of hell for that statement, but I shot them both and that is what I thought. Also the Patriot was heavier, and I wasn't real fond of the grip either. Don't get me wrong I'm not bashing the Patriot, it's a sweet shooter, pretty fast too, but I personally like the UltraTec better. Hope I haven't offended anyone or pissed anybody off I'm just stating my own personal opinion, but when you get up into that price range of bows, their all really great bows, it just boils down to what feels best to you.

Smooch.....your personal preference in what you like in a bow better NOT "P" anybody off here.....(or it's 30 lashes with a Winner's Choice string!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>)
Glad to hear you like that Ultratec.....it's a sweet bow and probably what I'd be shooting for 3D..... if it wasn't for my "Pro38" of course.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Imagine a 34" BKII...WOHOHOWOW! <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> Not too many McKenzies would stand up to 380+fps. No amount of Woody's lube would help pull those arrows. I'll be score keeper if we ever see the day. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Heck I've got BowTech in my blood and it didn't offend me any<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle> This sport wouldn't be as cool as it is without being able to choose from different equipment. I always tell people to try them all and make the decision for yourself and thats what you did.

RE: GOSHDARNIT!!!!!
Hey Frank,
You have everyone wondering what you bought and I think Ebay might have let it out of the bag. If that was the bow you bought, what was the dislike with the bow?
I am almost 58 years old and hunted with a gun all my hunting days until the last 3 years I started hunting with a bow. It's quite funny how this sport kind of grabs a hold of you and makes you want to get to some unmentionable level with new products the manufactures make. I am not sure we can get to this pinacle, but we sure are having fun trying.
