Default Well I did it!

Guy's I went to my pro Shop today and I bought my new BowTech. I went to try the Liberty and the Patriot, and ordered the Patriot dually instead I should have it by the end of the month. I tried one that they had in the shop and I just couldn't put it down so I put my down payment on it and now have to wait for mine to come in .Do any of you dually owner's got any tip's for me ?

Yes, make sure that whatever target you have provides a good back stop because with the KE that bow generates you are going to need it.



Congrats on the new bow purchase. Though I personally do not prefer dual cam bows in general for hunting I think the Patriot DC would be my first choice if I did.

Congrats on the bow.

Like Frank said know whats beyond the target

If you are using a Mekenzie target then SOAP your arrows before every shot

What was the bare bow cost? How are you going to dress it out?

Congrats Nubo.

Seriously Frank is right. You will find out if you have a quality target in a hurry w/ a BT dual cam.

My tips would be: Put a hundred shots on the bow before making any fine tuning adjustments. Don't worry about groups or arrow placement..just work on your form and shoot those cables in. Then after the initial break-in, get the bow fine tuned and don't shoot at the same spot twice

Ralphie! I have a Impact ArcheryCosmic site for now,but I'm also thinking of going to the Spott Hogg Real Deal site later. I've been considering a doinker Stabilizer and a Whisker Bisquit arrow rest .As for Arrows I'm leaning towards the Easton Axis 400's or I might go back to Gold Tip's with th Montec G5's for broadheads.As for the Price here in Canada I'm talking big money $950.00 so I better like it because I won't be getting another for a few years hahaha.
P.S. the wife was not impressed about me getting a new bow to start so if she knew what the total price was it might not go over very well,it's a good thing that I had a stash to go to or I'd still be shooting my Golden Eagle Splitfire which I'll keep for a back up.
