Bowtech Patriot Dually

ssurles268 · 01-11-2004, 05:35 PM

Has anyone shot the 2003 and 2004 Patriot Dually side by side. I read where the cams had been modified for a smoother draw cycle and that sealed ball bearing have been added to the cams this year. I am curious if the draw cycle is much easier this year? Is it any quieter than last year?

I am looking to sell my LX and a dually has been on the list since I shot one last year. I was just not quite sold on the dually cause it was somewhat louder than the razortech. Anyway I ended up with an LX which it is a very good bow, but might have to upgrade.

Any help would be great.

I shot the 04, but not side by side with my 03. The draw was very similar. A little less hump into the valley, IMO. I think the 04 was quieter with the new hush kit. I have added limb savers and leeches to mine to help quiet it. If you are considering an 03 or 04, I'd choose the 04. I like the balance better, and the grip is more to my liking.

What is the valley like on the 04. The 03 seemed short, but manageable.

ssurles, on the Patriot I honestly didn't notice much difference in the valley. I just got my 04 Pro 40 Dually. The valley on that bow feels a tiny bit narrower. But in the shooting I've done so far, it hasn't presented a problem. This new one is a real nice shooting bow, as is my 03.
