I have the Patriot, and while I love it, my next Bowtech will be an Old Glory or whatever longer ATA/higher brace height dual cam bow they have at that time. The Patriot is a VERY fast bow, and should be an excellent hunting bow, however I feel with my 29" draw and the short 33" ATA that the bow leaves a bit to be desired in the forgiveness area. Don't get me wrong, I can shoot the patriot just as well as any bow out there when I am on top of my game, however a simple screw up on hand torque or shot follow through will send that shot flying. It is fine for out to 35 yards, I can easily keep the arrows in a 4" circle at that distance, however I really want a bow for spots and 3D that will allow me a bit more forgiveness. For hunting purposes though, I don't see anything yet that I would consider trading my Patriot for.
