Carphunter.. I read most of this thread.. And it seems that you need to get a GOOD set of new strings made from 452X.. which is the most stable string material on the market. I would suggest that you might benefit from sending your bow into Crackers for some custom strings. He also super tunes your bow so that everything is where it should be. He's considered a magician w/ these bows.

I am beginning to question the abilities of your dealer... esp since he did not want to creep tune your bow... prolly because he didn't know how. You might give Crackers a call.. you can find his contact info at www.cartersarchery.com . I owned an '03 Patriot dually.. and absolutely loved it. I hate to see someone like you having soo many problems... and I think the main problem is your dealers lack of knowledge and not being able to correctly address your problems. I understand that having this many issues can really discourage an archer.. no matter how good the bow might be. The member here and at archerytalk are always willing to help as much as needed. So if you have any questions feel free to ask.
