Well, I'll go against the grain here, Jerry made me a 4" 6oz for my Patriot and I like it a lot. Main reason I bought my bow was for the compact size and light weight. The 4" Stealth stays "inside" the limbs/riser and doesn't stick out past the limb pockets, therefore keeping the bow compact. Also for hunting, I prefer to keep my bow light since I do a lot of walking so I got the 6oz keeping my bow light weight.

I have thought about getting a 6" 8 oz model for shooting 3D or plinking in the backyard, I could see where the longer/heavier models would help in that scenario.
