Default RE: Patriot single cam shooters?

I shoot with both an 02 and an 03 SC Patriot. They both shot slick tricks with field points out to 65yds. The 03, which as the TT drop away, also shoots wacems, ironhead 100s, turbos and stingers to the same point of impact. The 02 which has a quick tune 1000 fingers, also shoot well with the wacems and turbos provided nocks are good. I number my arrows and in any dozen find several I have to rotate the nocks on or even replace to get them to shoot well in the 02 with the fingers. Interestingly, those same arrows that need a nock rotated or replaced shoot fine with the 03 and its dropaway. My sense is imperfections are magnified by the contact with fingers while the drop away is more forgiving when broadheads are involved. FYI, both bows are set at 70+lbs and shooting 400g arrows (GT 7595) and shoot between 270 and 280fps (the 03 is faster even though it has silencers on the string). I for one am a fan of these bow. If they didn't shoot so well, it would be easier to rationalize a new bow!
