BowTech_Shooter, Can you give me some input on the Pro 38 or should I say 36 LOL. Just some spects on the bow and if you have any personal experience with it? I would appreciate that very much. How it shoots recoil vibration speed etc. Not too worried about the speed as I have a 32 inch draw verified by Len in MD But what is it. What has changed from last years model? Is it smoother quieter or what? thanks for anything you have.

Brian,
Obviously I'm not Pat (BTS) <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>, but I might be able to help you some.
As I understand it (and I believe this thread is where Pat explained it), the 2003 P-38 will have a bit more brace, and a bit more more angle to the limbs...as you mentioned this should amke it shoot a bit smoother. Also the riser will be a bit refined to make it balance a bit better, and shed a few ounces.
Now that being said, I have a 2002 P-38...well not exactly..It's actually a 2002 Generation 3.2 Model that I took the force multipler off of. With a new string and cable, VOILA! Instant P38 option two!
This is the bow I'm hunting with this year. Honestly I was expecting it to be noticeably louder and have more recoil/vibration than my Patriot did. The difference is not that great..quite small, actually. The P-38 is very quiet,and recoil/vibe is low. It's also quite accurate and forgiving. w/ 29" modules at 60% letoff (29" AMO) and it shoots a 370 grain arrow at 278 FPS (2 leeches, a string loop, and tru-peep on the string). This is at 61 pounds peak weight.
With the greater brace and a bit more VFT, it should shoot even more smoothly.
Hope that helps some..
EDIT: I had also listed an arrow weight of 340 grains in the above sentence but no speed...that arrow shot 288 FPS. Sorry if that was confusing.
