you know i considered getting a new bow . i have an 05 patriot but when i went and looked and shot some new bows nothing was better than mine. some were just as good but nothing better. if you are happy with your bow. if it shoots well .if you are comfy with it and it hits its mark then i say keep it and start savin for a bow that will come out maybe next year or so that is better. BUT its up to you . you can probly get 150.00or 200.00for an 03 patriot. if you get a new one i would just keep it as a back up.
