Cougarmag, I am currently on my second Patriot an '05. I have shot the other new BT's and they are impressive. I just can't seem to find a rig that fits me so well! I did shoot the new equilizer and for my short 26" draw it might be one I pick up in the future. Hard to beat the Patriot. At 71lbs. it sure doesn't feel like. Smooth and that classic, awesome backwall!
