I have an 04 patriot and I think it is one of the best bows ever made. The best cold weather bow I think you will find. The draw force curve is awsom and that draw stop. It is almost like an anchor point in itself.

The only problem I have had with mine is creeping. The first year I had it I shot it in the extreme heat and the Ts-1 sretched like crazy. I was in the shop once a week twisting strings and cables to keep it in time. I did not shoot much last year, so this year I am going to put custome strings and cables on it, maybe even have it "crackerized" before I shoot at all this year.

The only thing I can say about this bow is if it has factory strings on it "keep an eye on the timing marks". Or just get a custom string and cables put on it.
