im happy you got a great bow. ill bet you dial in around 280 . i have one question for our bowtech guys. i am a bowtech die hard i have loved them since they came out. i have had a black knight and now a patriot. why did bowtech discontinue the patriot? the tribute all be it a great bow is only a couple of inches shorter and is slower than the patriot. i am just disapointed the patriot was dropped. i love mine . its like seeing your favorite running back retired before his time. i shoot 68 lbs and im pushing 319 with my setup for tourneys and 296 on my hunting setup. still congrats on your tribute i bet its gonna be a tack driver.
Why the patriot is gone...
Gonzo, the patriot was a great bow, but this is why the Tribute pretty much took it's spot.
The Tribute is the same speed. (328 top end @30")
The Tribute is just as stable.(It has a riser about the axact same length)
The Tribute is more manuverable. (It is shorter, but maintains the stabilityas stated above)
The Tribute is a touch quieter.(I think, but it is definately not loader)
The Tribute hasa more efficient cam system. (The binarys)
The Tribute has less shock. (It has more parallel limbs)
The Tribute has a riser that is more adaptable to asseccories. (There is less of a cut out)
