I had a thread similar to this last year entitled the perfect bow(or something to that effect). Anyway, it was kinda scary because a couple of months after that post here comes the "Patriot". I did everything but paint the picture of the Patriot. I guess someone was listening.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> That being said and not wanting to be a hypocrite I am going to stick with the Patriot as the perfect hunting bow.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Ok, I'd go with a longer reflexed riser similar to many companies today, but made of carbon with the emphasis on shock absorbtion and not lighter overall mass weight, would weigh the same as a comparable machined aluminum riser. Overall mass weight of the bow would be around 3# 4oz...

I had one of those and it blew up while it was just setting there. It had only been shot about 10 times. The riser literally snapped and flew into 2 seperate pieces about 2 inches below the top limb pocket. The string and cables is the only thing that kept the top half of the riser from shooting across the room. HCA's answer was that it must have been a bad batch of carbon.<img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle> I not so politely asked that they send me an aluminum one in return.
