I wouldn't necessarily call my original post a "review"...more just a first impression. I won't post anything "big" until I have had further time to "play with" the bow as well as get the longer draw length mods.

SA,

Surprisingly, the bow isn't a shoulder-jerker despite the stiff force draw curve. The valley is relatively well pronounced and long enough to allow you to feel comfortable in relaxing some of those upper body muscles.

DLE,

There really isn't a comparison between the two bows in that regard and rightfully so. The Patriot DC is advertised as generating more than 20...almost 30 fps more arrow speed via IBO specs in comparison to the Razortec. In order to achieve this it needs to have a very stiff draw cycle as it is maintaining its peak draw weight over a greater distance of the draw forcue curve. The Razortec's Standard Cam and a Half feels like drawing a round wheel bow in comparison to the hard cam of the Patriot....at least, that is how I currently view it. Once I have the Patriot set up to my specs I will do more extensive shooting with it...then I can make a more informed opinion of it.

I will be sure to post more as things develop. I am sure that Jeff and I will be exchanging "notes" every day from here on out....
