RE: Don't hold your breath on your DC Patriot
HotLZ, right now is not a good time to order any bow from any company. They are just starting to get the new models rolling & in some cases working out a few bugs that have poped up. As you stated the ATA show takes a lot of these companies time & sometimes they wait to see what kind of response they get on each model at the show. I would say wait & see, my local Bowtech dealer is having the smae problems oredering bows right now. If you really like the bow it is worth the wait! Sometimes dealers are at fault but givenm the time of year & the new models just rolling out give him a break & see what happens. If in another 2 weeks he is giving excuses then you might want to call bowtech yourself & ask what is up & see if the dealer ordered the bow.
