RE: patriot single cam or pro38
I'm planning on getting the Pro 40 Dually to use strictly as a 3D rig (open class). On paper, it looks like a great choice. I'm just waiting for the dealer to get one in he has on order so I can try it first and see if it's "the one". It will be my first target colored bow (multi-colored black and pewter).
I'm compeditive now in my class and I'm shooting a Martin Cougar at a very slow 235 fps (do alot of yardage practice) so them boys will really have to watch over thier shoulder once I get "up to speed"<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>. The Cougar 2000 is a great bow but I should get some tremendous gains (the big ones being brace height and SPEED). I seriously looking forward to getting aquainted with my new best friend, if these things would start shipping already.
I made a few attempts at getting this Martin shooting fast (278 at just shy of 5 grains per lb. (4.8)) w/ 28 3/4" draw but always seemed to loose a huge amount of forgiveness with this one cammer. With the bowtech, the speed issue shouldn't be a problem. If I have to give away a little speed to get things dialed in then that's fine. With my current setup accuracy was always the comprimise I had to make for speed (with the combinations I've tried anyway). I honestly think my form can handle the speed, but this setup just got touchy at the speed I was trying to get from it.
I think I'm going to be shooting at 60 lbs, BTW.
It should be a great bow for 3D and the way I'd lean if it will be primarily for 3D, like the others said.
