Rack-attack........I have a 02 Patriot and a Shakey hunter. Mine works, but it did take some tinkering. As someone earlier stated, that your nocking point needs to be alittle high, so is mine, but thats also where it shoots bullet holes. I wouldn' t use the rubber cord. How is it attached to the bow........to a cable and cable slide. Some people are trying the cable slide and it won' t work on the Patriot. I am shooting 4" feathers which are worse than vanes.
