I have a 2002 model Bowtech Patriot,just bought it last Novemeber,I' m shooting this bow for TARGET' s only,never hunted with it,I have a Bowtech PRO38 that I use for hunting.The problem I have is,the finish on the riser around the grip is wearing off,almost white in color now.Is anyone else having the same problem with any of there Bowtech bows?I have e-mailed Bowtech about this,they say they DO NOT warranty the finish?In my opinion that SUCKS!Like I said the bow is less then 5 months old and loks like CRAP! And looks like Bowtech isn' t going to do anything about it??[:@]
