In my opinion, you can' t go wrong with the Patriot or the VFT. I have the VFT (70 lb 29" 306 fps) and I love it. I also test fired the Patriot and it is one sweet shooter as well. I chose the VFT for the extra speed and KE and I really didn' t notice the BH difference at all. It should be even less noticeable for you in a 27" draw. For instance, my son is shooting 70lb 27" 2002 Bowtech with a 6.25 BH and he doesn' t even consider the BH an issue.

I believe the draw length is 1/2" adjustable with the same cam module or you can change modules at a later time if you need to. The string I think are " Stone Mountain" and are very good. I' ve had no stretch yet and I' m around 1000 shots. Hope this helps!!
