I' ve shot both bows but went with the BLK. but what I noticed between the both of them is that they are pretty much the same the only diff is that the VFT is lighter due to the fact is that it doesn' t have the sand trap pockets like the Pat. and it has a lower brace height. But both were smooth and fast,and quiet,but either bow you decide on you will not be disappointed at all,you' ll be wishing you could have both.
