The Patriot is one of my all time favorite bows.... The performance difference between the two is astounding. With as much as you like your Patriot I feel you will really enjoy the Air raid.
I'm keeping it, in a way. Giving it to my son because he wants it, my right shoulder will never be the same after an injury at work last spring so I need to go down to 60-62 lbs., and I know these newer parallel limb bows have less hand shock. Also, though I've NEVER had the first problem with my Patriot the laminated limbs on the Air Raid is appealing
