I like both bows really, but I think w/ the Pat DC' s extra inch and a quarter brace height, and slighly less reflex riser it will be the more forgiving bow for most archers. However, The VFT shooters are not finding them hard to shoot at all w/ the low brace height.

A fellow I helped out bought a 28" DC PAT from the shop a few months ago and over on ArcheryTalk he posted he was getting a speed of 269 FPS w/ a 374 grain arrow @ 56 pounds. I was not there when he picked up the bow, so I' m not sure what he has on the string.

Shoot ' em both and decide what will work better for you.
