Dennis,

Unless you have the itch for something right now, I would probably reccomend holding off till the 2004' s come out. Right aorund the corner the new year is!

That said, I prefer the Pro 40 for holding/balance. It also draws a bit smoother draw for draw, pound for pound.

The DC PAT' s brace height helps, but I' m not sure I culd tell much diff between the two.

Were I to do it again, I' d buy another DC PAT, simply because for hunting I like the specs better. If it' s gonna do double duty as a target/3D bow, the by all means go w/ the 40; it will help oyu pick upa few more points here and there.

Who knows?, they might have something totally new replacing them both for 2004![]
