I think everyone will be pleasantly suprised by the draw force on the 04' s. just because Diamond pays a royalty to use my patent doesn' t mean they set a bow up with the same pre-load, same cam rotation or even the same cam and mod geometry, which by the way is different.[]

The 04 Patriot hits peak at about 6.5" into the draw cycle, but starts dropping off faster than last years cams.[8D]

Yes, most people can draw more weight if the cams reach peak sooner only if the cam and mods are designed to drop off of maintained peak weight earlier in the draw cycle.
