Jason,

First of all, thanks for the job you and your fellow soldiers are doing for us over there. I for one, appreciate the freedoms I have at home, thanks to you and the 4th infantry. My 17 year old is just about to join the Marines (he' s a Bowtech fan), so I' m sure I' ll feel an even closer kindred to our men in arms!!!

I have the Bowtech Extreme VFT in 70 lb, 29" and I' m currently shooting a 367 grain arrow at 306 fps. It is truly amazing that you can get this kind of speed from a bow, considering how quite and shock-free it is in your hands. When I bought mine, I also tried the Razortec as well and it was equally smooth and quite and pleasant to shoot, just not quite as fast(I don' t know about cam sync issues, but I' ve heard it' s won alot of tournaments). The Patriot Single and Dual Cams are great, too. I think that when you make it back home, you' ll find that you have some truly super new designs to choose from in 2004 as well. I hope you make it back home real soon!!!
