Default RE: I shot the BowTech "Patriot" :-)

Personally, I’m busting Frank’s chops more than really trying to get him to switch (though I do think he should really try a loop for awhile). Obviously he loves those Hoyt bows, and at one time I felt the same way…I would try several different brands and always come back. Now, Hoyt has moved on in a direction different from mine, and Bowtech has kind of moved in. I was the same w/ HCA for many a year before I started w/ the Hoyt models “full time”. Seems every 5 or 6 years I get bored or disappointed w/ my “fave” company and move on. I suspect in a few years, Frank will hit the same. Heck I remember when he was buying Martins’ and PSE’s and other stuff, including his Magnatec….then he got that Havoc, and he’s been possessed..errr...that is…changed..ever since. I think everybody hits that level w/ one company or another. PW12 has his Merlins, Frank and Rob have their Hoyts, Matt and now I too have the Bowtechs, Ossage has his Mathews, Len has his Dartons..etc..

I think the fact that Frank could shoot heavier arrows, and/or drop his bow weight and get the same speed, more KE, similar noise and recoil, and a similar if not easier draw just goes in one ear and out the other. He’s in LOVE w/ that HavocTec….poor sod…

Or it could just be that his better half has been on his case about buying bows…this 180 degree “I’m sticking with what I got..I can't hear you! LA LA LA LA LA ” turn-around happened a few weeks after he got married…and that’s a most sad circumstance..I’ve walked in those shoes, and still do on occasion…the bows are getting fewer and farther between..but I’m able to sell a couple, and bring another one in thankfully..

Seems like Frank’s wife has LAID DOWN THE LAW!

Let’s all pray for his bowhunting soul!
