I ordered this one way back when I first found out what colors would be available, I think it was late November. The Patriot shares the same riser with the Liberty and I'd bet the demand for camo Libertys and Patriots has had the target colored risers put on the back burner until orders have been cought up, just my speculation???? This is the first red/black that I've even seen a picture of so you can imagine my anticipation since I ordered it,,, I'm not disappointed in any way
I've personally only seen 5 or 6 or the '04 models in person and with what I read on the forums, they're going over extremely well This could be why it's been taking as long as it has,,, but I'll tell you first hand that it's worth the wait[8D]
