Default RE: Bowtech or not??

I believe the Patriot VFT has the new pivoting limb pockets over the Extreme VFT.

When you test shoot them, make sure all the bows you shoot are pulling the same weight. Have them place them on the scale and set them at what # you want.

Reason being- give someone any bow at 60# and it should "draw smoother" (or at least feel as if it's doing so) than another bow at 70#'s.

Bowtech made a good choice when it sent it's bows out with string silencers and rubber dohickies hanging off it.
When I was comparing the patriot to another bow without the dohickies, it made the non rubber ladden bow vibrate and buzz a lot more. I was wondering how much of the buzz on the other bow would go away with some simms treatment, but didn't have to wonder with the bowtech. That smart move alone should account for a large some of the "after test drive" sell.
