Default RE: FINALLY GOT MY PATRIOT

Congrats on the bow.
Here's my current 2004 Patriot VFT stats- not overly impressive, but doable-

Peep sight, string loop& bowtech string things

64# draw maxed out (ordered that way)
29" draw
395 gr carboneroes arrow= 273 fps
426 gr beman ics 340 arrow= 264 fps

replaced nocks with tun nocks-
388 gr arrow= 277fps
421.5 gr arrow= 267 fps (this is the set up I may hunt with)

replacing the factory slide with an alpine glide slide aquired 2pfs, but the cable and string are awefully close, I will have to watch for wear.
When the string things fall off I foresee replacing them w/ string leach's gaining another ~2fps.

Hope this helps, if you hunt over 64# the speed will only increase from there.

Enjoy, p.s. locktight the module screws in place after you decide the module is right for you. Mine were about to fall out when I went to try my 29.5" module. Your dealer should be able to get the right module for you.
