When I tried out quit afew bows and settled on the Patriot VFT. I had been wanting a Mathews for sevearal years and the Bow Techs made me change my mind. I tried out the Ultratech and the Xtech. Great bows the handle was just to small for me. I tried the LX and the Outback also great bows. Then I treid out the Patriot VFT and the Patriot Dulley both in 2003 and 2004 models. I just could not believe the difference in hand shock and speed and accuracy.

I finally went with the VFT because of the sollid wall. To me nothing beats drawing back to a solid stoping point. Here is the line up

2004 Patriot VFT
72 pounds 27.5 inch draw
Gold Tip XT 5575 @ 290FPS
CJ 3 pin hunter {best site i have found} with afterburner
Soon to be Stealth Stabilizer
Winn Free flight SS Caliper release.

I think what ever Bow Tech you go with you will be amazed like I am every time you shoot.
