Lynx,

I have an 03 Ext VFT and an 04 Pat VFT and both are really nice bows for me. IF I had to choose one over the other, it would be the Pat VFT. It is smoother drawing IMO, has about .5" more brace height and I have to admit, this is the quietest bow I ever owned. The limbs are more parallel than the 03 model Ext. VFT. I really like the Ext VFT as well. The I cam is just awesome for me.

One thing I did was to shoot these bows side by side with others and that is where you really see the differences and can make a much better choice. Goodluck with the one you choose , they are an awesome bow !
