Bought an '04 Patriot VFT S/C a little over a month ago, and a Dozen arrows...after shooting groups of 3-4 arrows at 30 yards, I now have 2 arrows left, busted the rest up...I'm too happy about the way I'm shooting to be upset, although I now shoot single arrows only at 2 spots on my target...so congrats on your bow, after it's sighted in, quit shooting groups...oh, and you may want to start out with 2 Dozen arrows
