The dealer in question is apparently a very new BT dealer, and not quite "up to speed" with all the different models and differences from model year to model year.

As for the bow itself (2003 PAT SC w/ out SandTraps) the brace height is higher w/out the sandtraps (1/2" IIRC), and it's still very quick...If you are a on a budget the price to performance/quality ratio cannot be beat...I suspect they are at or under 5 bills most places...How much you sellin' em for Rack?

I'd buy one myself, but I'm getting 80 pound limbs for my Liberty, so I'll have a "new" toy to play with soon, as it were
