gromage.....I am getting mine strictly as a hunting bow-30" @70#
I have a Pro38 Dual Cam that is going to be very tough to beat for any 3D applications....I wanted 2 great bows, and since I commited to 60# on the Pro38 and 3D style accessories.....looks like the Patriot will be my hunter.
I don't think you can go wrong with either for hunting or 3D.....I chose the Pro38 for 3D because of the ability to shoot high speeds at very low draw weight, but either bow has a very stable shooting platform.

I'm sure the Patriot will see some 3D action in it's hunting attire as the season approaches.....it's just too much fun to shoot.

Boy I'm gonna have it tough.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
