A back up bow?
Given how far I travel and what it costs to hunt, I've concluded it would be wise to have a back up bow. I've been watching ebay for some time to pick up a back up(I presently shoot a 02 Bowtech Patriot). I was at the local Sportsmans Wharehouse and asked when they would discout the 04s to make room for the 05s. I was told they didn't know but they still had a few 03s in stock including a sc Patriot for $409. I was pretty excited as I understand there is/was very little difference between the o4 and 03 Patriots. Now I have to decide how to outfit the rest of the bow. My inclination is to set it up the same as my 02: quick tune 1000, spot-hog real deal and an Alpine quiver. I have been contemplating a drop away rest but am leaning towrards setting up the bows the same. This way, the only difference will be the narrowness of the grip and a little different balance point. (The 02 feels top heavy). Any thoughts on how to set up the "back up"? I wonder which one will be the back up?
