RE: BT Patriot 1st impression
jim36, check them out. You won't be disappointed. I have 2 and love them. A Patriot and a Mighty Mite. JeffB did a review on the Patriot. Very well done by someone who knows bows. It's on this forum somewhere. When you shoot the Pat you won't believe the speed, given the absence of recoil and vibration. I wish it was a little lighter. 4 1/4 lb. The Mighty Mite is faster, a little more viration and recoil. 3 1/2 lb. Both are very quiet. The Pat a little moreso. Both are 7" or more brace height and pretty forgiving. Both are very accurate. Not cheap, but I feel you get what you pay for. At least shoot them, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
