You could get $350 bare bow for your Patriot if it is indeed a 2003 in VGC. Keep your accessories and put them on the new rig. You are only losing $200 - $250 then.
For the amount of enjoyment your bow brings you that is a very small price to pay IMO.
As MO_Bow mentioned I have owned at one time or another over the past 2 years 20 some odd bows. Buy smart and sell smart and you don't take a big hit.
I just sold my 04 Patriot SC for $600 for the setup. So, I lost $400 dollars or so. Thats less than $40 a month for a whole years use. I got much more than $40 enjoyment out of it per month.
So losing $500 you spent less than $20.83 a month to shoot that bow over the past two years. Thats a bargin if you ask me
