Default RE: Patriot VS. Extreme VFT

OK.

I would recommend the Extreme VFT over the Pat dually. If they were both single cams I would take the Patriot with out hesitation.

The Patriot Dually can be a bit much for some people to handle.

First of all it has a small valley that is unadjustable.... You can set the Ex's valley.
You have no choice of let off 65% only.... The Ex is 65%-80%.
There is no draw stop on the dually.... The Ex has a draw stop.
The duallys are on the loud side compaired to the SC's.... The Ex is much more quiet.
The dually also has much more vibration in the riser and grip.... The Ex is basically vibe free.

Looking at it the other way now.
The Ex does not have sealed bearings like the pat.
The Ex is slightly top heavy in hand... the pat blances very well in hand.
The Ex does not have pivioting limb pockets like the Pat.
The Ex has 1 inch less brace height than the Pat

As I said it is just my personal experiences with the two. I would say I was not more accurate with one then the other, but the Ex was more pleasureable to shoot. You really need to get a feel for them both, you will know which is right for you after a few shots.

Now if you have a chance to pick up at Patriot SC don't pass it up. It has the best attributes of these bows combined. It is an awesome shooter. I have not one single complaint with the Pat SC.

Probably my favorite bow I have ever owned, although I am getting pretty fond of the Allegiance[8D]

Good luck what ever you do. I hope I answered your question.
