You got a nice bow there pat.I really liked the Darton Avalanche Extreme but the patriot just felt a little better.
I do agree with ya though,Dont go a buy a bowtech,mathews,hoyt etc because everyone else has one.Shoot all kinds of name brands and choose the one you want and feels best in your hands.
Glad to hear the bow is shooting good for ya.

P.S---I really like the Darton grips
