That's not an NAP... it's a Diamond Hostage. It loads easily, and allows the feathers to pass thru unharmed without any drag. I've just been shooting it over the weekend after putting it on this bow Friday, but so far so good.

I am not on their pro staff, nor do I have anyconnections with Extreme... but that's the first I've ever heard of that. If the fibers are pulling back through the pins, it's a simple matter of mushrooming the tip out by holding a lighter near the end... I snapped a fiber in Colorado (my fault for letting the bow hang by my side as I walked through some brush) and I pushed the remaining fiber through, threaded it through the pin and melted the tip into a mushroom back at camp during mid-day. Good as new, and it's still the same way right now. In fact, it's the sight pictured up above, because that's the one that was on my Allegiance before I sold it last week.

Like I said, I currently own three of them, and am actually thinking of selling my Spot Hogg Hunter Hogg It (generally considered to be theRolls Royce ofhunting sights)because once I get these sighted in, they perform as well as I could ask of them.

I do own an NAP rest, if it makes you feel any better... a Quicktune 3000 I bought a couple years ago when I needed a quick rest to slap on a bow for testing.

Jeff, I didn't gloss over your question; I just have no idea yet. I made some dealer visits last week, but no one had them in yet. I think I got the first one in a multi-state region so far around here...

I'm tellin' ya: If you're a fan of smooth-drawing, stable-holding, hard-hitting single cams... this bow is screaming for you to give it a test run!!

I don't see shipping charges either... [8D]

But I do see this bow being in the treestand with me for the rest of the year... Or at least until my Airborne 82nd comes in!

Yeah, Frank, I started to write it in the orginal post... but it was the single cam Patriot that turned me forever towards Bowtech... that was one solid bow, and I'm glad to have something back in the lineup reminscent of it.

lol, that line is enough to sell me on the Marquis. My first Bowtech was a 2003 Patriot and I absolutely loved that bow.
