Default buying a new bow

i have been kicking the idea around to get a new bow my alpine rebel just lacks the appeal it once had. I have been drawn in to the new style sleek faster and lighter bows .I think i have the choice narrowed down to 2 bows an AR 37 or a bowtech patriot both 30" draw and 70 lb draw wt .
I am looking for anyone's opinon or experince good or bad with either of these bows or any suggestions not that i need to be more confused or add any more choices into this i will be switching to carbon arrows from XX 75's i don't want to get carbon for alpine due to the over draw and new bow draw lenth would be a waste of $$$$ at this time

I wouldn't narrow your choices until you've had a chance to shoot a few different bows. You might overlook the bow that's really the best fit for you.

Look at the Ar and other Pse bows, also check out the newer alpines.

You've narrowed to two might good bows.....you won't be disappointed between either of them. Don't let us talk you into which one, shoot them, compare them and you decide. I haven't heard anything bad about either.

As for arrows, I prefer Easton ACC's...but they are pricy..
