I am going to get a new Bowtech but I am not sure which one I like more. Right now I am stuck between the Extreme and the Patriot. I am a 29" Draw and I prefer shooting around 63lbs. I want to have a speed around 295-300fps. I have shot the patriot but I have not shot the extreme. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

For you draw length I would go for the Patriot or the Liberty. Both is super smooth and shoot very well. Both would also be in that speed range. If I only had that long of a draw length

My buddy shoots 63# at 29' and get 305fps out of his pro 40 dually.
I dont think a extreme or a patriot solo would shoot 300fps at 63# at 29"
If you got a dually patriot it might
I just got my 2004 pro 40 dually and it smokes 30" 63# 325fps
I dont think a extreme or a patriot solo would shoot 300fps at 63# at 29"

I don't think you would have any problems getting 300fps with the Extreme VFT,I shoot mine at 67 pounds and 29" draw weight,paper that came with my bow states bow shot 317fps with a 29" draw,70 pounds of weight and a 350 grain arrow.If you are looking for speed,I wouldn't recomend the Liberty or the Justice,Bows coming in with new Freedom cam's are shooting slower then bows equiped with Infinity cam.But,I would also recomend shooting all of the bows in question before you buy one if you can.

The extreme and the patriot are both nice bows but the pat has a much higher brace height which would make it more forgiving.If you want to stick with a single cam i think you would get more speed with the extreme,but the pat woulden't be that much farther behind it.If you really want the speed and the forgiveness go with the pat dually.JMO

The Extreme VFT is fast, I found it easier to shoot than the Pat but that's just me, I have one the 2001 Extreme Solo that is my fastest bow of yet but I do like my new Justice VFT- it isn't as fast but easier to draw and feels great.



If I were you I would go back to your Darton and stick with it.
