Pat,

You mentioned that ALL would have the stainless steel stabilizer bushings in them. Did you mean all the new bows? Or will older designs like the Mighty Mite T-29, Stalker,etc have these as well? Have there been any design changes to these older models that you know of?

Also how are the new cable tuners going to work? Is this just for cam synch?, or will people be able to dial out cam/wheel lean at either side of the split harness?

Of course all the fuss has been about the DC cam bows, but can we get some info on the new Extreme Solo? Will it be on a Pro Riser? Has Kevin done anything to the Infinity and PF cams for 2003?

What about the Pro 38? The brace height is quite a bit higher this year. Is it a new riser? Or longer limbs? Or both?

Same camo?

All the new bows will have W/C?

Anything new in the accessory line?

Will the new grips be available in different wood choices? Plastic?

Are Vibrablocks standard equipment this year?

C’mon man..Inquiring minds want to know!

Jeff

Yeesshh Jeff don't you have some work to do or soemthing?...LOL...

I don't have all the answers but I'll try...

ALL the bows will have the SS Stabilizer bushing in them.

I'm sure the cable tuners will be for both adjustments but I don't have all the nitty gritty on them yet.

We don't have the Extreme Solo anymore it's now the Extreme VFT
<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> It is on a Pro style riser but it's a refined Pro riser. It's been ligthened up some without losing strength and integrity.
The limb pocket design has changed and ligthened up too.

I'm pretty sure the Pro 38 just has a little more limb angle so it shortened up the ATA a little and gave it a little more brace height. Now only offered in one brace option.

Same Camo...

I'm not real sure yet which ones will have W/C and which ones won't.

We do have a 8 arrow One Piece quiver that should be shipping real soon. Very Nice I might add. I've abused mine (not willingly) and it's been very durable and it's also very quiet for a one piece detachable. The quiver will come with three types of mounting hardware, a bracket for the bow, for a tree and also so you can wear it as a hip quiver. And it also has the same carbon/aluminum arrow holder and hood the two piece quiver uses.

I'm sure the grips will be offered in diferent wood choices and probably a rubber grip too. Again no details yet...

I'm also not real sure if VibraBlocks are gonna be standard equipment.

There you have it Jeff and others.... I'm not responsible for any misinformation..Well, maybe I am...LOL...<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Cool...

So I can assume that the PF/I-cam is unchanged? or only minor changes like from 2000 to 2001 to 2002

Also about the quiver...how compatible w/ Mech's is it? will it have a double gripper like say the Bohning Lynx and Kwikee Mech quiver?

ES..EVFT...whatever <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

OK..since you think the P-38 riser remains unchanged (other than the cut angle for the pockets) does this mean the BKII option 2 riser/ P40 DC and P40 wheel will have the same riser as the P38..meaning the BKII option II will be a P38 w/ the DC system...and the P40/DC or P40Wheel will be the same riser as the P38, with just the longer limbs and new cams/wheels respectively?

was that clear?

Oh..what about the G3.2? any changes? will it have the new riser?

Sorry 'bout all the questions, there's just a lot of new stuff, and and now I'm getting down to the other things that have been in the back of my mind for awhile...

Jeff<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

It isn't pretty, but here is a copy of the info already posted.

Pat.

I noticed that no one has asked about the limbs.
I do take it that there are no changes in the limbs for the new bows.
That BT are still going to be using Gordon limbs.

By changes I mean no carbon fibre added to them.

Here is a thought wouldn't it be great if they used the Merlin Pro Fusion limbs.
Now that would be my dream bow a dual cam Patriot with Merlin Pro Fusion limbs. Oh well maybe next year.

Ausie,

As far as I know, no changes to the limbs.

All,

Pat is not around right now that I know of, but he did let me know a few things before he was off for the weekend.

First off there will be some slight changes to some of the specs..for example the mass weight lised for the MM was incorrect (it's lighter than stated). Minor stuff as I understand it.

I know there are also some additions to be made. Mostly small things, butvery cool small things. One addition is something I've been asking for in my reports, and no it's not the change to the grip.

However, I don't want to post specifics, as I'm not an &quot;official&quot; voice of Bowtech.

If I hear anything else or am given the go-ahead by Pat to post specifics, I certainly will.

Stay Tuned!

JeffB <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thanks Jeff.

hmmmmm now let me see if I can find your old reports<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>.

Nah too much trouble I will just wait.<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

besides that I am getting ready for tomorrows big out door adventure.

Hey Folks,

Pat is not around..ARGGHH...off for the weekend with his sweetheart.

Looks like I won't hear anything until either Pat gets back, or I get permission from my &quot;contact&quot; at the Bowtech Corporate Office. I emailed him, but I don't suspect we will hear anything till Monday. I've been BEGGING for REAL pics, and they are working on getting them out for everyone to see ASAP.

Ausie,

I can tell you that the thing I've been hoping for (and apparently will be done this year) has to do with the Infinity cam models.

Allrighty then...maybe if we all pray at the same time, Pat will hear us, and borrow a laptop somehwere and either post or answer my email.

On 3...

1....

2....

3....

*silence*

JeffB <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Wow, I know what it is but I'll be quiet! I'm very picky also with my set up. Sure seems like the folks at BowTech have been lurking on the web and listening to shooters wants and needs. It's going to be an interesting year for sure.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

WWAG,

Yep...That's one of the major reasons I love Bowtech. They take in every piece of feedback they can find,and more importantly ACT upon said feedback. They are extremely responsive, and very accessible as a company. That, to me, is much more important in any company than whether or not the bows shoot 10-20 FPS faster than the competition or have X brand camo, or my fave 3D shooter shoots their stuff.

Some other companies have had their customers complaining about, say for example grips, or any number of things, for years. It's not change just for change's sake, it's real improvement..and much of the time all those little things are MUCH more important that one or two &quot;hyped up&quot; major changes that are common in this industry.
