I like the sounds of that Samson.....I used to shoot 85# but had a hard time finding bows in that weight range.....this intrigues me....a 600 gr arrow going 260-270fps!!! I like the sounds of that!!!!

BTW...folks...that 350 FPS for the BKII low brace is with a 29" draw..not 30"!

I commented on them over on another post you left but I thought I would mention here as well that I am excited to see some of the new specs/options.

I saw some key words that I would like further clarification on though....

Dual cams, lighter, more brace, faster. This is approaching MY vision of the perfect bow.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle> The line forms behind me.

WOW! Looks like all the pleading and moaning I did works<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>I'll have to try it on my Wife! It looks like a great line up for 2003 with more options and speed with less weight. Dosen't look like I was too far off the mark on the Patriot I was wishing for. Can't wait to see um &quot;in the dip&quot;, thanks<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>, Russ.

Rangeball

Why the range of IBO speed specs, ex- BKII short- 342-350 fps?

What am I missing?

Using KE= VxVxW/450240, that BKII is putting out over 95#s of KE! Holy Crap!

Is it shooter friendly? If so, what a log pusher that would be.

Rangeball, The extra speed comes from being an inch shorter in brace height. The 2002's were the same way if you compared say the 30&quot; short brace BK2 versus the Tall brace 31&quot; they shot the same speeds. same as 29&quot; short versus the 30&quot; tall etc., etc.

Also take note folks that the brace height is now 1/4&quot; longer on both of the BK models than they were in 2002. And yet they retained the same speeds....

The Patriot, Pro 40 Dual and the BK share a new cam for 2003. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Rack-attack

Man that new patriot with 7.7&quot; brace and 332-340 sounds like one heck of bow<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
