RE: BowTech Pics

What do you think JeffB? Man that DCPat. has a lot of holes in it! A lot of work went into these bows, I count 15 holes not counting what's under the grip and to think Kev was shooting one at 105 pounds? I don't know that BK Pro looks mighty good, I might have to try one instead of the DCPat. The Pro40 Wheely looks like it will be a good seller with the dottys! BTShooter when will we see the LadyHawk?<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: BowTech Pics

My interest, as of right now, lies with the Patriot Dual Cam and The Extreme VFT. Having shot a single cam @ 80% for the past several years I have reservations about going back to dual cams and 65%. My reservations are that I don't want to make 750.00 mistake. I don't think converting to dual cams and a lower percentage let-off is something one will perceive as a problem by just test firing one a few times.

On the other hand there is the Extreme VFT. Does anyone know what let-off percentage Bowtech uses when they established their IBO specs. Last week I shot a Patriot Solo Cam set at 80%, at least what the shop owner told me, and it was shooting 313 at 5gr/lb, which is within the specs of the Patriot. So I was wondering if the VFT was spec'ed at 80%.

All the single cam bows are tested and advertised with 80% let off.

There's a real good picture of the LadyHawk in the new brochures. Yours is on the way as is the other 151 emails I received after annoucing the brochures were ready...Whew....

65% let-off on the dual Pat<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>. I thought it was 75%. So thats where some of the speed comes from. I am shooting with 80% now, and love it for hunting. That 65% may just kill the deal for me.

I'm not real sure where the let off information came from but the tech information I recieved earlier said it was 70% on the Duallys, 65% or 80% on the Wheely and of course 65-80 on the Infinity cam.

BTS the 65% let-off isays in the broucher(sp). It is on the last pagefar right column, last sentence of the third paragraph. It is possible that it is a typo though. Happy shootin all!!

Bowtech Shooter,

You might want to pass on to the bowtech webmaster, that he should design the pages so you don't have to scroll to read a paragraph. Many who don't have their screens set on higher resolutions won't bother to read it. Just a friendly tip...

Thank you, good catch...I missed that myself...I'll call the BowTech R&D Monday to find out for sure and get back with the information.

Also read the paragraph under that one too. "Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy or information, color, and typographical content within our 2003 product catalog"

I'll find out... May be a typo since the BK had 65% let off last year.
