Default Talk me out of it

I' ll be trying out the Patriot Dually in the next day or so. If it shoots as good as the last Bowtech I tried, I might pull the trigger. I' d like to hear from owners and non owners alike in email only please. I don' t want to create a Bowtech bashing thread, or any other " my bow is better" thread. In fact it would be nice if a mod would lock this and just bump it for a while. Its just as easy to make a reply to my email link as it is in this forum so please, email only.

I' d like to hear the things I' d experience going from a single cam to a dual. Maintainence problems, tuning problems, hand shock, rumors, or what ever you can give me. I' ve owned a 2 cam before, but at a time when I new very little about tuneing. Right now I feel pretty confident that I can learn all I need, right here at Hunting Net. [:-]

Nub, I don' t think there is a person here that would turn this into my MATHEWS is beter than your bow thread!!

Sorry, couldn' t resist. But than again, you know all about the Mathews.

With that said, my previous bow was a dual cam bow. And I never had any problems with timing or tuning. Maybe I was lucky, I don' t know. All I can say is....if it feels good do it.

I' d like to also reply here because others might be intrested. Think of tuning your dual cam bow as you would a single, just work with one cable! For me it is very easy to match the cam synchronization with just 1/2 to 2 twists of ONE cable. You may notice that your groups will be better veritcaly at longer distances and broadhead tuning may be easier. The valley on the BKII cams is very short and I believe that cam sync, if a little off dosen' t make much difference in accuracy. It does make quiet a difference in the way the valley feels at full draw IMO. I just get the cams to where they hit the wall at the same moment and go shoot! Once set, you may never have to do it again. I' m getting over 83 foot pounds of K.E. with my 71 pound Pat DC You should too
