Default Patriot Dually

Im looking at buying one of these, and im right on the verge, but the two cam idea is holding me back. Anybody who has one, have you notcied any timing issues? Do the strings stay in tune fairly well. Does the bow feel balanced. Any plusses or minuses would be appreciated. The final say will be after i play with one, i just want a little hear say from the owners.

Once the strings are shot in.. there shouldn't be any timing issues. My '03 has a slight top heavy feel.. but this is much better than the '02 SC I had.

With the quality of todays string materials there is basicly no tuning issues with dual cam bows.

My 03 Patriot Dually has been put in the press once for a retune and that was after the initial shoot in period of about 300 shots.

The bow would have close to 20k shots through it and is still in perfect time.

I will be replacing the string this summer altho the string still looks new.

Aussie Guy, that's quite an endorsement for Bowtech bows and the Dually in particular. 20K shots, no tuning needed and the strings look like new. That is the kind of info. that really helps and makes me feel better about wanting a Bowtech......Thanks.

I did not notice any timing or synch. issues with the Pat DC that I had in my possession...even after quite a few shots. As others have mentioned the issue of string stretch is not as much of an issue today as it was even 5 or 6 years ago. Balance is excellent on the new '04 model and the speed is there as always.

My only 'negative' is that the draw cycle is a bit stout and the valley is a bit narrow. Going with a 60 lb peak weight model makes both of these issues much more manageable.

Hope this helps.
