First bowtech,first impressions
 

Ok I admit it.I had to see if all the claims of you bowtech groupies were true.I shot the new binary cam bows and they are sweet,but I did'nt think I could get one in my draw length and weight before turkey /hog season.So I picked up a 2003 patriot.

Whoa nelly does this thing sling an arrow.That was my first impression from flinging a few arrows.I really like the infinnity cams.I find them easy drawing compared to many of the single cams(ie the mathews I have owned and shot)I can comfortably shoot 3-5 lbs more weight with this cam.The wall is solid.Lots of adjustability,easy module change,adj. draw stop and let off.I really like this cam.She's a good shooter too.At 27.5" and 63" I figure its between 255-260 with a 400 grain arrow.I need to find a chrono,but based on the arrow drop and my sight settings I'd be shocked if it was'nt close.That's with peep and string loop,no cat whiskers.It is a little loud,but some string silencers should take care of that.Overall I am impressed.Only one thing I gotta say,here piggy pigggy.:D Add one more name to the bowtech posse.

Welcome aboard. All it takes is shooting one!

Congratulations on your newly purchased bow:D I've still got my '02 Patriot and it still shoots great, which reminds me that I need to back off the weight on the rest of my bows now that I've got my Allegiance;):D
The Patriot has been a great seller and still commands a good used price!!

RE: First bowtech,first impressions
 

Congrats on the new bow. You won't regret your choice.

Welcome aboard! I bought my first Bowtech about a month ago. I had no intention to buy the Bowtech. I tried the Bowtech so I could cross it off my list. Well, I shot it then bought it. So I know exactly what you mean. Good Luck and Good Shooting!!

I think of it more like a cult. Ya got your high priests. yer temple worshipers and yer minions and last but not least yer god, the bowtec.

Welcome to the family - I, as many others used to swear by Mathews as the premier bow company- and they still are a good company -- they don't realize it yet - but they HAVE been caught;). Glad to see another from my neck of the woods - congrats on a wise purchase.

I saw the light in 2001. I think I'm a high priest by tenure. ;)
If someone in a Mathews shirt offers you some Kool Aid, DON'T DRINK IT!!! :D :D

My 2003 Patriot shoots so well it kept me from buying either the Allegiance or Switchback this year. While they were BOTH great bows..........neither one was Soooooooo much better then my Patriot that I felt I had to have it. In fact in a few areas I think each bow is a step down from what I currently have.

Haven't shot the new Patriot or Defender yet though.

I bought a BowTech Patriot in 2002. I liked it a lot, but didn't care for the grip or how top heavy it was. I sold it and considered another Patriot when the dually came out. I held out wishing in my head that BowTech would fix the geometry of the riser, come out with a smooth but fast dual cam, and correct the grip. Enter the Allegiance. I think they can read our minds!!!;)

Close, message boards and e-mails. [8D];):D

Congratulations, you will not be dissappointed. I chose the extreme over the patriot b/c of the speed, but that infinity cam is a speed demon. It sure is glad to hear from another coonass.

RE: First bowtech,first impressions
 

I always heard if you lived North of the lake you were cajun and if you lived south of the lake you were a coon ass.....is that true? The guys I used to work with from South LA would get mad if you called them a cajun.

RE: First bowtech,first impressions
 

Nice to hear from some home boys.SA If you are from north of I-10 your a cajun,south of I-10 it's a coonass.Actually anybody from north of bunkie is considered a redneck.

Thanks cajun. I wondered if it was just those guys or if most you adhered to that same philosophy. I have a bunch of family from Baton Rouge and I always had a fondess for the folks from LA. Good hunting and I hope you enjoy your bow!
