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.
Add one more name to the bowtech posse.

Congratulations on your newly purchased bow 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
The Patriot has been a great seller and still commands a good used price!!

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!!

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.

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.
