The Patriot is built with a 44-degree limb pocket angle to create a unique laid back limb design. Upon release, this enhanced horizontal limb construction disperses energy vertically, in equal and opposite directions, with very little limb tip movement. Energy is transferred parallel to, and away from, the riser, thus resulting in near zero recoil and hand shock.

At the same time, greater force is delivered to the arrow with less shock and vibration when compared with other compound bows. The ultimate result is the Patriot delivers amazing smoothness and tops it off with reeling speed and accuracy.

"Most designs allow for some energy transfer that is perpendicular to the riser. The consequence is hand shock," says Kevin Strother, the VP of Research and Development for BowTech. "I experimented for more than seven months with over 100 different preloads, and I changed the limb angle six different times before I got the desired combination."

That determination led to an excellent all-around bow that lives up to the BowTech reputation of quality and craftsmanship. The Patriot's combination of speed, compact axle-to-axle distance of 33.75" and a brace height of 7.25" make it the smoothest BowTech bow available. It's speed and accuracy makes it a perfect choice for competitive shooters and hunters alike.

The Patriot is the introductory platform for BowTech's Vertical Force Technology. Because it is such a dramatic improvement in comfort and energy efficiency, BowTech is already making plans to include it on their bows of the future. 

BowTech, Inc. (www.bowtecharchery.com), the manufacturer and distributor of the world's fastest bows, was founded in 1999 by CEO and Chairman of the Board, John Strasheim, and by the Vice President of Research and Development, Kevin Strother. BowTech continues to be the fastest growing bow company in history. The company holds patents on the world's fastest single, dual and three cam bows, along with the patent-pending SandTrap Technology. Each is a BowTech original.
