Priced at $749 in its 2005 form, it delivered a 342-350 fps IBO... read full review 2005 Bowtech BlackKnight Dually Brace Height 5.75 " AtA Length 36.25 " Draw Length 25 " - 30 " Draw Weight 40 lbs - 70 lbs IBO Speed 342 fps - 350 fps Weight 4.188 lbs Let-Off 65% Manufactured: 2003 - 2005 Specs changed, see full specs User rating: out of 1 reviewBowtech Patriot Review The Bottom Line:The Bowtech Patriot matters because it is where Vertical Force Technology started, the platform that first turned Bowtech's cancel-the-recoil idea into a production hunting bow, and two decades on it still shoots soft in the hand for exactly that reason.
