Is the Bear Patriot a "D" shaped bow, I cannot tell. I'm thinking yes.

I believe the Patriot would be closer to a R/D. My Robertsons load into a D, but they are R/d bows as well. I have always encouraged others to pick a bow and stick with it. This was also stated on the hill thread, so, I am giving away most of my Hill bows and sticking with my Robertson twins as my primary bows.

I'm soon to be the proud owner of one, my friend out of the blue told me he wanted to build one for me. 62" 47 @28 maple core limbs, Osage and zebra wood riser. It's done but I don't have it yet, pics will be posted when it arrives.

My friend built this for me just because

I don't have time to read all 17 pages of this topic so please forgive this question if it's redundant. Can these bows be shot 3 under?

Brianlocal3 · « **Reply #249 on:** April 08, 2012, 12:04:00 AM »

Yes they can.

Here you go Rob this one strings up with a D profile. I just finished this one with a slim handle and laid the belly ramps down.... does this one fit the bill?

maybe it's the pix, or my old eyes, but the limbs look like there's a small flat spot just before the tips, and not curved ... ?

I do see a slight flat spot as well, but man is that a sweet looking bow!!!

It was a tough fight, but I joined the "d" braced bow clan instead of the Hill clan, for now, sending out payment on my new to me Northern Mist superior tomorow. Oh I can not wait.

Here's my older Morrison mild r/d...It shoots like a dream...draws sooo smooth...and really puts the 63 lbs of thrust into the arrow...noticeable difference in target penetration.

BWD · « **Reply #255 on:** April 28, 2012, 01:24:00 PM »

Since I can't find a flat spot on it with a straight edge, I think this 7 lakes blank I finished up fits the bill. Date is wrong, bad looking pics taken this morning.
