Finally found a bow my wife likes. Bought it used and had to totally rebuild it.
Tomcat, made by Buck Knives and archery. It is a dual cam(radical looking cams) 36 ATA(short enought so the string passes her big chest) 26" pull with a loop added I have it set at 43# She is shooting Game Winner " Terminator" carbons with 125-gm. " pig points.


I shoot the bow I had purchased for her, but she couldn' t pull it efficiently.
Evolution, made by Golden Eagle. It is a dual cam(more solid, not as milled out as hers) 38" ATA, with 29" pull, no loop. It is right at 60#. I have been shooting 2216 aluminum, with 125-gm " field points"


I recently purchased a McKenzie " TUFF BUCK" , maybe 50-100 shots at it so far. Talk about fun! My wife digs that way more then my paper plates[&:]

Her bow blows the carbon arrows all the way through the thickest of the midsection, and stick out 5" past, out the other side.

My bow, only penetrates about 6-8"

She is a one pin wonder from 5-30 yards

I have 3 pins to cover 30 yards. 0-10, 20, & 30 pins.

Ok guys, do I need to de-tune her bow? Shes getting a big head.

I have shot these same arrows before, and I didn' t like the way it made the bow feel. Like I dry fired it. Especially my old bow. Shot one of these carbons threw it, and it has never been the same(my old bow). It creeks and makes all kind of noise now.

Is her bow with less pull but a radical cam, shooting lighter arrows with a heavy tip, that much more efficient, then my set up? I see it is, with my own eyes, but should it be this way?
