Buck Magnet.....
I can tell you that I held one of BowTech's package bows and they are sweet(the "TomKat"
......it's like a cross between a "Mighty Mite" and a "Stalker" very light and SUPER SUPER forgiving brace height(actually 9.2" sorry) coupled with speed in the 290's.
The accessories from what I understand aren't junk......Tru Glo sights, GKF rest, new BowTech quivers and stabilizers.
I'm not sure what the difference is between the Blackhawk, and the TomKat, but the Tomkat can be had for around $400......the Blackhawk for around $500. If they are similar bows(they must be, they have the same specs) I'm guessing that the Blackhawk has better accessories. I didn't see a Blackhawk so I don't know.....
Here's a link to the "What's New" page of BowTechs site where they talk briefly about them. I'm sure as soon as they update their site we'll know more.

And don't overlook that "Stalker" under 3lbs....IBO speed of 300fps and a 7.75" brace height! (I think for about $300-320ish depending on dealer)This would be an OUTSTANDING mid level hunting bow.....it's got the same cam design as their most expensive models....and would still leave you plenty of money to put the accessories of your choice on it.
I'll let Frank, and Big John and others discuss the bows in Hoyt's , PSE and other manufacturer's line-ups because I won't do them justice.
