I used to own one too many years ago it was called the oneida tomcat,,,dont know why i sold it i loved that bow. Back then i used to shoot without a realease, that bow was a great it was a very forgiving Bow IMO and had a very smooth valley when drawn. the only thing i didnt like about it was the limbs, you had to be carefull not to bust them off the platform of your stand, if attempting a straight downward shot.
