3 bows in mind , which to choose ?
I am currently looking into buying my first bow in package form , 3 in mind but which ? . $500 -$600 my maximum spend .
Fred Bear Instinct
Martin Bengal or Cheetah Magnum
Bowtech Tomkat
I can only import these bows , so therefore cannot try them out first .

Tomkat is more expensive then the Bear or Martins.
So if I had to choose from those w/o price, I'd say Tomkat with binary cam and a little faster. I'm not sure if you can get a Tomkat w/o a package though.
But for the money, both the Bear and those Martin's are supposed to be great values.

never have shot any of the bows u listed, but heard the new bear bow was great bow for the money,although any of the 3 would probably work just fine.I would try to shoot some of my buddies bows first and go from there.

I would really like to stretch to the Tribute , but this is my first bow and all bows i am looking at will come in bow package with all the right bits .
i have just found a dealer in the UK that sells the Tomkat in package form for 400pounds sterling which aint bad ,look like it comes with crappy sight , quiver , compared to the bits i have seen fitted in America . will see what the import price comes too first , but am gonna try it out at the shop anyway . thanks

they are all good bows so you cant go wrong there. Personally I would consider buying a slightly used tribute or allegiance or a switchback or something like that. You should be able to find a like new one for that price range.
