RE: FOB's

They will definitely not go through a deer. That's actually one of the nice features, though. When the arrow contacts the deer, the fob will fall off and mark the point of impact, making it easier to...

RE: Future equipment on my tomkat

I had the NoPeep on my TomKat, but replaced it with an Anchor Sight. I like it MUCH better.

RE: BOWTECH HOSTAGE REST&BLAZER VANES

RE: MeanV STS

The MeanV CSS won't fit on a TomKat. You'll need to buy a front-mountable one from STS Archery. I have one on my TomKat.

RE: peep or no peep

Last year, I ditched my peep and used the No-Peep. This year, I've replaced that with the Anchor Sight, which I think is far superior.

RE: lumenok

I prefer the Tracers over Lumenoks. I was skeptical about the magnets working reliably, but I've never had one fail. I hate having to wiggle my Lumenoks loose to turn them off.

I'm always VERY mindful of that myself. I have a Double Bull Matrix 360 and I have plenty of room in there for my Excalibur, but I still sit in the back corner to give my limbs plenty of room to flex!

I assume they would be heavier than a regular nock, which would throw your arrow's balance off. I could be wrong, though.
