Default TomKat Package Accessories

Was looking at purchasing a TomKat package from huntersfriend i think it was, but was just wondering what the accessories are like that come with the package? Are they cheap and not very good or are some of them half decent?

Also, is this a good package or are there better ones out there?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Default RE: TomKat Package Accessories

The Tomkat package is ok. I just bought one last month and I love the bow.

Problem is, its kind of a catch-22 in a way. Yes, its a cheap package, and the bow is fantastic. The default accessories do leave something to be desired - the rest is the most notable piece that should be upgraded. I am sure you have noticed that the default rest is just a shoot-through, $10 rest. I opted for the new whisker biscuit.

The quiver is ok, though I dont particularily like it, as it is too big (I dont need 6-8 arrows) and is plain black. For hunting I will buy a kwikee 3-arrow quiver with matching camo instead. The sight is just fine, 3 pins, fiber optic, and plenty bright (havent shot at dusk yet though).

One thing you will definitely want to buy thats NOT included is a stabilizer. Not for shock reduction, as there is absolutely none, but rather for keeping the bow steady in your hand. As ugly and funky as it looks, I shot several arrows using the 'Wild Thing' that bowtech makes and it was definitely helpful in steadying my hand.

I would also try shooting the Diamond line of bows at a local dealer. You might be able to put together a better package built around the Rapture or the Triumph. You honestly cant go wrong with the Tomkat though - it shoots plenty fast, without recoil, and with almost no noise.
