Advice about BowTech Tomkat
 
I have a friend that is asking me for advice about the BowTech Tomkat. All I know is it is a middle of the road bow with a large brace height. Does anyone have any personal experience they could relate?

One of the best hunting bows for the money out there in my opinion.

I had an 05 model and loved it ( single cam). I had to use a drop away rest due to the large brace ht and was shooting a 420 gr arrow 259 fps with a 29 inch draw and 65lb. The bow is quiet and very lite. It is a super bow for what you pay.

Check out the great camo pattern on that TOMKAT!

Cougars09,
The tomkat doesn't come as a bare bow, it only comes as a package.It's about $500.

I like the patten on the far right arrow better, buck442. Thanks for the input guys. I'll pass it on to my buddy.

I ordered a TomKat but it hasn't come in yet. Could you explain why the brace height requires you to use a drop-away? It comes with a biscuit, so I'm not understanding that. Thanks!

My son just bought a 06 tomkat with the binary cam system, all set up with a fall away rest, sims stabilizer, sight, tube peep, quiver, six easton lite speed arrows, 589.00 with tax.He shoots 281/2 inch draw at 70# and getting 301 fps fast bow and he got the cool looking camo like the color of dried corn stalks,I forgot what they call it.

My dad just bought one and it is awesome. It performs flawlessly and looks smokin as well

RE: Advice about BowTech Tomkat
 
why would it require a drop away?

The Tomkat is one of the biggest sleepers in the lineup of any manufacturer, let alone BowTechs. I think that much of its attributes.

Consider this: Almost a nine-inch brace height and it's still screaming arrows at up to 315 fps!!!!!!!

MSRP on the Tomkat package is $579.

I bought a '05 Tomkatand I love it, its an awesome bow for the money, Tell your buddy its hard to go wrong with one, especially an '06 with the binary cam. BTW, I replaced my drop away with a quicktune 360 and have never had a single problem with it. But if anyone out there has had any problems not using drop aways id like to hear about them.

Marioncounty, you liking that 360?
Have you seen your longer range groups suffer any since switching to it?
