Default Tomahawk Long Bows or Gamemaster?

I was wondering if anyone has shot one of these. I have seen them and they look to have some quality craftsmanship. Seem to be a fast bow also. My other option is the Gamemaster by hoyt was considering this because it is made to shoot a rest and being from washington state with all the rain I had a hard time keeping feather fletching from becoming a mess. Any input on these bows would help.

If it were my decision, I'd go with the Tomohawk hands down. But, why limit yourself? Idon't believe, but maybe I'm wrong that the tomohawk by 3rivers is a custom bow, meaning itis only available in a certain wood combination and only a 28" draw. But it sure has the price tag of one, even more then some quality custom bows.

As far as the feathers, there are some products out there that can keep your feathers somewhat dry. I just use hair spray usually. And rotate the arrows when needed.Make sure you have a quiver that will also keep the fletchings dry.

Once most people start shooting off the shelf on a wood bow, they nevergo back.

I'm sure torn on this'n. I get a lot better accuracy, and more consistent accuracy, using a bow with an elevated rest. But on the other hand, an elevated rest is more prone to breakage than shooting off the shelf. I keep bows set up both ways. If I could only have one though, and if it was to be mostly used for hunting, I'd be shooting off the shelf.
