Ya know every time I open the 3Rivers catalog I have to take a longing look at their Tomahawk Bows.
I have not run across anyone shooting them nor have I read anything on any of the trad sites about them. Does anyone have any experience with them? Are they all that they are advertised?
I too, would be interested on what other's thought about them.
You may want to move this from the Shooters Form part of the board to the Pow Wow part of the board to get more response.
Okay. I'm new to this site. Can I move it or do I have to re-post it?
I've been shooting one for a while, a 40# SS with the stock 18 strand string and now with the Ultra skinny 6-strand SBD string (sponsors here). It's a fast, stable bow, but it has a bit of handshock, compared to others. It doesn't bother me and it behaves much better with the SBD 6-strand string. Bow is very fast, and has a great cast. The grip fits MY hand very well, but that is subjective: I believe they have a try-before-you-buy program.
Woods and finish are OK: no great figure, but good enough tones, the dirty boo is OK. The yew has a good deep orange color. I like the phenolic in the riser, it gives it a hair more weight in the riser, for such an overall light bow. The finish is what I'm the least impressed with: it seems to scuff and scratch easily. For an $800 bow, it should be better. They are built by Great Plains bowyer for 3Rivers. He knows how to make a bow; I have a great time shooting it and am very consistent with it. But for the money you can do better. try it and see for yourself: for that cost it HAS to fit your style, grip, preference.
