Trophy taker arrow rests are very good. Their quality is great and they have a great selection of arrow rests to choose from. There are a number of different types:
Original Fall-Away - very reliable design - a great choice for very demanding archers
Shakey Hunter - uses the same reliable design as the original fall away arrow rest. The Shakey launcher is a bit over-sized to make sure both arrow pick up and delivery are great even if it's very cold or you are excited too much
Pronghorn - This arrow rest is a fantastic fit for compound bows with narrow shelves. You can choose from small, medium, and large launchers.

#1 Got the Iceman in the shop today, and first thing right off the bat i fell in love with was the handle imo it was perfect. the draw cycle was pretty smooth. and my personal favorite thing about bowtechs ( they're rock solid wall.) was once again spot on. The shot it self feels good, but the iceman is a tiny bit louder than the admeral or the general, and it has the same kinda low fequentcy hand shock the reezen does, except it does not last as long. Its both light and forgiving. But the only draw back it has in my eyes is it seemed REALLY slow. so I took a 395 grain arrow our demo reezen 28inch @60lbs and the iceman 29inch @ 70lbs both with whisker busicuts and shot them through the chrono and the mathews only shot 3fps slower than the inch longer and 10 lbs heavier iceman... Other than that its a great bow, and if i weren't such a speed freak id buy it.

#2 Quiet, fast, nice brace height so it is pretty forgiving. the bow itself is a fairly small package and light which will be nice in the field or on 3D shootsExcellent bow worth the price. when someone talks of diamond being the lesser product of bowtech they need to do some more research that is not the case. diamond is simply the single cam line of bows, and bowtech is the binary cam.As of yet the only drawback i have found is after only a few shots the rubber string silencers on the strings had fingers that were tearing off due to the speed. in my opinion the bow is so quiet they aren't really needed.

The Diamond IceMan cometh. And with it comes deadly quiet, vibration-damping Center Pivot riser technology. The Ice Man’s single-piece riser begins as a 29 3/4" piece of durably forged aluminum. The forging process retains the structural integrity of the aluminum at a molecular level. The resulting strength and stiffness not only ensures precision, but enables us to remove more material during the machining process for a sleek, skeletal and lightweight riser. Single-piece riser design combines with our Zero Tolerance Assembly process to guarantee consistent shot placement shot after shot. The unique carbon shaft string supressor is directly in line with the stabilizer bushing to transfer vibration away from your hand. Our unique single rotating mod enables draw length adjustment over a seven-inch range in half inch increments, providing a custom fit to your specification, then allows you to pass the bow on to different sized friends or family as you bring them into the amazing world of bowhunting with a Diamond.

#1 I have a Ross Carnivore 34 and to say I'm impressed with the Bow would be a Big understatement!!
I used it in NE to tag 2 Merriam Turkeys.
From the time I got the bow, set it up, tuned it, and sighted it in, I was Impressed.
The Bow is very Stable, Super Smooth to Draw, Holds & aims like a rock, and groups arrows tight.
I may have to have another one. Either the 31 or the 37. Anyone shopping for a New hunting bow in the $600 range would be doing themselves a Great injustice if they did Not take time to shoot the Carnivore!!
I have drawn the Swat, but I have not shot it. IBO they are within 2 fps, and price is pretty much the same. Shoot them both! One should stand out after you shoot a while.

#2 Shot a new 2009 Ross Carnivore and HOLY **** amaznigly smooth draw and very very fast. 71# 29" draw with a 350gr arrow 328fps chrono'd. I shot the 31" A.T.A. bow and yeah its short fast and quiet with no string suppresors, no stabilizer and the new Octane drop away. Yeah this might be a new bow for me if I can afford one in '09

Unleash predatory power!
Powerful yet sleek, the Carnivore assaults the prey of your choice with lethal force, leaving a path of carnage in its wake. Its Hybrid Cam System features two asymmetric cams for an ultra-smooth draw, coupling smoothness with speed to ensure a quick kill. Nock travel is perfectly level, resulting in easy tuning for greater accuracy. Like the tendons of a crouching predator, the innovative Krank pulley system harnesses the most powerful limbs in the industry—at full draw, it creates a 2:1 load ratio that allows for increased cable tensions. The Krank’s unique split buss cable configuration on both the top and bottom limbs eliminates cam-lean and provides unmatched stability.

#1 A great bow at a great price. When I was looking for the best value for money I read quite a few reviews about mid-level compound bows. I compared dozens of bows and drew to conclusion that Parker Phoenix represents the best value for money. I can't explain how happy I am with the purchase. Great bow - works very well for me. Very reliable, accurate, and quiet. What a great choice for any compound bow fan!

Bottom line is that it is the last bow you will own. It's fast,quiet, dependable and has the power to take down big game. It has big bow features in a small package. It's rugged and will stand up to what you can dish out. With it's lifetime warranty, you won't ever be disappointed.

#1 I purchased a new Martin Firecat and so far really enjoy it. I was shooting a 427 grain arrow at just over 300 FPS. I shot all of the other bows I found in two shops and only the Bowtech 82nd came close. All of the bows were 30 inch draw at 70 lbs. with the same arrow. The Firecat felt the best to me when I shot as well as being the fastest. I believe that there is something to the issue of having been tuned up. I think a 350 grain arrow would have been quite a bit faster, but I don't know about reaching the advertised speed.

#2 I just purchased the new firecat pro after shooting around with the other top dog's. The reason was it just felt good in my hands,and after test firing it several times i fell in love with it!!!This is my first ever martin bow and it is as advertised: Very fast,smooth,light and QUIET!! I shoot 29" carbon redhead 350's 100grain nap broadhead 65lb @ a blistering 322fps. I would highly recommend try shooting one if you are looking at new bows.

THE Hottest selling bow for 2008 has gotten even Hotter!! The Firecat Pro-X took the bowhunting enthusiast by storm in 2008 and look for a repeat in 2009. The new 2009 Firecat mirrors the overall specs of its earlier counterpart, but with one bold improvement. The addition of the new CCS, or Cable Containment System. The CCS captures both control cables in a single offset position constraining them in place, offering a smoother, quieter and even more vibration free shot than ever before. Adding our Cat Hybrid-Duo cams and laminated limbs into the mix and you can be sure of one thing… more success... more 1st place belt buckles, bigger antlers on the wall, and more venison in your freezer!
