Got this Tomahawk Diamond SS in trade last week, it is 64", #50@28. I have been wanting to try one of these bows, as I REALLY like the looks and design. Ive shot a few similar designs, and would say this one is among the top for "speed", and is quiet.
I really like the grip shape and size, but it may be a tad large for some folks. The fit/finish are top level, this one has what I would call a "hand rubbed" satin finish, really shows the 'boo colors off well.
These tips I really like, they arent as gracefull as some you would see on Dwyers, Mohawks etc. but they are well thought out and provide a degree of protection to the string loop/eye.
I still like my Mohawk better, but this one may stay around as a back up! Wish it were a 62" #45!

They are easy on the eye! Mine is a takedown, 58"s,50#s@28"s. Shoots great, smooth, quiet and is world traveled (went to Afghanistan with my verbally adopted son).
Beautiful bow! I have the diamond series woodland hunter. Best shooting bow I have ever held in my hands. I have never shot a Mohawk, But I don't think I need a bow any better than the "Hawk".
They are really well mannered bows, I love mine. Very easy to shoot. not as speedy as my Robertson or Great Northern but real smooth to shoot.
It sure is easy on the eyes. Congrats!
Ide really like to try one in a lighter weight, any body have one to trade??
Just a thought...what not call Bill at Great Plains and ask if the bow weight can be reduced from 50# to 45#. He reduced the weight on my GP longbow a while back.
REM< i didnt even really think of that, but good idea. The limbs are already aggressively trapped, so im not sure how much # could be taken off. I may keep this and keep my eyes open for a60-62" 45#.
