I shot all three and they were all nice! My favorite was the cheapest one that looks like a Tomcat. Try Cabela's too. They have a few really nice store brand bows made by Parker.

the Kronik for the price isn't bad....
the Toxik is extremely top heavy falling forward and check to make sure you will have clearance if shooting a cock feather up rest..more than likely you will hit the cables, especially if shooting blazers
the Kryptic is pretty nice bow, basically a split limb black ice....no real savings in price for it being a redhead brand

I shot many bows at Bass Pro before i bought my Kronik. For how I shoot (first bow) i could not tell the difference b/t the Kronik and Martin firecat. To me it felt better than the Bear and PSE that were about the same price (mid $400.00-$500.00). Plus the Kronik was on sale and I got 10% off with my Bass Pro card.(only reason i shopped at a chain store) Trust me i'm no expert, but i'm shooting 4 inch groups at 35 yards with it after a change of sights...im sure a good archer could do much better with it. The only downside is the odd looks from buddies and when I went to the local shop to buy broadheads and a new sight b/c its not a name brand. The local shop sells bowtech so they supported my choice after they realized it is made by bowtech. They were even curious about it when i took in two arrows to have the nocks replaced after two very close shots

I think that the Kronik and the Toxik are your best choices. For the money though the Kronik is going to be a very hard bow to beat.

I kind of prefer the Toxik of all the BP bows. I don't find it top heavy. I work at a BP - we have 3 staff members (Well, 2 actually. One guy got fired last month 
) who own these bows and they love them.
While it does look like you might have cable/vane clearance problems, of the staff members and customers who have bought that bow, nobody has complained about it to me.
Very nice, easy draw. Not a speed bow, but a nice, well-built quiet hunting bow.

·I bought the Kronik last year as my first bow.I changed rest to a WB and put on a Meta peep (G5).I adjusted the cock vane to cure clearance issues w/ Blazers.For all I know it shoots great.4" groups @ 40yds.Not the fastest or the quietest,But a sweet little bow when your wife has you on a budget!!!
i just got off work at 730 we were slammed today. the season is upon us. I setup and tuned 3 toxics just today all with QADs perfect holes with in 2-3 shots thru paper. yes there is some clearance issues but throw a new slide on and its gone I shot this bow for awhile and we sell the toxic the most out of all to the people that want a great bow but not the price.
the kronik is ok not a fan of the hostage rest but its smooth and quite dont plan to see much speed out of it but its a great short ata hunting bow

Been shooting a Kronik for about 4 months now. Great little bow for the money; fast, accurate, quiet, shooting 288fps through a local archery shop's chronograph. With Muzzy 3-blade 100gr I plan on putting some fresh venison on the table with it this year.

Diamond Toxik
I just recently purchased a 2008 Toxik, compared to a few other higher end bows i've shot this one is a good deal for the price. Smooth draw, and good let off. Havent checked how fast it's shootin but it aint slow, thats for shure. The only problem I had was with the "professional" at Bass Pro that set up my bow. Boy was he off, I'm a 28" draw length and he tried to convince me that I was a 25" draw. It took a manager with a tape measure to convince this guy that I was telling the truth. They had to reset the bow and for the hassle gave me a new box of carbon fury arrows(not to mention they were cut too short the first time) Besides that I am very pleased. You cant help people for thinking they know what they're doing when they really dont. Check this bow out, I think you'll be suprised.
