I've never heard anything bad about Martin before, shoot one if you can and see how you like it!

I have A Firecat TR2 for hunting. Solid fast accurate and quiet!

I've been shooting Martin bows for the last 5 years for hunting and target.........I have a Cougar, S4, Firecat, and just bought a New Shadowcat. The shadow cat is the best shooting bow I've ever owned!

With all the arrows I shoot and the only problem I've ever had is a cracked limb yoke, but them limbs had many, many arrows through them!

Martin makes great bows!!!
