RE: Bear Grizzly vs. Martin Hunter
It's been several years since I shot either one, but the way I remember them;
The Grizzly was a nice, handy size bow that drew and shot smooth as silk. I never noticed that much stack with it, but there was never a bow scale around when I was out with the bow, so I don't know what it was drawing. I was deadly accurate with it, but finger pinch at 32" draw was a little rough.
The Martin drew real nice up to about 29" and then I got into some stack. It stacks harder the further you pull it. At 32", my 45 pound bow was drawing nearly 60 pounds! It was good and accurate and shot a bit quicker arrow than the Grizzly. Since it's longer than the Grizz, finger pinch wasn't too bad.
They're both great production bows. I'd prefer the Kodiak Hunter over either of them, but that comes under the heading of personal preference.
