I bought a used Martin Firecat from a guy at work in 1996. Shot it in a 3D league for about a year, then it went on the shelf until about 2002. Still had not hunted with it at all. I started bow hunting in 2003, and shot that bow for a couple of years, and then decided it was time to get a new bow. Now I own a PSE Fireflight. Its still not the top of the line bow, but compaired to my old Martin it was a much better bow. Sold my old Martin to a guy that I work with. I envy you guys that have multiple bows.
