also i can pull out my oldPSE Polaris express and shoot everybit as accurately with it as i do the martin.....and it was made in '94 and cost me 180$new(bare)...ive never "chrono'd"it but its probably about 190fps or so...
I bought the Martin Used because i felt that it was just much more SOLID/TIGHTER/just plain nicer to shoot, by about 300%(apples to Oranges) ButtheoldPSE wasnt any less accurate than the Martin in my hands...i dont notice too much difference in the new bows and my martin as far as quality of build and feel(apples toapples)..so buying a new(used) one isnt justified quite yet.
