funny that you posted that picture i got my new bowhunting mag the other day and it took a few minutes to turn the page it is a very nice looking bow.
as many post i have read and replied to conserning you buying a bow i get the idea that you are pretty serious about becoming a bow hunter! and it dose not really matter , you are in it for the long haul. my normal post conserning this topic is, to not spend a but load of money on the first bow, but i think you might be an exception to my rule. meaning, i think you already have the fever and just do not know it yet. I cannot wait until next year when you get up close and personal for the first time with a bow. i think you ought to consider a better than begenner bow even if that means not being able to have all the bells and whistles when you walk out of the shop, hunting season is a way off!! Get a good bow, a rest and a sight , you will be able to shoot, and get the rest a little at a time.
as i already said this is not my normal response to the beginner but i think it is a good response to you.
I have absolutly no experience with martin bows so i cannot help you there but there are a lot of quality bows out there like HOYT that new cam and a half is awsome.
