RE: newb with a few ?'s before buying first bow please help
Welcome to the forums!
I know nothing about Martin bows so I will not comment on that part. I like the fall away ( drop away ) Arrow rest the best, But for someone just starting out you may want to go with the wisker biscut. I would recommend you try a bow with all 3 set ups if you can and that way you will know what you like best.. Good luck to yah!
