I've owned several Martin compounds, and gobs of their stickbows. Still got a Martin Firecat stashed away. Had a nice little Martin Jaguar that I really liked a while back but decided to sell it after I got my ProTec. Selling it was due to no fault of the bow, it was just a situation I got into.

Frankly, when it comes to bang for the buck, I think Martin makes a great bow.
