Default RE: Opinions on a bow. Martin guys or others please?

Thanks for your help Coug. I went back in after work yesterday and took it for another test run. It's pretty nice to be able to shoot a bow with some of the silencing accesories and stuff on it. I ran it through the crono too. At the shortest setting with a 29" module and all the crap on the string, it shot a GT 5595 at 257 consistently. That was through the WB rest and pulling rite at 65 lbs. I bet most guys wouldn't think that's fast enough for them but I don't consider blazing speed that important to me, my ranging skills aren't that bad anyway and I have my lazer rangefinder for hunting and praticing my ranging skills.
Some things that I really liked about it were the narrow wood grip- glad it's not rubber- and how balanced it was in my hand. It had no forward or backward tip at all. And it is vibration free.
I asked him about warranty and he said he would treat it as if I was buying it new; which I wouldn't neccesarily expect. I went ahead and told him to hold it for me and I'll be taking it home today. Can't really see where I can go wrong with that deal.

I did figure there would be more than one comment for me but I do appreciate yours Cougar Mag. Are you the only Martin guy around here? That would be hard to believe... oh wait I quess now there's me!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
An coug. I was suprised to see finally see you talking about wanting a new bow, it just didn't sound like you. Are you not happy with it anymore or just ready for a change? Later-

Chief
