RE: thoughts on Martin bows
If I were you and the SlayR felt right, I would not hesitate. I currently have 2 bows, a Martin Cougar Mag and a Hoyt Protec. I've had my Cougar Mag for nearly 5 years now and it is still my go to bow when the archery season comes in. I've shot this bow alot over the past 5 years and only had one problem with it. About 2 years ago, I had a limb splinter. I took it back to the shop I bought it and Martin replaced the limbs in less than a week. Other than that, no problems. I've shot this bow pretty much non-stop (3-5 times an hour or more each time) for 5 years now. It's accurate, pretty quiet and reasonably fast.
