I've never heard anything bad about Martin before, shoot one if you can and see how you like it!

I have A Firecat TR2 for hunting. Solid fast accurate and quiet!

I've been shooting Martin bows for the last 5 years for hunting and target.........I have a Cougar, S4, Firecat, and just bought a New Shadowcat. The shadow cat is the best shooting bow I've ever owned!

With all the arrows I shoot and the only problem I've ever had is a cracked limb yoke, but them limbs had many, many arrows through them!

Martin makes great bows!!!

lol, I think you may be right. One question, Does she come with the bow? Anyway in all seriousness, do martins come close to thier advertised IBO? I'm getting a new bow when the newer models come out. So i'm looking, I just want to know if a bengal or firecat is a good step up from a pse stinger? I have had zero expierence with martins. Although i have a few buddies that shoot them. I'm looking for a faster bow. Not trying to jack this thread, just figured it's on topic so no need to start a new one.

Not with the one I bought, but then maybe the previous owner just didn't include her in the package:s3:

Great bow though!
