Martin Archery ads offensive???
For those who think the ads that Martin Archery uses with the pretty girls are offensive it looks like they were beat to the punch long ago!

It would appear that you are correct in your estimation Bowfanatic. 
Plus, I think it was actually the Darton or Carbon Express guys who started with the "pin-ups"...

RE: Martin Archery ads offensive???
Frankly, I'm sick of people being offended by stupid things. The Martin ads show a hot woman with not much for clothing....whoop-de-ding, I see one every night!
Why in the world everyone these days is 'offended' by this type of thing is rediculous. It's an advertisement folks! It's directed at primarily men! I'm guessing here, but I'll bet it's target audience is 18-35 or something like that. Grow up, stop whining and flip past if you don't like it. If the human body offends you so much then go poke your eyes out so you don't have to see reality![:@][:@]
BTW, this is just my feeling on the issue. Not intended to be a personal attack to anyone.
