J in GB, c903 is entitled to his own opinion. Who are you to tell him to lighten up? I personally do not think seductive advertising has a place in bowhunting. I'm trying to raise my kids right and they don't need to see that junk when flipping through "dad's hunting magazines." And before you say it, yes, some of them (not all) are seductive. If you feel the need to get off, go grab a Playboy. If their bows are as good as they say they are, they shouldn't need to stoop to this level to sell their product. JMHO.
c903,
Lighten up.
I love to read the threads about Martins advertising.
Seems people love it, or just can't stand it.

Honestly, I don't understand how your kids would get any "wrong" ideas with an add like this. You see worse than this on TV all the time, and unless your kids watch nothing but barney and the Teletubbies, they've seen worse.
I agree, some of you need to lighten up.

I find nothing wrong with what Martin is doing in their adds and I fully support their decision to keep doing so. I look forward to all future adds from Martin.

Just thought I'd post the other Martin adds from my archery magazines I had lying around. Only one of them do I consider even slightly "seductive" as it was put, and this is only because she's wearing short shorts and a belly shirt. Nothing you don't see at the local Super Market... I know there are a few more out there, but these were just the ones on the backsides of the magazines.

Some people really need to get a life.
Protect the young ones. Shut down the TV. Put blinders on them in public. And then tell them to vote for Bill Clinton. What a bunch of hypocrites we have in the world.

I was not referring to the good looking and sexy women in the ads in my reply. I personally see nothing wrong with the Martin ads or any other similar ads for similar purposes. I was directing my comments to the subject matter in which "Mathewsboy" insinuated some readers of the advertisements might use the ad photos for. A stupid and debasing thread.
