How many of you had the pleasure of Martins Advertising Scheme accompanying you while you used the facilities?

Dont lie now...

I wonder if she has ever shot a BOW..

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

What does it matter if she's shot a bow before? She's hot. She's holding a quality bow. She's hot. What does it matter?

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

She's holding something??;):D

What does the subject have to do with bowhunting?[:'(] Also, are you addressing men and women?

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

You keep holding on to "THAT" and people are going to talk.

:D

There is a copy of Bowhunt America down at the shop on the shelf next to the throne. It took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about. I did not notice the woman in the picture.

Honest.

c903,

Lighten up.

I love to read the threads about Martins advertising.
Seems people love it, or just can't stand it.

I enjoy it! ;)

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

The ads just make me want to shoot my Martin that much more.:D

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

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. ;)

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

Now that was just plain funny.:D

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

Sorry, but in MY opinion, you guys need to lighten up. JMHO.

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

all this talk, this must be one hot chick. So where can I see this ad?

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

Okay cmon share the love, wheres the doe at...

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

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'd rather see a beautiful woman holding a bow than two companies bashing each other in their adds. (IE Mathews/Hoyt) I trust that you're against the use of any attractive woman in any kind of advertising. What's the difference between Martin using women in their adds as opposed to a car manufacturer using one in theirs? Do you make your children leave the room when a "seductive" looking woman appears on the television screen promoting the new Dodge Hemi trucks? I'm sorry if you take offence to what I'm saying, but it seems awfully wrong of you to say these things about this company without believing the same about any other company using the same techniques.

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.

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

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.

(Slightly seductive one)





What's not to like?

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.

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

I don't know why this is even an issue with anyone ,I guess you can use the kid's as an excuse but I don't see anything wrong with these add's at all . The kid's are going see these thing's it's part of life You can't even read a new's paper without seeing these type of add's .THIS is part of life where have you been.

All I have to say is if that fat ugly woman is suppose to get me to buy a Martin bow than they have not seen my wife yet, maybe they should hire her instead.;)

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

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.

RE: Ok, HOW many of you had the pleasure of.....
 

I love blondes. No offense to any brunette ladies on the board. Im a Hoyt guy, but man I might have to buy a Martin!!! Not! But I will enjoy looking at their ads.
