Anybody shoot these bows?I just put down some money on the bengal.Went to cabelas and shot it and the pse brute and liked the martin alot better.Cant wait to get it home
-
I'm a Martin man too. They will have to pry the Martin SlayR from my cold dead hand... :yike: :chuckle:
-
My buddy has a bengal and says its very forgiving. martin alson has a rytera line up that is amazing. I have a bullet x. The alien looks mind boggling.
-
Slayer Extreme is my Huckleberry. I have always owned Martin Bows.
-
nice to see some other martin shooters on here.I like the idea that they are made in walla walla
-
my back up bow is my original Martin cougar magnum 2000. Very forgiving and still shoots good for a 10 year old bow!!
-
another rytera shooter here i have the triad though
-
I certainly enjoy my MOAB !
-
I've got an '02 or '03 Phantom with the magnum limbs. Just up graded to a new rest and next payday it gets a new string. I love it and can't complain as it shoots 315-320 ftps.
I do like the new '09 MOAB and wish the misses would let me get one.
-
i had an alien for about 4 days :P then i sold it... never even tried it out.
-
Martin IMO makes the best bows for the $. thier economy line is a great value for the $$ I used to have a martin phantom 2 before I started shooting Hoyt.... The new warthog is not a bad bow either, I shot about 40 shots through my buddies awhile back and at 350fps IBo its smoother then any of the other speed bows I have shot ( reezen, x- force, monster ) and it draws a little smoother IMO as well
-
I'm an '04 Phantom II shooter. Love it. Just afraid to shoot any of the new bows, don't know if I'd make a mistake and buy one!
-
Any of you Phantom II shooters know it you can add the CCS or the STS to the bow?
-
I certainly enjoy my MOAB !
:yeah: i love my martin moab. its also convient for me since martin archery is located in my town.
-
that old fury got me hooked on bow hunting , hated to retire a bow with so many kills , technology caught up. Never had a martin fail me , If you like the way it feels sounds like you found your new hunting partner . You do talk to your bow right ?
-
You do talk to your bow right ?
I do everytime I'm wearing short sleeves and I get slapped with the string while not wearing an arm guard.
-
I had a bengal when they first came out I absolutely loved how it shot....but it went through three sets of limbs in a year and a half. It shot a real tight group all the way to 65 yards but I just got tired of switching limbs out.
I sold it to a buddy because of how good it shot.
-
yeah i heard about those and from what i have been told is that problem has been fixed,I have only shot mine a couple of times at cabelas when i was deciding what bow to get and you are right it shoots very nice
-
Can you guys explain the limb problem on the Bengal? When did they fix it, where can I read about it, etc?
I've looked around, can't find any information. :) Thanks!
-
I just p/u my new martin bengal from cabelas.Cant wait to fling some more arrows.Sweet bow.Now i am going to have to sell my bear showdown bow
-
I am new to this site, but have read many of the posts and appreciate the knowledge and sharing that takes place. I have only been archery hunting for 2 years, or hunting at all for that matter. My father in-law got me interested, and now I have the bug. I have a Martin Ryterra Bullet X, and just bought the Warthog. I have only shot about 30 arrows, but like the way it shoots. Been working too much, and need to spend some time with the bow. Thanks for all the insights. I will contribute where I feel appropriate, yet as I said, I am pretty new.....
-
welcome to the site and that warthog is a sweet bow
-
Every person i hunt with shoots a Martin. We all love them. I have a MOAB and I'm not sure when or why i would ever need to buy another bow. It is great! The best part about Martin is their customer service it is unrivaled. You made a great choice you will not be sorry.
-
Thanks guys. I shot for about an hour tonight and I am happy with the new bow. I am in Bellingham, but they are right in your back yard Cory. I know that there are a lot of good bows out there today, and a lot of the guys on here have shot a bunch of them.
-
Nice to see more martin shooters on here.I think martins are way under rated and over looked.

The sets I cracked were right in the forks everytime? I bought it the first year they came out and I could never get an explaination other than" That just happens with a solid limb" I don't totally buy that but they never had an issue of gettin me a new set or sending them to a dealer that wasn't a Martin guy. So I'm really not that upset with them, but I just didn't want to have my limbs give out in mid August every year :dunno:
-
Just went out and shot my new bengal sweeeeet
-
Glad you like it Hunt. Time to keep flinging arrows and get it zeroed in. I have some work to do with my new bow still. As far as being under rated or overlooked that is OK by me. I did see that Hoyt felt they were a good bow company and good bang for the buck. I just hope they stay in business in these times for years to come.
-
I am new to site and i would like to add to the list of Martin shooters. I have an 07 Martin Bengal, and my 4 year old son shoots a Martin ultra lite tiger. Got my Bengal from Cabelas on Christmas vacation in Texas. Great shooting bow.
-
I shoot Bowtech, but my friend was on more of a budget and got a Martin and loves it, I shot it and really liked it, Really smooth and forgiving.
-
Iv shot Martin Bows since I started BowHunting in 1989 started with Lynx back when sight pins covered most of animal..lol..Now shoot a Martin Slayer Pro Series and love it..Who needs 350 fps. Just miss faster..lol
-
Martin makes a quality bow at a decent price, their customer service is outstanding and its great that they are made in Washington state.
-
Another Martin shooter here!!
I got the 09 Martin MOAB and found it to be a very nice bow.
I don't have a lot of experience with other bow to compare to but think it woiuld be hard to find a sweeter shooter. :chuckle:
-
Yeah I like the martin bows , I bought A cheetah last year and was very happy with it .I seen this year the cheetahs come new with a drop away rest were last they were whisker biscuits.All the guys I hunt with all use martins and have all seemed to be happy with them.
-
I am new to bow hunting this year. Will be using one of those old martin lynx's. If it worked then it should work fine now. I will probably upgrade before next year though, now that I am into it.
-
I know some one that just pulled his old lynxs out of the closet said it was a nice bow
-
Got into archery last year and bought the 2008 Martin FireCat. The Bengal I shot was smoother with the different cams than the FireCat, but I went with the more aggresive cams and newer FireCat at the time. I love it, but would also be very happy with the Bengal. Hoping for my first archery kill next week!
