Yeah I’m not a fan harsh draw and I have owned two martin bows in the last 3years, they all had harsh draws in my opinion. The prices are good but there is a lot of good competition with better bows out there.  :twocents:

Depends on what you want to spend.

Others may not like the draw cycle or other features, but they may be talking about a lower model. The Firecat 400 is their flagship model. I have the previous year TR2 and its an awesome bow. VERY smooth, VERY accurate, VERY fast. With the new TRG system too, I do not know too many bows that offer a better bang for the buck. Plus you are supporting a NW Hunting manufacturer which is always cool.

If you are looking to spend under 1K.. feel good about the Firecat 400. In fact Bill at Nockpoint in Mt. Lake Terrace has a few there to try. Have him set it up for you and give it a try.

If you got more spend.. over 1K.. go buy a Hoyt or Mathews.. but realize the ROI drops dramatically when you step up to their bows while the price rises for not all that much more.

I had the saber too and yes I must say that both of those are on the mid to lower end of their product offerings as I found the Firecat to be a tremendous difference when I stepped up to it.

Still liked my saber though.. for the money.. hard to beat!

I shot one at Nockpoint and I liked the bow but it had a real skinny handle so I didn't end up buying it.  Had a Martin for 30 years previously.
