I bought a martin cheetah last year an im pretty happy with it but have never owned or shot i really nice high dollar bow... Just wondering how my martin stacks up against PSE, Hoyt, ect. Any input would be appreciated!

They are fast but loud and not really forgiving. Quality units no doubt. Are you hunting with it?

I haven't been in the game long and have seen 2 martin bows with limbs the have cracked. Wouldn't be my first choice for sure.

Yeah i hunted with it last year and cant wait for this year to start!

I have a martin cheetah as a back up bow, I have killed a few hog's with it

I hunt with my Cheetah, nothing wrong with it, paid like $379 at Academy a while ago. Looking to save up for a Z7 though.

I originally threw down on it because it was last years model and it was marked down to $220 fully loaded. Ive had no problems thus far and am pretty pleased with the feedback.

From the research I've done Martin's are excellent bows. I own the lowest end model they make(threshold)and I've been driving tacks with it! Robin hooded the other day at 30 yards. In my honest opinion they are a very underestimated bow by many.

Martin makes GREAT bows!! Compound and Recurves!!!

Gary's right...I graduated last year from a 2009 Cheetah to the 2011 Firecat 400 and it's blazing fast, but loud by comparison.

What is more important than anything else is WHO is holding the bow. I've sure seen a TON of want to be archers that THOUGHT they were hot stuff with the newest and fastest bow on the market that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Today seems the most important thing is Fast and New; while correct form is out the window, I can guarantee you that 85% of people that shoot bows don't know the first thing about proper form.... I see it every time I go to a range.

I have had Diamond and Bowtech bows in the past but now I shoot a Martin Exile and its blazing fast. They are loud because they come with basically no dampeners on them. Limbsavers will fix that issue

i thought seriously about buying the exhile but it was just so loud and not very smooth


i went with the bowtech

The technology poured into bows now doesn't set many much ahead of the others.

I have had parker and diamond. Now I have a marten Exile and love it compared to the other too. The bow is super fast and after puting limbsaver dampeners and limbsaver string silencers the bow is just as quite as my Dads $700 diamond and the martin is faster. As far as accuracy 3robin hoods later i decided to quite attempting them because it gets expensive.
lifetime warranty so no complaints

Don't get me wrong I love Bow Tech bows I just down graded because I don't use my bow enough to have $800-$900 tied up in it. So I sold my Bow Tech and bought a new rifle and the exile

i'm sorry i got a diamond not a bowtech.

i think i was all set up for $550.

its was around the smae price as the martin

I had a martin for years and shot more consistently and better groups with it than i do with my mathews switchback xt and my z7 xtreme

I love my Martin...
