Title: Martin Freedom
Post by: Outrigger on April 08, 2017, 02:05:00 PM
Any thoughts here on the Martin Freedom? I have been shooting a Dream Catcher for the last ten years, but I am thinking about dropping five pounds in draw weight.

That Dream Catcher is a very nice bow - I believe it was the top of the line, nicer than the Hunter.  The Freedom is currently a bit less expensive than the Hunter, so it is probably not as fancy a bow as your Dream Catcher.  That being said, I have owned 4 Martin bows and been very happy with all of them.  

Bottom line - I am sure it is a well made bow and worth the money, but I would go shoot it first so you can see if it feels right.

I own several Martin bows and I am pleased with all of them. I have a Martin Hunter, Scorpion and the Mamba so I can not speak for the Freedom bow but I have heard decent things about them. You can never go wrong with a Martin in my opinion. I would just Google reviews for the Martin Freedom and go from there, thats if you haven't already done so.

I agree with the above...nice bows. I am a Martin/Howatt fan, pleased with them.

If nothing else, the Dream Catcher is a beautiful bow. The clear glass made it the best looking bow that Martin ever made. I have often wondered why they quit making it.

Thanks for every one's reply.
