Title: Martin Mamba Owners
Post by: bmfer on February 16, 2008, 06:50:00 PM
As some of you may know I've been planning to buy a new bow around around tax time. I've been asking questions about different bows for a while so here it goes: those of you who own or have shot a Mamba- what are your impressions? Quality, speed, handshock? Thank you for replies.

bmfer, I bought a Mamba for my son a year ago and I'v got to say I love it. Quality is great, it's very quick, and very quiet. No hand shock. I'm sure you'd be very happy with it.

I owned one and for the money you can't beat it. Killed four deer in ME. with that bow. My poor old dad was watching me field dress a buck I had just shot with it and put his ATV in reverse to head home and  broke the bow right at the rise. You'll like it and as stated by Harmless, no hand shock...

Buy one, they are good bows. Post an add for a used one if you want to save some money. Mine has thousands of arrows through it. You can't hardly hurt them, unless you run over it with an ATV.

Should I mention that the only other trad bow I have is a 62" Martin Savannah. The Mamba is 58", I've been wanting to try a shorter bow for the treestand or maybe a blind, will this cause problems or will it just take some getting used to?

As far as I'm concerned, I'd hunt either one anywhere. The only time I've seen any issues with a blind, is maybe a 68 or longer.

You can't go wrong with a Mamba. Fast, smooth and quiet. I think the smoothest bow Martin makes. My opinion of course.
