Title: Martin Hatfield History
Post by: String Cutter on March 01, 2009, 02:22:00 AM
Does anyone know the ins and outs of the Martin Hatfield T/D Recurve??? When they were first made? The changes made to them over the years??? When and what they have been made of???? I've seen the older ones that are grey... then some made out of an african wood. I think I've seen like 3 differant mounting systems for the limbs???? And where I might find an extra set of limbs???

I'm on there all the time looking under longbows and recurves in sporting goods... But I never seen any limbs by themselves??? Was really interested in the changes made to them over the years???

I was seriously considering getting a Hatfield myself.  It wasn't the price that scared me off,  it was that I couldn't find any information on new limbs!  

I wanted the 'option' of getting another set of NEW limbs, at some point,  but I don't think there is one.

I am pretty sure you can still order a new set of limbs from Martin at any archery shop that deals Martin..
