Title: Martin Jaguar
Post by: aquafang on September 19, 2009, 07:05:00 PM
Anyone have any experience or input on this bow.  Martin advertises as up to 55#.  I can only find FS archery selling it up to 50#.  Can one get spare sets of lims?  who would sell them?

Martin has extra limbs. The one I tuned for a guy shot exceptionally well for a bow of this price, or any price. I put on a adustable centerest and center shot it like a compuond, it is a compound riser afterall. It shot great out to 25 yards, and was easy for a newbie trad shooter to transfer from a compuond. Holler back if I can be of  any help.

I just bought one and after basic tuning it shoots like a dream. Great bow for the buck. Mine is a 50#, but they are available in 45 and 55

I shot one and did not like it.  I seem to be in the minority with this opinion but you asked for it.  Maybe I have been spoiled by my Bear Montana longbow.  I am just saying shoot it first.

I got one (50#) and really like it. For such an inexpensive bow it shoots sweet. Can't wait to take it out this season.

I tuned a 50# for a guy, off the shelf and at 18 yards it was drilling the dot.

I was impressed for the cost. A little hand shock but not much at all.
