Title: Martin T/D broken limb...
Post by: Paul/KS on July 12, 2010, 07:19:00 AM
My friend has a metal riser Martin T/D with a broken limb. (Seems the last owner had a bit of a mishap while stringing it...)  :(  
The riser has a lazer etced piece of wood depicting a lynx but that is all thats on the riser. It's a target style bow and has ball bearings under the limbs, two each.
Looking for info and a pair of replacement limbs for it.The limbs are marked 55# C28"  9391 AMO 62".
Thanks...

That bow is called the Lynx, for obvious reasons. Martin also made a compound on that riser. Best you can do for limbs is to check the classifieds here and elsewhere, and hope something turns up.

Mike at Mad Dog may be able to make you a set.

Good luck!

Email Larry Hatfield at Martin/Damon Howatt.
I recently asked him if they still have recurve limbs for my Firecat and they found one in their warehouse.

Thanks for the info...I'll let him know about the classifieds.
Didn't know Mike could make some limbs.That might be an option too...

I managed to get ahold of a guy at Martin but all he told me was "It's a Lynx and we havn't made them in 15 years."

ILF means International Limb Fittings. They use them on Olympic competition bows.
