Title: Warfing a Martin warthog?
Post by: huntnut on June 29, 2007, 10:16:00 AM

I for a Martin warthog with a beautiful wood riser, I was thinking of makeing it into a recurve. Has anyone done this on this type of bow? Sould I make limbs or buy a set that would work on it?

I'm not positive, but I think some of the early Hatfield take downs shared a riser with the Warthog.  So it may be possible to Warf.

I had one for a long time, nice old bow, nice pretty riser.

I would be interested also . I have a old warthog with a busted limb.

At one time, Martin made recurve limbs for the Warthog riser. I shot my first bear with the recurve limbs, and the second bear with the compound limbs on the same hunt. The base of the recurve limbs had a large wedge to get the proper angle. They really stacked, 65# @ 28" and about 70# @ 29"!!
