Got a email back from Chris Carter he just got back from the Kinsey show in PA. He is the lead for the traditional line at martin archery.He said The Stick was made in 1986 and made by chuck jones who has worked at martin for over 43 years.Man that's cool for being 28 years old and still looks and shoot like new.Thanks Chuck P.S. hey Chuck a funny note my grandfather and dads names are Charles Jones and went by Chuck. Maybe that's why this bow shoots so sweet luck of the Irish thanks again.
