I have a martin rebel 50@28.  i have never hunted with it just my bob lee.  Is the rebel a good bow to deer hunt with or is it more a bowfishing rig?

It's good for both.

I have a Martin X200.  46# @ 30.5".  I haven't hunted with it cause i'm not allowed to over here in Repressionland, but i certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it.  I doubt the Rebel will be any less a bow.

I'm shooting an 8 strand d97 flemish on 630gr carbons with 300gr at the front.  Incredible impact!

That Rebel with small carbon arrows in a small pop up blind is the cat's meow.  I bought my son's each one years ago when they were younger.  45# @28"   They are great in a pop up blind.
