Stock string
|

I had no intention of buying this or any other Martin...until I shot it.
Great feel. A little heavy coming from smaller ATA bows, but not realtive to the 41" ATA. If anything the weight is perfectly balanced to hold dead on steady and keep holding.
I have the fury cams and straight limbs @ 55-70 and set @ a measured 60# even and shoot a 375gr arrow @ 284...10# to go to hit anywhere near the IBO specs of 350grains and 70#.
Even with the speed a 7" brace and 41" ATA really puts this thing on the mark.
Only dowside I've found is the stock string seems a little heavier than any others I've seen....which can be a pro or a con depending on how you look at it.
I'm sure it would be faster still with a lighter string which would benefit the 3d/indoor competitors, but it's incredibly quiet now and if you hunt the stock string is a bonus.
I bought the bow to cover indoor and 3d but would feel confident taking it hunting in situations where you need a little extra distance like the western states or that corner of the cut corn field so long as you have a little room to move.
It's not the ideal treestand bow unless your 6'4" plus, but would cover the bases as a "shorter" bow for the finger shooters I think.
All in all a fine machine from a fine and well reputed company that gets lost in the hype of many others sometimes.
