I am fairly new to archery, but I still want to share my experience with this bow. First of all, this bow feels fantastic! The draw is smooth, and there is very little vibration after a shot is made. And once you install a good arrow rest, it is quite accurate.Now for the bad: the instructions are quite vague, and in fact, there is only a rough parts diagram that is difficult to read to guide you on the bows assembly. It isn't hard to figure out, but nonetheless, I have another bow in this price range and it had clear, easy to understand instructions. The bow stringer that came with this bow seems rather cheap, at least in the sense of it's function. I discarded it and used my bow stringer that I already owned. And finally, the reason I only gave this wonderful bow only 3 stars...is the components and the company itself. The flimsy arrow rest included with the bow literally broke in half as I tried to thread it into the riser. I had to get an EZ-out to remove the broken piece in the riser. After looking closely, the threaded holes had paint in them, so I had to take a tap and chase the threads again to allow installation of a arrow rest.
Although the bows other parts do fit good, I feel they could fit better. This bow is made in the USA, and I don't think the quality of the components are quite up to snuff of what I would expect from an American made product such as this. After the included arrow rest had broke, I tried e-mailing Martin to explain to them what had happened, but their customer support e-mail is conveniently down. I tried calling several times, no one answered. I did leave my contact information on their answering machine, but no one has replied to me since then. When I tried speaking to the operator, she hastily sent me to the customer service department, where I again was greeted with the answering machine.
It's hard to say if I can recommend this bow to someone. It really does feel and shoot great, but I don't think you should have to fix problems on a $200 bow right out of the box. If you do decide to purchase this bow, make sure you already have a good bow stringer and arrow rest ready, and you may have to re-tap the threaded holes in the riser. Once you have it set up however, I think you'll be pleased with it. Oh, and don't expect support from Martin, it seems to be non-existent.
