Got may bow back today after getting it restrung and having my new rest and sight put on and laser tuned. Have had this Martin bow for 10 years now when I bought it used and the bow shot even commented on how amazing it still shoots for being an older bow. Time to start shooting and get ready for deer season here in Michigan

My bow is 10 years old as well and I still absolutely love it. As long as you take good care of em they will treat you right. I know I'm missing out on all the new cool technology but my ol Bowtech shoots just as accurate as the new ones.

What kind of Martin is it?
its an M-1 Tiger. got it at a garage sale for cheep when I was 16 just to shoot around with and have finally decided in the last two years to bow hunt with it. but definately needed the new string and sight and rest. I just got a nice whisker bisket and 5 pin sight the other rest made to much noise when pulling back and the single pin sight made it harder to aim so needed the upgrade so I had yardages to go off of.

Them older Martins will shoot. At that point in time they were well ahead of other manufacturers. Folks were stuck on the looks of those Oneida SEs. I still have my first Martin, but the date on that pic was the last time I've shot it.

Well it looks like its in great shape. I never thought of doing tournaments. Seems like it might be fun

I shot for Martin bows for a long time. They have always made a great product. It is to bad they haven't stayed in touch with the competition over the yeas.
