Martin Chameleon Carbon Review

The Bottom Line:Continuing their market-leading use of carbon in price-point compound models, Martin Archery has hit the jackpot with their redesigned ultra-light, adjustable platform, beginning with the Stratos and evolving into the Chameleon. Other than the somewhat sluggish IBO, there is no feature of this bow that... read full review

Martin Hellfire 35 Review

The Bottom Line:Martin went out of their way to create what archers wanted with the Phenix series- specifically the flagship Hellfire 35.

Martin Firecat Review

The Bottom Line:The Martin Firecat Pro-X is the flagship bow of the 2008 Martin line. While the Firecat's cam system is rather aggressive, many archers believe that the draw cycle is relatively smooth for the blazing speeds this bow generates. A lot of shooters strongly agree in that this bow is a great value for money.... read full review

Martin Stratos CR Review

The Bottom Line:From hardships to new beginnings, Martin Archery has persevered a great amount to be in the position they are now- creating quality, innovative bows for the market. It is especially noticeable with the Stratos CR, being one of, if not the first versatile compound with a carbon riser. Although there are... read full review

Martin Krypton Review

The Bottom Line:The Martin Krypton is new in 2015 and is marketed as a beginner bow. With a 31" ATA, 7" brace height, 17" - 30" draw length, and 40# - 70# draw weight range, this rig offers a lot to the new archer. Although this rig has a 315 fps IBO, the bow will be hard pressed to reach that, but does have a very... read full review

Martin Alien Nitro Review

The Bottom Line:The Martin Alien Nitro is one of the quietest bows out of the box on the market today. For a rig the offers 335 fps, this is quite a feat. This bow was designed specifically with the hunter in mind and will easily fit into any archery scenario. The bow can be purchased with 50#, 60#, or 70# peak weight... read full review

Martin Eclipse Review

The Bottom Line:Martin came out with the Eclipse in 2012, bringing a new platform that would fit the beginning archer, as well as the seasoned veteran. This new rig provided the shooter with draw length adjustments from 25" - 31" and a draw weight range from 35# - 70# without the need to replace the limbs or the cam.... read full review

Martin Blade X4 Review

The Bottom Line:Martin Archery has definitely created a solid performer as an around great shooting and easy to use bow. Even though it is not the fastest and quietest bow in the bunch-for the price, it is one of the most feature-inclusive and adjustable bows produced this year. For those prospective individuals looking... read full review

Martin Nemesis 35 Review

The Bottom Line:The Martin Nemesis 35 is the flagship bow for the 2013 lineup. It was designed for the archer that prefers a longer ATA, and this bow fits the bill with a 35" ATA. The elongated riser, the X4 Twin Limbs, and the Nitro 3 Hybrid cams and the 7" brace height provide a solid platform with plenty of power... read full review

Martin Alien Review

The Bottom Line:The Martin Alien M40 is a new release for 2013 from the Rytera brand. Martin made the business decision to focus more on overall quality instead of offering two separate brands. Although the Alien was a good selling bow for Rytera, there were known problems such as splitting and peeling limbs which detracted... read full review

Martin Onza 3 Review

The Bottom Line:For people looking for a do everything well bow; don't overlook the Onza 3. An IBO speed rating 330-340 makes this bow a real rocket ship, if you can get it there. Not to mention the 7.25" brace height which turns this into a stable tack driver. This bow performs like a target bow but a reasonably short... read full review

Martin Pantera Review

The Bottom Line:All in all the Pantera Magnum is a pretty impressive package. Its user friendly specs and easy to make adjustments will appeal to shooters and dealers alike. Though primarily designed as a longer axle to axle hunting bow, it should perform equally well on a 3D course or on an NFAA face. Keen new features... read full review

Martin Exile Review

The Bottom Line:The Martin Exile is a great bow to bring somebody into archery with, very forgiving, fast and smooth drawing; what a better way to introduce somebody to the sport. It seems as if Martin built this bow specifically for a hunter that needs a bow to get them wherever they might need to go; figuring in the... read full review

Martin Leopard Review

The Bottom Line:The Martin Leopard has been specifically designed to fit small-to-mid size archers. With an easily adjustable and smooth eccentric system, this is not the quickest bow out there. At just 3.6 lbs and measuring 30 inches from axle to axle, this lightweight and compact bow offers shorter draw lengths, and,... read full review

Martin Tiger Review

The Bottom Line:The Martin Tiger is a very affordable youth bow suitable for small kids. This bow has been manufactured for more than a decade now and has 2 different styles: the original Martin Tiger (Mini Z cam) built until 2007 and the newer Martin Tiger (T-Pro Cam) manufactured from 2008. While both bows suitable... read full review

Martin Firehawk Review

The Bottom Line:With the draw weight range of the FIrehawk being 35-70 pounds this bow can be compatible with a wide range of archers. Its short axle to axle length make it a shoe in for tree stand hunting and having many characteristics that make this bow very shootable are good reasons to give this rig a second look.... read full review

Martin Moab Review

The Bottom Line:Overall this would make a great rig for the bow hunter or the recreational archer. Super smooth draw, great shootability and good quickness are all things that make the Moab a viable option for a broad range of archers to look at. With things like a wide draw weight and length range it will catch the... read full review
