I'm looking into getting a new bow I have shot Martin for years and have no complaints, I'm thinking of getting a Martin Salyer X with Nitro cams any feed back on this bow, I heard the Cams are hard to keep in tune?

My 2nd choice is a Mathews Switchback XT

I hunt and like to shoot 3d any thoughts

Thanks

suggestions......wait until the end of november and see what all the new ones are....nothing wrong w/Martin, or any of the companies for that matter.....but I for one am going to wait and see the latest that everyone comes out with....proabaly wait until Jan 07 then order.....

or even better... wait until 07 comes out and then buy a used bow!

I have a Scepter with Nitrous X cams and have no trouble with timing or any other tuning. It is the easiest bow to tune that I've ever worked on.

You don't even need a bow press to adjust the timing.

Of course if you use poorly made strings and cables, you will have problems with any bow.

I use strings and cables from the worst stingmaker that I know (me) and still don't have problems with this cam design.

Go for the matthews switchback xt I think you will be more satisfied. I have shot a friends switchback and i think it's awsome. It has the smoothest draw and it's very accurate.

In all fairness to the martin i have never had any problems with a martin, the also make some very nice bows. My father shot a martin for many years and had no problems with it.

Bowman also has a good point I have heard that matthews is going to come out with a new bow. It might be good to wait and see what they come out with.

Bowman also has a good point .....

please do not feed the animals........

I think you meant to say "I am in denial" but I can see how you would get confused and type exceptional instead :)

BTW - Not suggesting you leave the forum but there are a LOT of martin shooters on Archerytalk.com (its sponsored by Martin Archery). If your looking for some diehard martin fans they are on that site.

Did this thread get hijacked or what? Shame on you guys.
