An Introduction To Martin Archery

By Denzel Bowman

Having been involved in the archery making business since 1951, (where the business was started with nothing much more than a few tools and a kitchen table), Martin Archery is synonymous with the sport.

With over twenty five patents in their name, it is clear Martin Archery are flying in the right direction as straight as an arrow launched from their bows. Whether it is a traditional bow, the latest compound, something for the kids, or a competition piece specifically made, the quality is the only constant.

For the traditional bows, attention is still giving to the handmade techniques that were seen around the kitchen table; and it shows, with each bow unique and demonstrating its own characteristics.

It is with their work on compound bows that they have really excelled however. They have not only contributed to its development, but have set the standard by which all such bows are judged; on strength, reliability and speed of arrow launch.

Other steps forward have seen the introduction of adjustable risers which can improve the accuracy through the flight of the arrow beyond anything that has been seen before, Teflon plated cable guards, and double-helix bow strings also add to the accuracy and strength in competition.

The Martin Archery compound bow is available in two standards; Pro, for the real dedicated and Gold, for those working on their skills, but needing value for money.

There are many bows in each range, catering for different skills and techniques. Amongst these the MOAB Pro Hunter is a wonderfully evocative design, whilst also being the quietest of its type. For those requiring the ultimate control, the Warthog manages accuracy and speed in equal measure.

In the Gold series of bows, Martin Archery provides a wide choice. Highlights here would have to be the Bengal and the Cheetah, whilst the Leopard is ideal for younger enthusiasts that may be lacking in upper body strength. All deliver the arrow exceptionally well, with speeds you would expect from such craftsmanship.

Development continues, and they are not ones to rest on their Laurels. In nearly sixty years they have garnered exceptional knowledge and experience, which can be seen in every bow made. As the sport of archery grows in popularity, it is good to know that Martin Archery are here to provide this expertise.
