New to Bow Hunting

[Oleruss32]

New to bow hunting and thinking of purchasing Martin Cheetah. Any thoughts on the bow pros and cons?

Thanks

Whatever it takes to get started but there are some very good used bows out there that are rigged out and ready. Not that there's anything wrong with the cheetah but I think you can find a top of the line bow that may be a couple years old like hoyt or mathews that is priced to sell. Look around and go visit your local archery shop and talk to the fella's down there and ask them what they think. Most importantly welcome to bowhunting and welcome to TBH.

Like you im new as well... and this july i bought a 09 cheetah.... I love it and practice everyday and can hit pie size plate at 20 yards every time... this saturday will be my first hunt with it besides the squirrel that was buring a pecan in my backyard at 17 yards... lifetime guarantee cant go wrong with that

its a very good and affordable bow, its also very quiet, martins service and warranty are second to none,,, you will like it and probably still be shooting it years from now , great choice

for what its worth, if youll practice that bow can give you pie plate size results at a hundred yards,,, your selling yourself and the bow short.. shoot smaller targets at longer distances...youll be happy you did!!!

Have you shot it? Have you shot any others? There's nothing wrong with a Cheetah, (that I'm aware of), but I would always recommend going to your local bow shops, shooting as many different setups as you can and then deciding which ones really feels best to you. Then start considering things like budget, warranty, new vs. used, speed, reviews, how long you plan on keeping it, parts availability, etc. Bottom line: If it feels good, you'll probably shoot more often and consistently have better groups. Hope that helps.
