Martin Hunter ?'s
« on: June 30, 2011, 08:48:00 PM »
Looking to learn more about a neat little bow that I picked up.

It appears to be made by Martin.  My opinion based on the (intact) decal on the lower limb.  It does not say Martin but has the buck symbol flanked by two arrow heads.  The decal is gold with Hunter on the top and Mark II below.

Limbs are black glass back/belly with red and green over-lays.  The riser is a combination of Zebra wood and black glass on the side opposite the shelf.  The shelf side is a similar combo along with Rosewood on the lower portion.  The handle has a 1/8" black glass strip coming through the center.  Also, the shelf is very close to center.

Info. on the bow reads M274, 45#@28". 52" AMO, S.L. 48".

A very quick and QUIET bow.

Thanks in advanced to any valuable replies!

Martin Hunters were a great bow, but I did not think they were ever made in any length other than 62"?

Here are the markings on my Martin Hunter, made in '97.  As far as I know, they've only been made in 62" (but don't take my word for it)

 

It was my first bow and has been great since I learned to shoot.  It's for sale in the classifieds so I can hopefully upgrade to a custom.
