I just traded into one a few weeks ago.  Sanded it down and put a new coat of paint and 5-6 coats of clear.  Shoots like crazy!  I have some new arrows coming.  Might have to change my intended set up.

I had one for a long time then had to drop down in weight. Great bow ,tough as nails.....as far as kills....I never kill anything.....lol! I just take the bows for a walk and get to have coffee in the woods.

You won't be sorry having a Martin Hunter.  It's a toss up between the Hunter and my Red Wing Hunter as to which bow I prefer.  Both are great, but the extra length of the Martin makes it a tad bit smoother.  They shoot very quietly and have good speed.  Great bows for the money!

I remember way back before shafer was fast flight we had a B-50 martin hunter and a B-50 shafer silver tip Both the same exact weight (by scale) at the same length of draw and the martin hunter was faster..  the shafer had the better grip and was prettier all day long but the martin was around 2 Fps faster if my memory is right..  

no beef with the silver tip but props to the martin for holding its own..

RC , I used one on and off for years . Threw a heavy arrow really really well and was just a great point and shoot bow .
It is still my fave recurve and I am keeping an eye out for one in less poundage .

Charlie that middle picture was very nicely done the way it was captured.

That was my first traditional bow.  Killed 10 with it before switching to the predator.  It's my bowfishing rig now.
