Martin Vision Longbow
« on: July 25, 2012, 06:32:00 AM »
I found a Martin Vision Longbow for sale. The price seems fair. Does anyone here have experience with one? Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks,
Jon

Those are a great bow. I wish I could  havae gotten one in left hand.Several friends have them. I think you will be happy with it unless you are a fan of more traditional styles.

Great bows......

I have had one for awhile and it is a very nice bow. It is certainly what I would consider in the high performance category. I also like the recurve style riser as it has enoungh mass and space to add AMO inserts for quivers or sights. It is the best modern longbow they made in my opinion, a shame they stopped producing them.

I Have one right now.  I took two doe with it last year.  It is a very quite and smooth shooter.  The bow is 66" 50# @ 28".  I figure I am pulling around 53lbs at my 29 inch draw.  
  I love this bow and would definitely recommend it to anybody.  It takes the abuse I give it.  I got mine for 200 two years ago.

Thanks for all the input guys. I tried searching for info on the Martin Vision, but couldnt find much. "Vision" is a pretty popular word in the archery world..

A Vision was my first longbow. Nothing wrong with it at all. Just move on to others but I wouldn't mind shooting one even now.
