First off let me say that this was with the old Martin archery. I had the Martin Hunter that was reddish in color. The bow began to have a twist in the bottom limb. the limb at full draw would bend improper and send the arrow very far right. The bow was marked 62" AMO. I called them and sent it back on my dime. I got the bow back 3 weeks later. They said the bow was 64" and they sent a new string. I shot it for about a week with the same results. The dealer finally gave me my money back. The owner of the store shot it and and the same happened to him. Anyone can have bad glass.Call Martin and send it back. The bow will never be right.

I doubt the limb is actually twisted.  Instead, it sounds like there was not enough care taken in the alignment process. So, straightening the limb bw twisting or heating ant twisting will not be an acceptable fix.  Definitely return it to Martin and have them align the limb properly.

Okay, I just got the bow back yesterday after being in repair. (1,5 months have passed)
The very same problem still remains. It's milder but still.
I'm starting to feel very dissapointed.

My Martin Hunter bow which I recently bought had the same issue as first described. After contacting Martin directly, the bow was shipped back and within a week determined not repairable. They did not say twisted limb or alignment, just not repairable and I did not ask. Currently they are building me a new one of the same specifications and should arrive within 3 weeks. I've had a couple conversations with 2 different fella's at Martin and both were great to deal with and I'm very satisfied at this point with Martin Archery's customer service.  My suggestion as coldwinterlake knows from PM's is to contact Martin directly like previously suggested. Great advice, thanks.
