Martin Mountaineer?????

[Stephen Claypool]

Anybody have any experience on this bow? What would be a good used price on one?

I had one and liked it very much,I like Hill style type bows.It is a very mild R/D and shot great.I've seen used ones go from $150-225 depending on condition.I like Martin bows and I have a few of them.

I used to shoot a mountaineer until I had to lower my pull weight. I loved the bow and it was the one I hunted with. I can't tell you what their worth but can attest to their shooting.

I've shot two longbows in my life; so take this with a grain of salt.  Compared to my current Mohawk, my old Mountaineer was the definiton of handshock.  It could be all Hill style bows are like that, I don't know, but I hated that bow.

A friend of mine has a ML-14, I think that was the same bow.  clear glass with,I think, a Zebra wood riser.  With an endless dacron string, it was a bit harsh. with one of my flemish B50s, it was a little better.  with a fast flight, it was better yet, but it still has a good thump.  At 52 pounds at 27" it has a way of getting deer down quite regularly for him.  He prefers it to his recurve when he hunts on the ground.  It shoots as accurate as any other bow as far as I can tell.
