Can I get your thoughts on the Martin Mamba?

The one I had was a solid performer, smooth and fast. Selling it was another mistake on this bumpy road in persuit of the "Perfect bow"

I had a really good Martin Mamba. Shot it for a long time. Very light in the hand. I found it an ideal length for stalking through brush. If you search it out you will find the Mamba has quite a history.

First tradional bow I bought was Mamba back in the early two thousands, she is still a work horse to this day. Very Smooth and fast! It is hard to leave her at home some days for my custom longbow.

   

This was Tuesday from 25 yards.

I think they are great bows and despite the fact that I have too many bows I'd like to own one in the 45-48# range.

Mamba is a good bow for sure.  I owned one for years.  Did everything I asked.  Solid Performer.  Quiet enough. Accurate.

Got a 80# one back around 1993, it was built solid and very fast. Unloaded it in 1997 to a friend as I found I like and shoot bows longer than 60" much better than the shorter ones, and a Mamba is 58".........

I shoot one and have no complaints. Very light in the hand and grip is comfortable for me.
