I have just bought one as trier for all the interested bowhunters in my area and for my wife and daughter when they get time to shoot.

Very good bow, I don't think you would go wrong with this one.

I just sold my 70LB Jag with Magnum limbs and Dyna Cam. It is a great little bow for the money. The only reason I sold it is because I bought the 80lb Sabre with Dyna Cam. Lots of people in the clubs we shoot at have the Jags and absolutely love them. My only sugestion is go with the Dyna Cam, IMO it is the best one out there for the Jag.
Warlocke have you checked out the Martin Tigress for the wife and daughter? My wife has one in purple with the tru arc cams and is in love with it totally. Hers is 30-50lb draw weight adjustable and she is slowly working her way to the 50lb mark.

i shoot one and love it. it shoots fast, flat and hits hard.

My mate has one and i know a couple people that have had them. They are a gr8 bow which would take down nearly all game with. They seem good to shoot and very accurate if set up propertly. i dont think you will be dissapointed.

Bill,

The Martin is rated between 50 - 70#, but I have wound it out to 45#.

Pretty safe with the limb bolts out this far as you can see where the threads are in the hollow securing nut.

This bow will suit a lot of people that is why I bought it.

Only thing I don't like with the Fuzion cam, that's on my bow, is the need for a bow press to change modules.

Im sorry I did NOT mean to imply it wasnt safe at all. I was just wondering if you had tried the bow as Martin designed it just for women, and I thought only your wife and daughter shot it.
I didnt realize other people were trying it out.
And I agree it is much easier changing draw lengths with my Dyna Cam as I have no need for a press.
Again Iam sorry I was misunderstood.
Bill

[Warlocke]

No need to apologise, Bill.

No misunderstanding what so ever.

If I enter a thread with something that may be questionable, I will explain myself.

Wouldn't like some noob screwing out their limb bolts too far and injuring themselves.

I may have addressed the reply to you but others watch as well.

What do you think of the Sabre, can you do a quick review. Had a look at one down here in Brisbane and was pretty impressed.

Sorry to highjack your post Arbee :lol:

Spider,
I think its one of the sweetest bows I have ever shot (and I have owned many bows). I have the dyna cam, Im drawing 25 1\2" @78lbs and its still very fast and hits very hard. (Well hits targets hard anyway I havent had a chance to hunt with it yet)
Its very light even with the 10 arrow quiver fully stocked and all the bells and whistles it has. Had a bit of a shock problem at first but I have it sorted with a little fine tuning some silicone and 13mm nuts and 4- .45 calibre bullets 8). Hope this helped you.

[arbee]

whats with the 45 calibre bullets? :?

[Spider]

Thanks for the info Bill. Did you use that gear instead of limb savers??

Got that bad you had to shoot it, eh Bill :wink:

[XTfreak]

The are 2-.45 cal bullets in each of the VEM's because there was a bit of shock even after fine tuning the bow and this cut it right out. The silicone and nuts are in the top of the quiver to stop the vibration noise. We rolled the nuts in the silicone to form a ball then placed them in the top of my quiver and put the tops on. The tops from film canisters fit perfectly.
