We'll I have done it again and "SOLD all my bows I hunted with the fall and bought a new one to add to the 07 Martin Cheetha! I got the 08 MOAB with the Integraded STS Factory like the Firecat. The only differance between the MOAB and Firecat besides the IBO Speeds is the Cams.The Moab is a Singile cam bow! Here is the link to Martins Website and a pic of the bow! Let me know what you guys think! I should have it by Xmas or the 1st of the yr! Need to make a few payments after my Intial Deposit! Right Around $500 too my door with the STS and Shipping!

I think Martin is putting some amazing features on their bows this year for their asking price. It is going to be a good year for them!

I would choose the MOAB over the Firecat personally. I think it is more of a hunter's bow; but I am somewhat partial to single cams. That appears to be the M-Pro cam, but I am not a Martin expert.

Is the cost about the same as the Firecat? I would assume it is a little bit cheaper, but maybe not with adding the STS.

Let us know what you think of it after you get it with all the goodies on it!

Yeah ! BT my favorite Bow Technicion said the same thing(Royden) ;D . But this wonderfull this about all of our passion is trying new things and finding that One SWEET Bow or Set up. I just mailed the DP of $300 today and will make (2) $100 Installment Payments and should have the bow by Xmas to be under the Tree!

so....what happened this season?

[elk4me]

Lost a nice 3x4 WT Deer after a littile far back( Steep Uphill Shot) shot! Kinda a rough Archery season. Hunted hards with Royden for one weekend and put on 20+ Mi in a weekend chasing Elk, didint see a 1. I can still hunt till 11/25 with the rifile , but kinda got burnt out. Alot of hard hunting , with minimial results. But I did tag out in Rifile saseon on a Sm WT Buck and a very nice WT Doe. She was bigger than last yr but was taken with the .270 so I didint post a pic for the contest . But she was like 120+ LBs Prob. if taken with a bow would of won ths yr! ;D

Yep! Bt I am not into hunting for the P&Y Tropheys. I am in AArchery for the pure enjoyment and relaxation I get from Archery! I could care less about Tropheys. I feel any animial taken is a blessing and one of great acomplishment!
