Martin Archery Keeps You On Target Always

By Bart Icles

Martin archery was founded in 1951 by Gail and Eva Martin. It is one of the world's oldest developer and manufacturer of archery bows and accessories, and its bows are known the world over as the fastest and most accurate of bows. All Martin bows are not just archery equipment but a masterful work of art.

The most commonly favored bows used by target archers and bow hunters alike are the traditional bow and compound bow. All bows are designed to store their energy within its limbs, with handles or risers that are attached to their limbs. Longbows can be made from one individual wood and can be crafted very easily and quickly. An average bowyer can craft a longbow in a matter of ten to twenty hours at the most, while skilled bowyers are able to make one in just a matter of hours.

The longbow is a kind of bow that is much different than a recurve and flat bows, as its limbs are narrower, having a cross-section that is circular or D-shaped. It can be as tall as the archer who's using it, allowing it to be drawn fairly long at least to the point of the archer's jaw. Longbows have been used for game hunting, for war, and for competition by the world's many cultures.

On the other hand, the compound bow is a modern type of bow made out of aluminum and magnesium and is rather more rigid in design compared to other bows. It uses a leveraging system from cams, cables. The compound bow is lightweight and durable, making it an ideal archery equipment of choice for most target archers and bow hunters alike.
