I'm interested in getting into bowhunting and would like some advice on this manufacturer. Specifically, I've been looking at the Lithium bow.

I'm from Washington state (currently living in WI, but moving back next summer) and would like to support a small local business (Martin is in Walla Walla). I've been told that bow manufacturers today all make a great product due to advances in technology.

I understand there are the "popular" brands and the reputations that go along with them. I just want to know, would I be throwing my money away?

What do you think?

Nothing wrong with them; but I would suggest trying out as many as you can and see what works for you. A large part of choosing a bow is personal preference.
