Their warranty is 10 years on everything except strings & cables and then 50% from there on out forever. I shoot a MOAB & my daughter a Mystic. I had an idler wheel fail, they sent me a new idler wheel, axles for both ends, 2 new limbs, cable & string. Dealer changed it all out free of charge. They got on it right away; that was a year and a half ago. It has run fine ever since.

thanks bub good info. So what do you think of the bows? im lookin at one of the new Firecat 400 its small, and still pretty fast, (345FPS) and pretty decent on price also. I also like the look of the onza but the size is just a little to big for my likings.

Bows are a personal thing - I like mine. Go out and try one and see what you think of it.

try one.  it's not always the most expensive that is the best either.  i shot a matthews Z7, Bowtech Destroyer 350, and an Elite Z28 and I picked the cheapest, the Destroyer.

see i like the looks of the Firecat 400 and im trying to decide between it and the Boytech destroyer 350. I like both and both feel good in my hand but i have never been around Martin bows and do not know how they are. I have not got to shot either but they feel decent to me. I will have to see about shooting both.

Martin's have a solid reputation for a reason.  I'd consider them every bit on par with Hoyt or Mathews.  I'm even a Hoyt owner saying that...

I love mine, but as other posters have stated, a bow has to choose you, not the other way around... I choose my martin over a hoyt, not becuse of the price, but just becuse It felt better and I could shoot better with it...

I've shot nothing but Martin bows since I was 14 years old.  (in my 30's now) and I am on my 3rd Martin.
Never a single problem.  But as with most things, go to a reputable dealer and test fire the ones you like
that will make your  decision easier.
