Like to here from guys that shoot the martin saber or the cheater which is a little more on the fps
How do you like the new M/PRO CAMS

BGfisher

You mean Cheetah? You won't find a smoother cam than the MPro, but I prefer the Cat Cam. I can achieve similar speed to the MPro, but shooting about 8# less peak weight. Of course, there is more money involved.

That being said, the Martin line is a very good bang for the buck. About as good as you're liable to get.

I had to be 3 hours to night in the pro shop looking at the martin saber and I did purchase it seem to be a smooth drawing bow but a tad on extra bow weight compared to the parker but $200.00 cheaper I can live with that.
The pro shop set the bow up paper tuned change modular to a 28" draw set peak weight to 50 lbs and i shot the bow at 20 yards 3 shots in the bull;not bad for not picking up a bow in 10 years.
I just seem to get my timing back and get a little more steady with my bow arm but practice I will improve : I like the bow and few FPS slower then the cheeta also is $50.00 more added to the package
He did give me a good package deal better then the package that comes from the factory.
He did add true glow 5 pin sight,true glow arrow holder (5 shafts) ,martin wisker B rest,Sims limb saver shock stabilizer and wrist rope,and 1/2 doz shaft with tips 100 grain,peep sight ,string leeches
Arrows he set me up with beman 400 at 29 1/4" 8.4 gpi I seem to have to add 1 1/4" only because I anchor under my chin and use a kisser button so I get a little more on the draw
$440.00
I have to think what broad head to use I like and use the thunderheads 125 grain and had good luck with the laser pro from cabelas:I shot the thunderheads for years and have to say they shoot excellent never did plane on me
I will be looking for a 100 grain broad head

I have a 08 sabre as well. I like mine very much. Why did the pro shop set the bow at 50lbs? I have mine set at 60 and it definatly shoots better at the higher draw weight.

I ask for 50lbs for the reason I had neck surgery back in dec: 2007
I had 2 disc removed C5 threw C7
I been bow hunting from 1969 long bow Also remember my first compound bow made by (Allen)
I gave up archery in 1999
I am back now and have to start slow I think the saber is a nice bow and with the new pro cams the bow is very smooth on the draw.
I also look at the parker with the e-z cams another bow I liked but the price was a little to stiff I would of went for another $200.00 bucks
I am very pleased with the martin
