The Martin Cheetah Super Mag is a smartly designed hunting bow that offers some big expectations.  When our team first demoed this bow, we couldn't believe how much bow this was for such an entry-level price.  Quiet, shock-free, and screaming fast too, the Cheetah can easily hold it's own with the best bows on the market.  And since smart bowhunters know how to recognize a good value, we weren't surprised that the Cheetah was overwhelmingly popular throughout 2007.

But we were stunned to learn that Martin had made the Cheetah EVEN BETTER for 2008.  The 2008 Cheetah Super Mag is even FASTER.....reaching speeds up to 320 fps.  As if this wasn't enough, Martin also added a draw stop peg to the Cheetah's M-Pro Cam System, added a Teflon™ Cable Slide, and slimmed the grip profile for better comfort and less torque.  WOW!  After getting our first look at the new Cheetah, we ordered 350 units on the spot - because we believe the Cheetah is likely to dominate this price class in 2008.  It's that good.

And Martin didn't skimp on the features either!  Check out the Cheetah's parallel limb design, its compression laminated CoreFlex™ limbs, and it's new Realtree APG camo finish.  This bow is the real McCoy!  No shortcuts... anywhere.  Speed bearings, Double Helix Strings, Integrated Vibration Modules, the works!  This bow would still be a bargain at twice the price.  So to other bows in the Cheetah's price range.  We apologize.  The Cheetah is back!


Of course, we've loaded up this hot-performer up with everything you'll need to start shooting right away:  rest, sight, arrows, stabilizer, broadheads, case, wrist sling, mechanical release and MUCH MORE.  Best of all, this setup comes COMPLETELY TUNED AND READY-TO-SHOOT the moment you unpack it from the case.  Our pro-shop does all the work.  All you do is finish setting your pins to the distances you prefer, and you're ready for the field.   That's the Ready-to-Hunt™ difference.

NOTES FROM THE SHOP:

Several of our shooters noted that this bow's draw weight "felt lighter" than it actually was.  In fact, our sample unit was set for 69.3 lbs peak weight, and most of our staff thought they were shooting a 60 lb. bow.  That's how smooth this cam is.  In fact, the drawstroke on the new Cheetah felt so smooth - we got curious about what kind of force draw curve the bow would pull.  So using our Easton Bow Force Mapping System, we tested our sample bow to check the curve for flat-spots.  As you can see, this M-Pro cam system generates the perfect bell-curve.  No heavy lobe-over, no high-plateau, no abrupt changes.  We also verified the let-off, and we were delighted to discover that the cam system REALLY generates effective let-off of 80.23% (13.7 lbs./69.3 lbs.) and actual let-off of 74.17% (17.9 lbs./69.3 lbs.) with less than 4 lbs of system hysteresis.  This cam system is second to none.  View raw graph.

Bow Package Details:  Accessories Included
 


ARROW REST (CHOICE #1)  Most Popular
Hostage Rest

Never worry about an arrow falling from the rest again.  The Hostage rest captures the arrow like other popular rests, but doesn't damage fletching or slow down your arrows.  Triple brush block design ensures perfect arrow alignment and easy loading.  A very quiet and rugged design.  *Best used with straight or offset vanes. 

See below for additional arrow rest options/choices available with this package.
ARROW REST (CHOICE #2)
QAD Ultra Rest Hunter

Unlike other rests that drop-away because of inertia or vibration, the ULTRA REST relies on the velocity of the Rest moving forward to initiate the launcher to drop. VDT assures the ULTRA-REST remains in the cocked position even on a slow let down and will only drop-away if the bow is fired. VDT is a durable and reliable firing mechanism which is sure to change the way you look at drop away rests.

YOUR BOW SIGHT
TruGlo Xtreme 5-Pin

ULTRA-BRITE!  This high-strength 5-pin fiber-optic sight is constructed from all machined aluminum and features ultra-bright fiber-wrap technology.  Sight includes glow in the dark aiming ring, bubble level, and graduated windage and elevation scales.  A fantastic hunting or competition 3D sight.  Very rugged and easy to see.  Sight accepts optional screw-in lighting devices.

 
YOUR CASE
Flambeau Safe Shot Hard Case


Sturdy, molded construction from Flambeau.  Secure 4-latch closure. Hood & loop fastening straps. Incorporated structural pillars for added durability, and features built-in broadhead wrench.  Good looking and rugged with plenty of room for all your other gear.  Airline approved. 
 

YOUR QUIVER
Alpine Bear Claw Quiver


The Bearclaw holds up to 5 arrows tight - and accepts fixed or mechanical broadheads.  Soft-Loc mounting technology ensures this quiver is QUIET.  Detaches in a snap and can be adjusted for any height.  Comes in Realtree camo finish.  Quiver accommodates any size and style of broadhead.



 
YOUR ARROWS
6 Custom Carbon Arrows

Half-dozen custom carbon arrows (.006" or better straightness).  Durable, lightweight shafts fly 20% faster than comparable aluminum arrows.  Provides excellent penetration and knock-down power.  Fletched with vanes or feathers.  All arrows come with practice tips installed (matched to the grain weight of your broadheads - of course).

 

YOUR STABILIZER
Trophy Ridge ShockStop
 
NEW MODEL

Formerly the L.O.R.E.  Some stabilizers out there are good at reducing vibration. Others are good at improving balance and stability. ShockStop™ stabilizers are GREAT at both. When you're at full-draw waiting for your trophy to stop in that perfect spot, rest assured that this stabilizer will give you the balance you need to remain steady. And after you let your arrow fly, have no doubt that remaining vibration from your bow will be eliminated.

 
YOUR BROADHEADS
3-PK Cobalt X3's

These remarkable heads by the American Broadhead Company are designed specifically for archers who demand extreme penetration and silence, but prefer a larger cut diameter broadhead.  One of the best penetrating broadheads you'll ever shoot.  And in your well-tuned Ready-to-Hunt bow, these heads will fly true and accurate every time.  100 and 125 grain weights available.  75 grain also available in alternate style (Rocket Vector 2) with this package.


 

YOUR RELEASE
Tru-Fire Patriot Caliper


The reliable Patriot features aluminum construction dual jaw head, and the head rotates 360°. Padded black nylon Power Strap, much easier to put on then any V-style strap.  Fits both left and right hands. Will not damage bowstring.
YOUR PEEP SIGHT
R.A.D. Trio String Peep


No noisy rubber tube. The Trio Peep is always aligned properly at full draw and has only a minimal effect on your arrow velocity. Lightweight and easy to use.  Available in 1/8" and 3/16" hole sizes.  Installed 13.5 cm above bow's nocking point by default, but user adjustable if higher or lower orientation is desired.
 

YOUR WRIST SLING
Neet Braided w/Leather

This quality braided sling helps to promote proper open-handed shooting form. Material will not soak up human scent. Rugged rope design with leather strap mount.  Fully adjustable for any size hand or to accommodate bulky clothing.  Camouflage rope design. 
YOUR SILENCERS
Bowjax SlipJax

The future of string silencer design is finally here. The Slipjax string silencers are made to slip in the string for maximum dampening ability. Additionally, Slipjax string silencers are some of the toughest string dampeners ever made. From bows that are below the 300 fps mark to those that are over 300 fps, these string silencers will last.  Set of 2 installed on this bow package.

 

YOUR DAMPENERS
Bowjax Monster Jax

Monster Jax limb dampeners are built to be the longest lasting and most effective available.   Monster Jax
soak up vibration and noise and will help to make your new Cheetah Super Mag one of the smoothest and quietest bows you've ever shot.
YOUR PRACTICE TIPS
6 - 5/16" Combo Points


Perfectly matched to the diameter of your arrows. Combo screw-in practice points are included and already installed on the arrows included with your Cheetah System. Tough combo style tip causes less target damage and allows for easy removal from 3D targets. Precision machined and weight accurate to +/- 1 grain.  Removes quickly for broadhead installation.  Style may vary.
 

Bow Package Details:  Services Performed

SETUP
Every 2008 Martin Cheetah Super Mag Bowhunting S
ystem is hand-assembled at our Pro-Shop by a qualified archery professional.  Every detail is attended to.  The peep sight is served in place, the nock or loop set is installed, the draw length and weight is set to your specifications, all hardware is carefully installed and properly adjusted, and your arrows are custom built to suit your particular bow and settings.  The string gets waxed, axles lubricated, and the bow is given a thorough inspection - top to bottom - for any flaws in manufacturing.

PAPER TESTING/TUNING
We actually test-shoot each bow.  Every bow is paper tested by our staff shooters, to ensure that your arrows will fly like a laser beam when launched from your new 2008 Martin Cheetah Super Mag Bowhunting
System.  Adjustments are made as necessary until each arrow tears a clean "bullet-hole", indicating perfectly level and straight arrow flight for the best possible accuracy.  We resolve any and all fletching clearance problems and align each arrow nock for a clean zero-contact launch.

RANGE TESTING
Each bow is tested at distance to ensure that arrows will group tightly.  3-Arrow groups are shot at 15, 25, & 35 yards and measured by our staff shooters.  We use the 25/2 rule.  If our staff shooters aren't grouping 3 arrows into a 2" circle at 25 yards with your new 2008 Martin Cheetah Super Mag Bowhunting
System, then we retune until the 25/2 rule is met.  While variances in individual shooting form makes exact sighting-in impossible, we test shoot each bow and rough-set your top sight pin for a 20 yard shot.  This gets your sight-pins in the "ball-park" so you won't have to start from scratch - possibly sending an arrow into an unforgiving neighbor's yard.  When you receive your new bow system, you will just need to make fine adjustments to the top pin, then finish-up by setting the remaining pins for the distances you prefer.  And if you're new to the sport, or not so handy with tools and gadgetry......don't worry.  You'll also receive a copy of our booklet Getting Started with Your Compound Bow which offers detailed instructions on the sighting-in procedure as well as helpful maintenance and safety tips.

CHRONOGRAPH TESTING
We know that speed isn't everything, but it is a serious consideration.  2008 Martin Cheetah Super Mag Bowhunting
Systems shoot hard and flat, with excellent kinetic energy (knock-down power).  Depending upon the bow's settings, your 2008 Martin Cheetah Super Mag Bowhunting System will likely shoot a measured 265-311 fps once setup with a "loaded" string.  We chronograph each bow to ensure that the actual arrow velocity is within the expected range.  You will receive a System Statistics report with your new 2008 Martin Cheetah Super Mag Bowhunting System.  This report will precisely detail the exact velocity of your arrows, grain weight and length of the arrows, recommended tip weights, the exact bow settings, and dozens of other specs related to your bow system.  Keep this sheet for your reference.  If you ever need additional arrows or want to make changes and adjustments on your bow, you'll have the original data to refer back to.

PACKAGING AND SHIPPING  (excluding AK and HI)
Each fully assembled
2008 Martin Cheetah Super Mag Bowhunting System is delivered - packed tightly in the hardshell bowcase.  The bow and the arrows are firmly strapped into place and the loose parts, like the release, are all safely tucked inside too.  Once full, the bowcase is then returned to it's original box and resealed.  Your bow system is then shipped, via FedEx Ground, to your home or business within 1-5 working days.  A tracking number will be provided to you, so you'll know when to expect delivery.

FAQ's:

Q:  Do I Need to Choose the Weight of My Practice-Tips and Broadheads?
A:  If you already have your heart set on a particular grain weight, we will gladly follow your request.  Please select 75, 100, or 125 gr heads when you order your system.  However, the choice of tip weight may be an option best left "open".  Tip weight is a variable in determining an arrow's dynamic spine (how much it flexes when shot).  A heavier tip makes an arrow act more limber; a lighter tip makes an arrow act more stiff.  We test shoot each bow system to ensure we're getting the best possible arrow flight, and we often use tip weight as a tool to help "tweak" dynamic arrow spine.  Leaving this option "open" allows our pro-shop to achieve the best possible spine, weight, and FOC combination for your arrows.  If you would rather let the pro-shop choose your tip weights, your bow's documentation will show which grain weight was ultimately selected for you.


Q:  When will my bow package arrive?
A:  We put a considerable amount of care and labor into every Ready-to-Hunt™ bow package, as we want to make sure we get it right the FIRST time.  But we also realize you're anxious to get your order and begin shooting.  So we work hard to make sure our bow systems are built and shipped within 1-5 business days of your order.  Once completed and shipped, most systems will then be delivered via FedEx Ground within 1-5 business days (delivery time will vary by location).  However, if any delays are expected with your order, you will promptly be notified with the details via email.  Please allow 1-2 days extra time during peak season (August -Sept).  Once your bow system ships, you will receive a FedEx tracking number.  If you have any questions along the way, feel free to call us at 1-877-410-7811 or email us.
