Anyone been shooting the new Martin bows? Looking at them for my next purchase. Seem to be good price, wondering about how they hold up and how they shoot?

I've got the 2011 Firecat 400. As Passthru pointed out...it's blazing fast, but loud. I've added nothing at all in an effort to make it quieter. I'm quite certain that if I took a few $$ to the local archery store, they could hush it up a bit, but I just haven't done so. After hearing everyone else's this past weekend, I'm compelled to do so.
I'm real happy with the bow. Draws fine, the valley is deep enough, the back wall is solid, and I am convinced the Torque Reducing Guard does help eliminate cam lean and lead to better accuracy.
I've heard that the Onza is deader in the hand. Haven't shot one, though.

i had a martin bengel dual cam some years ago.
really liked the bow.
went back for a martin but the diamond shot so much better, smoother and quieter.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

i had a martin for a while and i will say it was the most accurate bow ive ever shot. wasnt the smoothest or quietest but you could really drive tacks with it.
