Just for perspective I own Mathews compound bow and several Damon Howatt recurve bows. Fine bows all. The Jaguar is a great value and shoots smooth and fast. It is a little heavy at over 3 lbs with stuff on it. The shelf on the Jag is big. I installed a whisker biscuit and it works great. Maintaining a constant secure arrow position when fired. When the Jag Elite came out I just had to have one. Much improved and a fine bow. Stories about limbs delaminating some years ago is a thing of the past. This bow is lighter, has a radiused shelf promoting a much more natural shooting position off the self. Checking draw weight for different limbs proved the be right on. The Elite is supposed to accept ILF limbs but I haven't seen articles on that or had any personal experience with that. Value: Can't be beat. Hoyt bows cost hundreds more and for my needs (hunting and target) I can't see the attraction. Hoyt makes a fine bow. But I think for the everyday archer you just can't feel that much difference. The Elite is a great bow and for the price with the Martin name behind it, it's a no brainer.Read full review

After shooting over 300 arrows with this bow, it is super. Easy to assemble. NOTE: The stringer I received didnt match the instructions, one end goes on the limb, not the both tips like shown in diagram. Just do a little research to see how the stringer works, works great once I knew how to use it. I replaced the arrow rest with a whisker bisket, but the plastic arrow rest worked ok all the same. I also put on a modern sight and use release with this bow, and it shoots and performs superbly. I would recommend this bow, and for the price you cant beat it.

The new martin jaguar elite, is more refined. Silent with Smooth and even draw, but on release all that power just surges through the arrow. Fast and even the power has the arrows flat and quick, with no shock through the hand. One of the cleanest transitions from arrow at full draw to arrow down range. As a recreational archer this bow is making me better than I am, and it just looks good to boot. Try it and enjoy it, I do. Great job Martin, great bow at a great price.

I bought the 55# Jaguar and it shoots exceptionally well. I did some research and found some ways to quiet it down because it is quite loud when bare (Limb saver pads and a set of Beaver Balls). There were some complaints about the bow that had me concerned before purchase but found most of them to either be user error or just ignorance. (the arrow rest is exceptional) just appears to be cheap. if used correctly it gives great results. Do your research and shop around I payed 139$ and I'm very happy with the quality of this bow! Can't wait to get some brown down this fall!

I haven't use my 55 lbs bow yet, but I am using my 40 lbs and I love it. The 55 lbs is the same. I just need to work more on my strenght to be able to use it. I believe that this is a very good bow for a very good price, that is why I have two bows now. The one thing that some people may not like is that it is not really made to be (according to me) taken apart and put back up all the time. But on the other hand the limbs are not dependent on the string pressure to keep them in place and not to fall from the raiser, but in fact they are very well secured and make the bow more quiet, which is a good thing. I just release the string from the bow and keep the bow in soft case muddybuck gear. This works well for me.
