These are a 90's model longbows and I've never shot nor seen one. I've been offered a trade but can't find any info online. Have any of you guys shot one? Did you like it? Love it? Hate it? And now for the real question what would they be worth retail in today's market? Excellent condition, rt. handed, 64" 50# @ 28". Thanks in advance.

Search 'shadow' then scroll down to 17 Aug 18.

See WillMac's and Larry Hatfield's comments on 11 Jan 19.

TRADITIONAL & VINTAGE ARCHERY has Martin catalogs through 1977 in their library.

Here is page 19 from the 1997 Martin catalog.

Its probably a fancier version of the 64" ML 14 Bushmaster. I couldn't get $200 for my Bushmaster, when I tried to sell it a couple of years back.

Correction, the Bushmaster was ML-18, also from the 90's.

Mike, I found this LW thread that is not that old and it may shed some light on what they are currently valued at. It's the only Leatherwall or other trad website that I can find any real discussion on these. http://leatherwall.bowsite.com/TF/lw/thread2.cfm? threadid=304920&category=88#4497230
