In keeping with the trend for 2008, Martin has also produced a new super-fast bow. The Pro-X Firecat establishes its IBO speed of 335 to 345 fps with a 7-inch brace height. If those speed numbers hold up, it is the fastest bow that I’m aware of with a 7-inch brace height.
That can mean only one thing: The CAT cam has to be very aggressive to store that much energy. Actually, the CAT cam is a hybrid dual cam where each cam is tied to the other to eliminate the effects of harness stretch. This is a good-looking bow with parallel limbs, a string suppressor and a soft rubber grip for a warm feel. The Pro-X Firecat is 33 inches long and has a suggested retail price of $550.
