Hi all, I have about a Martin ML10 longbow that i got 15 to 20 years ago, I’m 6’4″ and have problems with the bow stacking before comming to full draw, can I sand down the bell of the tips or some where else to make this bow work better for me?
Thanks, JD

No, I’m afraid YOU can’t. You might or might not be able to send it out to a “bow doctor” and get it done, but for an old factory bow that had little market value, I doubt it’s worth the money, esp. when you consider that with a lighter bow (result of weakening the limbs) you’ll likely need to start all over with new arrows, etc. I’d suggest you start shopping for a longer bow and/or one designed esp. for long-draw shooters. Keith Chastain in Colorado is one bowyer who specializes in such, being a “stretch” himself. Good luck.

David is right!!!!
The Martin straight longbow is a good one but,,,,is not what you need,,probably?
Invest in a Martin Savanah or Viper,,,Black Widow etc. Straight D Bows usually draw pretty smooth at longer draw weights. maybe your overbowed???:)

The ML10 is 60 lbs @ 28″ and I hunt with a Bob Lee Rrecurve that is 65 lbs @ 31″.
My draw is about 30″ the Bob Lee is easy for me to hold at full draw, the martin feels like it hits a wall the last two inches or so.
I guess it will stay in retirement.
Thanks, JD
