Tis the season for a giveaway!

Do you have someone special on your list that you would like to buy something for but just don't have the money? Well, let me be of service. Here is all you have to do...

Post the first name, their relation to you and the reason you would like to give them a gift and Martin Archery will supply a brand new Bengal!

The contest will start today and run through December 15th. I will be picking one person at random. I also have 3 ArcheryTalk hats, one each in camo, black or white that I will be giving away to 3 runner ups. Limit one entry per person.


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Let me be the first to say, Thanks Joel and Merry Christmas to yourself and the Martin Archery family!

My wife's name is Paula and this would be the perfect gift to get her started into archery!

My hunting partner and way too frugal to buy a new high end bow.
He has taught me ALOT about bow-hunting over the last 6 years, that would be an awesome Christmas blessing for him.

I have a young man who is interested in archery. He has his dads' old bow which doesn't fit. I've already helped with some equipment for him when he mowed lawn. His rig is outdated and doesn't fit? I've done all I can do and his mom and dad aren't rolling in money. If I could aford it I'ld buy him one myself. His parents are friend of mine and I would really like to keep this young man interested in archery! His name is Bo!

My father, Harold.

Over the last 10 years he's not only introduced me into the archery world, but he's instilled in me a passion for the sport that I never thought could exist. I eat, sleep, and breathe archery and I owe it all to him.

He's been a die hard Martin fan since before I was born, and as I'm currently unemployed I'm not able to purchase him a new bow. This would make an excellent gift for him.

Thanks

Name Ross
I have 5 sons and all of them shoot bow except for Ross. He is going to college full time (paying for it himself) and can't afford a bow right now. He recently has showed a strong interest in shooting and has shot my bows, but he needs a longer draw bow.
Thanks Joel, and Martin Archery for offering this generous gift to some lucky person!
Tom

Talking Bengal giveaway

Thanks Joel, and Merry Christmas and Happy Hoidays to you and the Martin family and crew at both locations.

I would love to win this bow to give to my adult son. He has shot since he was 3 years old...but a few years ago was given a ma----s and I want to get him back to Martin bows. He is a good person and deserves the best.

I would like to give it to my brother Chuck. He is pretty broke and his old compound is not safe to shot anymore.

He always wanted to bow hunt and shoot at targets with me and my kids. He plans on retiring in about a year and what a perfect gift that may just get him shooting with us and hopefully hunting.

I can't decide whether to enter my wife or my oldest son.

Alright, I'll enter my son, Seth. He's 11 years old and been shooting a little Browning for about 2 years off and on. He's quickly out-growing that Browning though and it's time for him to get a new bow because he's getting more serious about shooting accuracy and wanting to hunt with his bow. I was planning to start looking for him this summer so he can practice before next deer season so we can hunt together, but December 15th sounds like a better time as he'd be totally fired up opening it from under the Christmas tree.

he has'nt been bow hunting for the last 15 plus years and all he has is a old fred bear bow that is not in very good shape and he definetly needs a new one he finally got back into it this year but whenever he wants to go he has to take my bow because his is in no shape to go hunting i can't afford to buy him a new bow because i am only 15 and don't have a very good income and he won't go spend the money on a new one he sais i will just use yours i am very glad to let him use it but sometimes it leaves me without a bow to go hunting with so i have to stay home while he hunts it gets kind of annoying sometimes because i can't go hunting so it would be very nice if i could get this bow for him for christmas so we could go together or he could go without my bow and by the way people and companies like this make this site awesome

He has an old bow that his Dad used to have. Just would like for him to have a better bow so he can enjoy shooting.

Thanks for this opportunity!

Joel,

Thank you very much for this gift, no matter who receives it.
I would like to put in for my wife, Anne. She is a stay at home mom, that gave up her career to help out with school and raise our two boys. Both of my boys are shooting archery now, but we have not found a way to fit Anne into the budget yet. A new Bengal would be a blessing. The whole family could be shooting for christmas.

Thank you and have a great holiday!
Cameron

Thumbs up

Steven....no relation but he is a young Sailor that I have met. He has an old High Country bow that is extremely out dated. He is trying his best to become an archer and a bow hunter with what he has because he can not afford a new bow. He is stationed on Whidbey Island Naval Air Station here in Oak Harbor, Washington.

Jason, my brother. He got me into bowhunting. If it weren't for him I would get to hunt very little if at all since I'm in a wheelchair. He always helps get me set up before he goes to his stand.
Oh and the last new bow he bought himself was a Buck Saber.

Thanks Joel, this is a very graciuos gesture and is appreciated greatly.
Name: Bradley
Relation: Son
Bradley has outgrown his PSE Nova Jr. and is very eager to step up to a larger bow. He shoots with me two to three times a week and constantly asks me about a new bow. Something like this would surely fill some space under the tree as well as his thirst for archery.
Thanks for the opportunity and Happy Holidays, Alan

He is somehow brainwashed by these BowTech bows and I am sure a new Martin would help him on the road to recovery.

a vote for my beautiful wife Kim ... Cause she wants to learn how to shoot and with her being a stay at home mom money is tight for Christmas and we can't afford a bow for her right now ... She always puts what the kids and I want first before anything she wants and I would love to be able to get her a bow for Christmas so that she would be able to spend more quality time with me and our two boys while learning to shoot !!

Merry Christmas All,

Mike
