They are up for sale already. You can get one on a couple of different on-line web sites. I don't know how it shoots, but there is a guy on here who ordered some for his church youth group. When he gets them he will shoot them and let us all know what they are like. -Chris

It looks a lot like a PSE Coyote which is not a good thing.
If it shoots like a Coyote it should be a pretty short lived design. Martin can do better than that.

I like the looks of it but I have to agree. That's what a lot of people seem to say.

You can order one.... does not mean you can get one.
That is me. I and my kids are waiting, not so patiently, for them to arrive.
For several months we've been being told "the middle/end of March" so they should be here soon
I called Martin on Friday, March 20 and they said they are having a hard time getting the parts for the bow, and another shipment is due to come in this month. By the sounds of it they're being imported. The person at Martin did not say when this month. I want to check one out too. You can't even order one from the Martin Online Store.

Spoke w/ some folks yesterday about the Jaguar Take Down....
A limited number of bows were shipped already, they are currenlty waiting on the next batch of limbs to arrive from "overseas". They are in a container, on a ship, in transit.
For those that want the limbs only, to make a recurve out of an existing riser, you need to order Part # C-19

Funny. I always assumed that Martin was made in the USA. Maybe the big american flag on their homepage that says MADE IN USA. Strange it would be coming "overseas".

What was conveyed to me was that they got overwhelmed (perhaps underestimated demand???) and could not make enough recurve limbs fast enough without negatively impacting their compound bow production. Makes good business sense to me. Don't get me wrong I'm about as patriotic as you would expect from a Sailor who volunteered for "shore duty" to Iraq and Kuwait... but if it comes down to "made in the USA" and waiting 6 months for a bow, or get it 3 months sooner because it was "Assembled in the US from foreign and domestic parts." I'm going for the bow sooner rather than later.

Lonehunter that is some good news, I put an order in for two a few months back , ((a 45# and a 55# ( to grow into ) )), I figured for the price order two,
Only problem is the waiting part.
My shop guy said the limbs looked suspiciously "italian" to him, and if so they should be a decent limb.
