You could call and find out about the limbs, but from my experience there are two major manufacturers of limb material. Gordon plastics and Barnesdale. Being as Martin doesn't use Barensdale limbs any more I'd just assume they come from Gordon, a company in Fenton, Missouri. Also from what I've seen (different manufacturer) the limb material comes in sheets and the limbs themselves are cut on a computer controlled water jet machine (like a laser) for their final shape. The idea of the water is that it dissipates heat which would cause harm to the limb construction. Then the limbs are precision ground and sanded for thickness and final shape and filmed dip for color or camo pattern. Then the axle and bolt holes are drilled.

Hope this explains a few things.

I'm sure you're right about the compound bows limbs, Barry, but the limbs of the Jaguar Take Down are fiberglass laminated wood as far as i have seen in the photos and videos. May be they make them in the Martin factory, but considering the price of the Jaguar i guess it's far more to the west

You could be right. Lord knows I don't know everything. I would say this. If they are made in Korea they'd be OK. Those people flat know how to make bows and shoot them. The Olympics prove that. As I said though, the Martin factory is but a phone call away to settle the question.
