    Default Silencer vs Firecat 400

    Does anyone know the exact difference between the two, other than the obvious slight difference in the riser design and the axle to axle length being a little bit longer on the firecat. Also, do they shoot the same? Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

    Lets see, Obvious riser design difference, differnt axle to axle length. Do they shoot the same? I doubt it! Maybe some of the shop guys could answer your question. But in the meantime, why not take a few monents and register, we can always use some more input.

    I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but the Silencer(Gold Series) is cheaper than the Firecat 400(Pro Series), so that is another difference.

    I've shot both, and couldn't tell a difference. Same speed, same noise level (quiet), and same amount of hand shock (very little), same smooth draw. The only real difference I noticed was that the Silencer weighs less. It's .2 pounds lighter. Doesn't sound like much, but once it's fully rigged for hunting or targets, it's a difference. I own a 2011 Firecat, and am getting ready to get a Silencer as well. The price tag is alot lighter on the Silencer as well. lol

    Default Silencer vs Firecat

    The only difference is the riser that causes the increased weight. Other than that they have the same exact specs.

    The two Martin bows I'm most interested in. Too bad I need about a 26" draw or I would likely have one of those already.

    ^^ The way it should be, never having to know if customer service is great or not! Too bad it isn't that way for all companies. It makes you wonder when eveyone knows about great customer service from a company doesn't it? ^^
