Thanks.

Take it to JimBows and see if they can get it to FIT YOU! While many a used bow are good bows, not all of them fit everyone. Too long/short of draw and you'll be fighting the bow for accuracy.
Unless your good friend is fairly close to the same dimensions as you, the bow will be needing adjustment to fit you.
That all being said, I looked hard at the Martin Cheetah years ago before deciding to go a different route. I think Martin bows are under-rated for the technology they put into them at the time of production. Or maybe I was just interested in the girl in the ads?
