It seems the black carbon has caught many an eye!I thought about getting the nemesis because its a nice bow but my preference is a shorter lighter bow but 3.5 lbs isn't much from 3.8. That is why I got the Alien, shorter and a little lighter. That is a nice bow! congrats as well.
Okay so i have league night on Wednesday ill post up a full review along with a score comparison and what not after.

Congrats, looks great. I like a little longer ATA and some weight as well, with the solid back wall I think the weight helps me with pin drift.
Okay so instead of starting a new thread ill do my review here.
Out of the box fit and finish- Better then my previous Martins, but not perfect still a couple machining marks and one paint hiccup but overall looks very nice.
Cam Comparison Nitro 2 to the Nitro 3- I feel no significant difference The Nemesis draws very smooth but so did my Onza, I feel the Nemesis might be a little smoother but that could be because of the ccs.
Stability of the bow and Feel at the shot- This is one of the most stable bows i have ever shot its right there on target and stays right there after the shot the bow does absolutely nothing but sit there and look good lol, No kick or vibration. Holds very Steady.
Tuning- I was not able to get a perfect bullet through paper but i walked back tuned it with a bareshaft at twenty yards and got it close enough part of the reason why i won't and never will get a bullet through paper is because of the cam system being a hybrid cam system without a double yoke Cam lean is there and always will be, You mix cam lean with a CCS roller guard you get a lot of side torque on the bow this worries me with the split limbs i feel in the future there will be a reliance on one limb which will cause limb failure I will be looking into replacing the Roller Guard with a cable slide and tilt tamer. But after Walk back tuning and Bareshaft tuning i was able to hit dimes at 20 yards with this bow so very accurate.
Speed- 28 inch draw 360 grain arrow 56 pounds i got 271-273 i had a peep and a dloop with a brass knock on the string with some silencers i feel this bow is right there with ibo which is good to hear for 3D.
Draw Cycle-Silky smooth
Overall summary and score comparison- Besides the Roller guard its a great bow my scores (not trying to brag or sound like a backyard Pro) But are the best in all 3 of my league nights, and lets just say shooting this bow is no different. My first time shooting this bow on my league night i shot my average and then over my average so i see nothing but improvement form here on out. I don't shoot 5 spot we shoot 3 Paper animal target we shoot all three at 6 different yardages Scoring is the Quarter size ring is a 5 the palm of your hand size ring is a 3 anything else is a 1 or a zero, Perfect game is a 90 ive shot 86 is my highest, my average is 76 It's a friendly competition nothing more but fun to shoot.

Cam Timing out of the box was golden to, First time that's ever happened to me on an out of the box bow.

Very nice review, thanks Wilt! Makes me wish I could afford a new bow this year![]()
My wife packed my bags and threw me out, as I was walking out the door, she told me "I hope you have a long and miserable life!"... To which I replied "Oh, now you want me to stay?!" LOL
