The draws are all about 3" too short so, I was really taking it slow through the draw cycle. The nitro 3 is smooth the whole way through with a very minor bump into the valley.

They made some modifications to the riser design, relocated the cable slider and added spacers to the axle.

I take it someone had a bad experience with a carbon riser Bowtech recently? :chuckle:

He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Since the New Martin got rid of that awful roller guard I think they are a very good bow for the money.  The Alien I took my antelope with last year is quite possibly the quietest bow I have ever shot.  There is a little cam lean but not anything more than any Hoyt I have had in the past 10 years.  New limbs are durable and well matched.  I think the Martin grip needs a little fit and finish done, but it in no way is bad.  You get a lot of things for a very fair price with Martin bows.  And I am really excited about what I hear is coming along for 2015!

My Alien might get some more work in a few weeks when I head out turkey hunting.  And I won't head out after turkey with a bow I don't have complete confidence in.  Still trying to decide between the Experience and the Alien for that hunt, it's a tough decision.
