The Martin Nemesis 35 is the flagship bow for the 2013 lineup. It was designed for the archer that prefers a longer ATA, and this bow fits the bill with a 35" ATA. The elongated riser, the X4 Twin Limbs, and the Nitro 3 Hybrid cams and the 7" brace height provide a solid platform with plenty of power at 335 fps. This is a higher priced bow and has the speed and looks to go with it. It can be adjusted from 35# - 70# draw weight and 26" - 31" draw length. All adjustments can be done easily without the need of a bow press. If the shooter wishes to use this rig as a hunting bow, they should not have any issues with the short kills as the speed will take care of everything, but on a shot beyond about 30 yards, there is enough noise and vibration in this bow that the shot could be compromised.
