I'd opt for the SlayR Nitrous X. It is the fastest bow Martin produces and also one of the most stable. The SlayR is perfectly balanced with just a front stabilizer and does not require back weights or side weights to feel right. It is hard to find a bow that shoots as quiet as the SlayR even though it shoots faster than most production bows on the market, especially at the shorter draw lengths. Both bows are extremely accurate.

I currently have a Razor X SE Nitrous X set up for hunting and it shoots fantastic, but I'd still take the SlayR over the Razor on the 3-D course for the extra speed and mass weight.

Martin 3-D bow

Crackers has played around with a SlayR with straight limbs and it showed great promise. His Razor-X Mag is also a great bow, and he has built several of these for greatful shooters. He can also make a really good 3-D bow using a Scepter riser and mag limbs. All these are very accurate and steady shooters.

I was leaning more towards the SlayR anyway, but I needed some other opinions. I am shooting a Cougar III SE nitrous for hunting and I'm ordering a new bow for IBO and ASA.
Thanks for your help

I currently shoot a slayr for everything. It shoots clean rounds indoors, super fast for 3D and the perfect hunting bow. I just ordered two more of them.

SlayR

I would go with the Slayr. I've shot many 3D bows over the years and this bow is the best shooter hands down. It's extremely forgiving and gets awesome speed for shorter draw lengths such as myself. I love the weight of the bow and it balances real well during the aiming process. You can't go wrong with this bow, especially if your main goal is 3D shooting.

Thanks for the input. :D

JDES900X- What about the Cougar III or the Shadow Cat?

I shot a Cougar III for 3D last year and it did very well... This year I'm opting for the Shadow Cat. I'll never get some of the speeds ya'll will because of the low poundage I shoot, but for what I shoot, the Cougar was pretty darned speedy. It's well balanced and very accurate. I havent set up the Shadow Cat yet but I should have it up and running in the next week or two... I can't wait to see how it performs on a 3D range! :D :D

I've not shot the SlayR but i've heard wonderful things about it. It's a speedy bow.

The nitrous cams are AWESOME though! I have them on all three of my bows!

I shot a slayr with the nitrous cams and it seemed to be very noisy. Shot the same area with a different bow to see if it was arrow and it wasnt the arrow. I wanted this bow, but I just couldn't get over the noise. Anyone else noticed this?

Something must have been wrong with the bow you shot, because the SlayR I shot was very smooth and quiet without a stabilizer.
