Martin Onza 3
Personal Commentary by Jon Silks about the Martin Onza 3:
The Onza 3 had a rough test, as it did not crack the top 4 in any category and speed didn't lift it to the top 4 in the overall results. I was surprised it didn't hit the top 4 in the draw cycle category because it is super smooth in my estimation. I also like the leather back grip. This bow is relatively loud and the testers were quick to note that during the test. It has a notable kick with some low level vibration. The Onza 3 is extremely solid at full draw showcasing great balance.

Using the Above Table: Kinetic Energy: (in foot-pounds)
This is the energy that actually goes into propelling the arrow. Basically it is the energy that is left over from the stored energy after all of the bow system friction is accounted for. Using The Above Graph: The area under the graph signifies the amount of energy stored by the system from brace height to full draw (power stroke). The shape of the curve is generated by a plot of draw weight in pounds against draw length in inches and gives an indication of how the bow will feel when drawn. The more rounded the curve the more "smooth" the feel of the draw cycle, however, if the curve is "squared-off" it will likely feel more aggressive. The trade off comes in performance, as the more aggressive curve is generally indicative of more stored energy and more speed.
