everyone pretty much covered this except to say that there major down fall was the v max cam ,what a disaster ,i had one it was a piece of junk , i complained big time about it to my shops xi sales rep well they came out with a replacement call the velocity exterme (i still have it ),thye swapped me it for free, it still shoots good , i still have an xi nemisis also , when xi was a internet only company they offered to buy back their old bows,i think it was for 50 bucks toward the purchase of one of their new ones, they were only about 289 or somewhere in that ball park! but like sagittarius said and i had this happen to me the riser on my velocity was bent ,it was repaired by my local shop they unbent it and didn't charge me because they think that they may have done it ! it still shoots good ! until i can afford to get a second hoyt i'll keep it, it makes a good back up! you should look into buying something else though , xi limbs are good , but you can't get them anymore if one breaks !
