Default What bow are you ordering in '03 and why?

Curious to see what you're all ordering for your 2003 hunting bow and why you're selecting that bow.

I am probably ordering a Mathews LX 70lbs 80% letoff, Trophy Ridge Matrix site, and a Trophy Taker Shaky Hunter rest (assuming I can install this rest). I have a Mathews MQ1 and it fits me very well.

I have a Bowtech Extreme VFT coming & will be putting a GKF Hunter Elite fall away on it with a Toxonics Aluminator sight. I will use either a combo of a Bowtech Quiver & a Vista hip quiver. Stabilizer may be a GKF Tranquilizer or some other high shock reducing stabilizer such as the SVL. Arrows will be Vapors in the matching camo to the bow with 4" Duravanes.

dhacker,

If I get a new one, it will be the Merlin Max 3000.
I like Merlin best because of the craftsmanship, looks, and feel.

Frank,

You should get a Merlin also.
If you do, you will never look back.
Even the Mathews guys at my local range acknowledge my Merlin bows are superior after seeing and handling them.
The owner of the shop, who pushes Mathews, said my Merlin bows are the most beautiful he has ever seen.
Hey, you asked for a suggestion. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
