Found you, Rod! For some reason I cannot get thru to you via e-mail.

Anyway, the Merlin Tempests are (were) Merlins' attempt at an "economy" bow. They are cast riser, glass limb, plastic grip, lesser materials. If you buy one, buy two,(they're cheap enough!) because that way you'll have one for parts as they all have been discontinued. The Tempest Solo was discontinued in 1999, and all Tempests, Shadows, and original Storms sold on e-bay or other liquidations are from a big order shipped here in late 1998 to my knowledge. Parts are scarce, modules can be found, I have a few here, e-mail for availability.

The Shadow and original Storms are machined risers, and probably a better buy if you can get them "priced right". Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
