Sag--

I'm here to stick up for you my friend! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> (just a little late)<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Oh C.mon PW..you are here sticking up for Merlin, Not Sag <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>I too, now which bow works better in MY hands <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
As I and others who shoot Bowtech, Hoyt, Mathews or any other brand have found out as well<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>1) Doesn't matter how fast you go past! If you can't hit what you're aiming at, speed means squat.(this coming from a guy who has played the speed game for many years)<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Played the game for many years too (not as many as you, but enough). If you CAN hit what you are aiming at, the point is moot.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>2) Recurve limbs are smoother and more responsive than straight, split limbs, well, we won't even go there! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle><hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

I'll agree to a certain extent, however I find the gap between the two with modern materials not be a major factor like it once was. Certainly not enough to influence my purchasing decision.
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>3)Tolerances, and attention to design and detail, along with top-grade materials and parts, make the bow. (along with geometry that is accuracy-oriented and designed to fit a wide variety of people)<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>.
Agreed. I've found the tolerance of Bowtech, Hoyt, Martin, Darton, and a few other companies quite good, and certainly more than adequate. At a certain point the returns for going overboard are not seen in the end results. My Merlin, as well as the two Max2000's I shot did not shoot in hands any better than any other brand I have tried. Nice bows for sure, built like a tank, but IN MY HANDS, the felt "funny", so I didn't shoot them well (or I should say, any better). That's all that counts. I think the key point here is that it's the shooter , NOT the bow. assuming a quality piece of equipment.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>4) Popularity is fun as you get to be part of the crowd, but that does little for you if the bow S's the bed and you need stuff repaired and the company is backed up seemingly forever. A bow that has the company stand behind products 100% and gets sutuff out with speed and precision is that one that will win that race. Need the overall combination to "make the grade".In all fairness, the guys at Bowtech DO stand behind their stuff, too.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Absolutely..Bowtech overnighted a new bow to my dealer when the shipping company destroyed my first bow.You would never see that from most of the other manufacturers!

C'mon PW what's wrong with being part of the crowd and enjoying the company of people who have the same tastes as yourself? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> we do that in every aspect of life, why not archery? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>5) Like I said,I've shot them all, and know which one I'll choose, thanks.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote> Me too. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>C'mon, Sag, we'll have to go to Bedford this year,I'll come out of "retirement" if I can break away, (still can shoot a decent 3D score on my worst day, it's like riding a bike) and we'll show them what it's all about.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> We'll get Pizonarcher, RobVos, Field 14, and BlackFrog to go too. We'll have a ball! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote> so it IS OK to be part of a crowd? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>But we should make it a point to stop by the Bowtech and Hoyt and Mathews booths while we're there so they can look closer at the winning design. (we may have to run when they start shooting at us, tho! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>) <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote> I don't know about Hoyt and Mathews, but I hope you can run really fast if you stop by the Bowtech booth and the shooting starts! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Yep, this is fun, isn't it?<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Sure is! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
