pup,

If you want the fastest bow, get a Bowtech. The quietest bow for hunting, get a Mathews.
But if you want the best bow get a Merlin.
Not as fast as Bowtech or quiet as Mathews but Merlin is more than adequate in both departments.
Compare Merlin's limbs, limb pockets, cams, riser geometry and finish, plus different string harnesses and overall craftsmanship to any bow on the planet.
Especially, look at Merlin's limbs and limb pockets!
Don't take my word for it.
Just compare!
