You guys have been busy while I' ve been away! Now, I' ve got a million e-mails/PM' s to catch up on, but I' ll try to give you my quick thoughts on this bow---

EXCELLENT.

The bow has all of the attributes that the guys have stated above, and the Omega system is by far the best hybrid system on the market IMHO because of it' s simplicity and the fact that you gain straight and level knock travel at ALL drawlengths as it has been configured that way.

The Quest 35 is super quiet, handles great, and is extremely accurate. I also sell Diamond bows--the Diamond is a nice bow, but when you set it next to a Merlin it' s like placing a bowie knife next to a scalple-- it just doesn' t have the same craftsmanship or as many attributes. All depends on what you need and/or want I guess.

The HQ 31 is glass limb only.

I' ll try to get back and answer more on this later. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
