Rangeball--

Merlin did design a bow similar to the one pictured that would honestly do over 320. But it was a bear to draw, and was very touchy, just like most other high-speed offerings. For those who only care about what the chronograph reads, we would have sold a few, sure, but most hunters who sit in a tree for hours on end would've complained after they tried to draw their bow. Making a fast bow is easy----making a bow with decent brace that is very smooth, quiet and forgiving, yet still shoots decent speeds, is another animal altogether. If you compare this bow to others of the same configuration, and taking into account the fact that Merlin's drawlengths are DEAD-ON AMO, and they don't Streeeetch ratings for a sale, I think you'll find that they are very competitive with other bows of the same configurations found anywhere.Ask anyone that shoots a Merlin about this, their bows are almost always faster than the advertised speeds. We will be offering a slightly lower letoff module (true 65% instead of 72-73%) which will give you a few more feet along with a bit more holding weight,(which is why we are offering it, some shooters like a bit more) but the cam will stay the same.

As far as KE goes, this bow has plenty. Don't be mislead by "approximate" IBO speeds as to what the performance quotient of a bow actually is.


Thanks for the assist Frank on the pics, and the thumbs up. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
