SA-

Thanks for the thumbs up.

The parabolics were designed to compete with the market of parallel designs, and in fact go one step further by making them further advanced. USA hunters have been fed straight limbed glass or power-tuff limbed bows for so long that it seems anything else the main populace doesn't want to look at, so Merlin decided to give them something for 2004 that they certainly WOULD want to look at.

The rest of us all know that the recurve limb design is very smooth, and will always look very sharp along with holding it's own with other designs. But as you so adeptly stated about the parabolic design-- it's new, it's cool, and it will certainly grab attention. Plus, from what I understand it is a phenominal shooter, too, especially when of course coupled with the Omega systemthat offers absolute straight and level nock travel. I know I'll be lugging one to my hunting stands this coming year, and I haven't even held one yet! Good shooting, Pinwheel 12

Edit--BTW, the camo isn't all THAT much darker than last year, and still disappears in the woods.
