All Merlins are some of the finest crafted bows on the planet, and now with the new Pro-Fusion Plus Carbon limb technology, coupled with the stunning new "Syntech" laminated limbskins that reduce high-frequency sonic vibrations, AND protect the entire limb to boot, you certainly owe it to yourself to try one. I know a little bit about the Merlins, so if you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime. I also used to shoot an H-500 back in the mid 80's, and can tell you that you will certainly be in for a treat if you try a Supernova or pretty much any other new bow on the market! Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
