Rangeball-

Norb will be doing a tech write up, yes. I don't know the details of when or if we will get a "preview" as yet. For that matter I don't even know exactly when it will be coming out. Nope, had no chrony nearby, I think Bowtech was hoarding them all to play their speed games.

Merlin wasn't aware of the Max-Xtreme name being used by High Country or anyone else when we named the bow----we based the bow on the Max 3000 riser, and threw in the "Xtreme" because it is much shorter and more radical-looking than the Max 3000. That's it. Very hard to run around with a list of every bow model made by every company over the past decade, and there are many others out there whom have used the same name over the years if you think about it for a second---in fact PSE has a Nova, and Merlin had one before it. No biggie there, no lawsuits or gripes. How about the Phoenix by Parker---it was also used by Horizon. Mathews Featherlite was used by Alpine also around the same time--etc etc, etc.. Not even worth my time really to think of any more but there are many. I don't think Spencer will have a cow over something like that to be honest, and I don't see why anyone else should either. If the Merlin Max-Xtreme takes off, HCA may gain an increase in sales due to "mistaken identity!"

Yep, everyone was busting a gut over the "Bowboogers"! Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
