The Max Extreme would be the best new hunting bow for me.
Too bad, it's not available in a 31" draw length.
It would probably replace my Mach 8 this year.
I know the Merlin quality first hand.
The only bow that competes with Merlin for overall quality is the Bowman.
Yes, I own both brands and am biased.
But the reason I own both is because I only want to own the very best available.
Other bows are very good to excellent but Merlin and Bowman sit at the top right now. JMO
