Now if I could only find a Merlin dealer...

Rangeball,

Call or E-Mail Kevin (Pinwheel 12) @ Merlin Archery
He is very informative and goes the extra mile in helping find the right bow for you

After test shooting a Merlin Max Extreme, My first word was "Unbelievable". I shot this bow (keeping my eyes closed)with no stabilizer or sting silencers, and, yes, all I could say was, "Unbelievable".

I shot this bow last week, after just recouperating from an elbow replacement. I am looking for something more forgiving and less weight than my 8 year old PSE
SLR-1000 @ 70#/28"draw. I have shot other bows but so far this bow fits everything I am looking for in a hunting bow.

I'm a hunter,I don't shoot 3D.
I shoot with an open grip and no sling. Even flinging many different size & weight arrows, the Max Extreme (@ 59#s & 28" draw) did not jump out of my hands
No recoil, No shock, No Noise ! SMOOOOTH !!!!!

What an unbelievable bow.

You won't be disappointed. Just search other archery sites and you won't find one Merlin Owner complaining about their bow or the service they received.

"Thanks for the review -bohunt, and it was sincerely nice to meet you and discuss the bows.

For anyone interested in viewing the bows, go to www.merlin-bows.co.uk They are built in England, but we now have the Merlin USA office right here and all sales along with an warranty issues that may arise are dealt with swiftly on 'this side of the pond'. Watch for upcoming technical reviews and head-to-head tests of the Max-Xtreme in various archery publications in the coming weeks and months also--it's a sleeper, and many other manufactuers are going to be very surprised I think. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12"
