JeffB-

Thanks for your fair assessment of the Max X.

Jmac-

Thanks for your input---this is how all manufacturers produce better equipment.

Now-

The R2 cams offer the same relative speeds as the Omega cam system if utilizing the target modules, which much like the Omega produce the smooth draw that everyone wants in a hunting bow. Sure we could slap the Turbo mods on them and beef up the speed by 15fps, but in a hunting bow, high speed means squat to anyone except the younguns who like to see it go thru a chrono or those who are trying to take down antelope at 80 yds and need a tighter hit window---everyone else knows that you ALWAYS give to get when it comes to speed, I played that game myself when I was younger and yep, it takes awhile to figure it out, but eventually most everyone does as they get older. The Max X produces more-than-adequate speed and KE for a bow with over 8" of brace height, BTW.

So, we decided to offer the smooth draw that everyone wanted, while still maintaining excellent geometry, brace height, and shootability/accuracy needed for definitive arrow placement under stressful hunting conditions. We personally feel we hit the goal with the Max X, and it certainly does exactly what it was designed to do.

Now, Merlin does keep their ears open to customers' wants/needs, so you never know what may pop up in the future lineup!

Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
