PW12,
As I have stated before, I think the Max is a GREAT hunting bow, about as good as it gets. I am getting ready to become a 2 bow owner, so I need something different. I am thinking a fun, fast bow is in order. There is a place for a little added speed, but I agree, not in hunting. Stacking broadheads at 30 and 40 yards is where it is at in the woods (mountains in my case).

Nice how you *hint*hint* there. I think a smooth shooting speed bow from Merlin would be a ton of fun for 3D. Don't know if I can afford another brand new, high end bow, but we will have to see.
