Its a shame when anyone starts out a post with the words "I'll never" because that is indicative of a lack of willingness to try something that could very well improve your shooting. Negativity like that only says that you are stubborn to possibly doing a little research and finding out that what Sag is saying is infact the case.
I've owned top of the line Hoyts and Mathews and they are fine shooting bows, but I will second Sag in that the Max 2000 is the most impressive bow I have ever shot and owned. I was nervous as hell about buying the bow sight unseen but when enough qualified proven target shooters swear by a bow and a bow company there is no need to second guess. "I'll never" type of people will "never" reach there potential. Try to have an open mind and have a little trust when enough top target archers say something is a no brainer, and the Max2000 for an all around bow and the Supernova for spots are "no brainers"

As you can see in my post , I said I'll never buy "another" bow without trying it out first. Another , meaning not again. I've made that mistake before and I learn from my first mistakes.
As for a Merlin making me a better shot<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle> You dont really believe that , do you? It is'nt the bow that makes a great archer!
As for you owning top of the line Mathews and Hoyts , but you now believe your Merlin is superior , well , that sounds too familiar. Everyone with a new bow feels their new purchase is superior to everything else.
Like I said before , it's just my patriotic feelings to spend my hard earned american cash on top quality american made archery products if for no other reason than , american made archery products are second to none!
To each his own , if your shooting Merlin and your happy thats all that counts.
