RE: Merlin Bows...Don't overlook them!

I shoot indoor leagues every week and have heard just about every bow on the market. My Ultratec is'nt the quietest bow around , but it's quieter than alot of other solocams I have. As for the Hoyt striker w/command cams , I guess it depends on how you set it up , Ive heard strikers that were just as quiet as the next bow. With my ultratec , I've shot side by side with a buddy that has the Pearson 38special with no noticeable difference between the two.(The 38special made the quietest bow list).
Probably the main reason (besides accuracy) for shooting a longer ATA with double cams is the smoothness of the draw. Every year I see more and more guys sidelined from shoulder injuries and I'll deffinately avoid that scenario (knock on wood) by shooting a smooth drawing double cam bow.

Sorry for getting off topic! I may be bullheaded when it comes to sticking with my american bows , but I will say , from what I see from their website , Merlin appears to have some appealing bows.
Have they (Merlin) ever given consideration to starting up a mfg plant in the U.S?
