RE: Merlin Bows...Don't overlook them!
Pinwheel,
You forgot about lower in vibration and recoil too...<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Seriously though, I would like to hear what you have to say about some of the newer single cam designs that utilize a softer drawing single cam with split strings...like the Browning Cyber cam, Hoyt Versa/Excel cams and Darton CPS systems. They would seem to not have some of the problems that you mentioned...ie, the hard draw cycle, etc....
