That's an XS Alpha cam model, one of our hottest sellers right now. bbahunter shoots that bow.
Here is an XT target, longer 38" ATA and 7.5" BH with Viper cam, or 7.75" BH with Alpha cam. This is a Viper model--

One oftheprototypes we developed during R&D, this is the3rd generation andclosest to the final production XT model that is shown above. I have been shooting this bow since last July for 3D's---still going strong! This bow differs from the production models in that it has pockets machined out of the same riser piece, and the cams are not completed, they are just 'hogged out' andpretty rough. Limbs are just plain glass blanks too, far less durable than the production bows.
Collectors item tho!Thought you'd be interested to know we've got about 18 months of R&D into these two models..

And finally, aclose-up of the "wild-oak" camo. We tried 33 times with all sorts of different patternsbefore we came up with this one---threw it into the fall leaves, (NH in October)and that was it, sweetness!
I will say and I'm sure bbahunter and others can agree that the pics simply do not do these bows justice---gotta see them for yourselves to truly appreciate.

RE: MERLIN
The riser inserts can be changed simply by buying another set (around $20 retail) and removing the old ones, and putting in the new. Cheap way to change the color of your bow, check out the difference this simple change makes-- Quite a few guys and gals are currently "experimenting".
