New Merlin " Vision" to be released
For those who would like a Merlin, but do not want to spend the big $$ for top of the line equipment, you may just want to take a peek here--
Introducing the new Merlin " Vision" !
ATA--39.75
Brace---7"
Machined riser
Rapid 2 cams
Pro fusion limbs
fixed limb pockets
Retail price will be between $450-$490. Far less than the $700 retail of a Max or $669 of a Quest, without losing craftsmanship and shootability. Unfortunately the Omega cams are not available for this price, but this gives archers the alternative of owning a Merlin for nearly the same price as most any other decent midrange bow on the market.
More info on finalized pricing and availability in the coming days.

RE: New Merlin " Vision" to be released
Nice looking piece of equipment. I have to give Merlin kudos for how far they have come compared to the days when I carried around the early Storm model.
It is a great time of year...hunting seasons are here and the 04' s are about to come out.
I hear Hoyt is coming out with a new bow called the " X-Tech" . Something like 35.5" ATA, a 7 inch brace, and IBO of 310. My understanding is that one of the options is a wooden handle that fits over the riser. Sounds like a modified version of the UltraTech to me. I believe they may have something in the 31" ATA also. Doesn' t sound like they made any changes on the cams but anything is possible. It is hard to get anyone to " spill the beans" on these secrets.
Anyone have any other news on 04 models?

Rangeball-
The Visions' speeds are around 300fps with target modules, and 310fps with the turbo modules.
I cannot say much about the 33" bow just yet, but it will be a beauty.
More on this bow later.
Antler Eater-
Yes, Merlin has come far in a short time, and will definately be taking some big strides here in the USA market over the next couple of years. (inside scoop)
Hoyt is coming out with a shoot-thru riser similar to the old York STO and the Alternative Exact and Kudalcek Genesis. The cam.5 will now be called the " cam.5 plus" . That' s about all I' ve heard. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
