    My good lady and I have recently joined the merlin club after 18 years away from archery ..previously we were target archers but we love the simplicity of shooting this way in a lovley location close to where we live..the team at the new large premises in Burton on trent are so accommodating and helpful ..

    Thorough review, Jim. You mentioned doing a ‘tuning’ video - I’d be interested to see that. Be also good to understand more about different types of strings as well. All the best, stay safe.

    I personally prefer wooden bows. But this is a really beautiful piece. Especially in the bronze color. :)

    Nice one Jim I enjoyed that
    I bought one of these in a greeny gold colour(Shines but all about personal taste hey ;)
    I bought mine from Merlin about a year ago and have been using it with Black wolf 50 pound limbs and love it it was noisy at first but change the brace height find a beaver and steal its balls and it will quiet down nicely,I also leather wrapped the grip its more comfortable and you dont need a glove in winter as Aluminium sucks up cold and freezes your hand solid I think it helps damp down the sound and a damper rod on the front it just whispers
    Up shot is it aint cheap but it is a very nice riser and I struggle with which bow to use the Black wolf or the pathfinder they are both great will add I always buy from Melin if im buying new they are the best I have found out there best price honest service.

    Great to see the woods again. I was there for the EFAA Spring champs. I'll be back for the EFAA nationals later in the year. Bow looks good too ;)

    I have the first one Ben and Merlin sold, went there for a new tab with finger separator and came out with the tab plus a black Pathfinder and Matthews bow quiver + heavy hunter arrows, its a really nice bow

    My 19" bronze is coming in a couple of weeks and looking forward to it. It's quite a minimalist and lightweight bow which is what I was looking for.

    I have this riser paired with Uukah limbs at 47 # and its a great combo I really like it 😀

    It's great watching you again! If you will still go gathering - do not give up shooting it. It was really good to watch. I have a question for you. I shoot with W&W Black Elk 30lbs (I had to reduce - before that 40lbs). Did I understand correctly that it is best to choose arrows with a hardness of 700 to 30lbs?

    Nice bow. Good they make the 19inch riser too . I’ve got the Black Wolf and find that a noisy bow but who cares if they are good shooters.

    Hi great review 👍
    Just wondering what the riser would be like in the rain would it become slippery at all ?
    And also what do you think of the cottonmouth 2 bow ??
    I know there 2 very different bows
    I'm keen on both but being in NZ I can't just pop in to a store and have a look
    Any advice would be appreciated
    Thanks

    What material did you put on your riser shelf? All the ones I find and have used come off after a couple days of shooting my sino art 60 lb bow.

    Hi Jim. What draw length are you? I'm 29.5" I am interested in the 19" riser with medium MYBO limbs making a 62" bow. My question is did you feel any stacking at all?...Just I don't like stacking as it's me fighting the bow.

  • @yewtreeknives5834

    Hi Jim, do you think these pathfinder limbs are better than the Win&Win black wolf limbs ?

    • @MerlinArchery

      I'd need to spend a little more time comparing them to give you an comprehensive answer Mark, but both are great quality

    If you had to choose between the Mybo Pathfinder and the Win & Win Black Wolf, which one would you go for and why?

    • @MerlinArchery
      @MerlinArchery  3 місяці тому +1

      oooh Don't make me pick. 😅
      I love the grip on the Pathfinder, and the W&W is very smooth, id have to get them both out agin and have a ply to remind myself... -GJ

    • @ThirdLawPair

      ​​​@@MerlinArchery I would *love* to see a comparison of some high-tech traditional bows. I'm ready to upgrade from my starter bow (The SinoArt Black Hunter) and it is a really hard decision. Entry level bows are so good these days, that one has to make a very good choice in selecting a "next-level" bow for it to even constitute an upgrade. I don't want to decide based off of speed alone, but no one has done a comprehensive side-by-side of multiple candidates for an upgrade bow. Kramer Ammons did an awesome systematic comparison of starter bows. I think you could do a phenomenal job systematically comparing multiple "next-level" bows for those who are ready to upgrade.

    Can the Pathfinder be used in barebow competitions?

  • @xianwuxing
    @xianwuxing Рік тому

    They shold have made the grip with an option for wooden or plastic grip. If you don't like the narrow grip, there are no options.

  • @offthearrowshelf
    @offthearrowshelf 3 роки тому +1

    Does look good with a mat finish, though as you say it needs a bit of tuning as sounds a little twangy, which is probably arrow and bow match choice.
    Does the hand grip allow for adding a wooden grip as that could be a nice addition.
    Stick with hit quiver mate as we get to see the bow better :-)
    Stay safe

    You look weird with a metal riser. A bit like Thor swapping his 42lb hammer for a wooden mallet lol. :D
