The inserts are not compulsory - if you don't like them leave them out the machining is of good quality |
I doubt it would need the inserts with the front brace. Hoyt has a sophisticated stress modelling software. If leaving inserts on really was the #1 solution i hypothisise that a, it would be more common or b, it just plane ugly. I Loved the origional merlin lineup, then thy go and make a bow thats really pretty but ruin it with no cut outs then to top it off take away merlins #1 feature, the awesome grip thats been replaced with a plank of wood. I think they went for sales in america compromising along the way. Surely the Supernova is Merlins best target bow to date.
