I believe you're looking for the new MAX-XTREME Carbon by High Country. It's available in aluminum or carbon, but that's about all I know. I've not seen one in person.

Jennings made the carbon extreme early 90's.

Yes Jennings Made this bow In fact I have one and I call it my vegas bow because of all the neon. I is Adjustable from 25-45 lbs and has a draw lenth of 26 inches.

I have a Jennings Carbon Extreme that I purchased back in the mid 90s.
It is rated for 80 lbs.
I got this bow when Dan Fitzgerald and others were spouting heavy poundage and Muzzy broadheads was the way to go to get pass thru shots.
The bow was hard enough for me to pull ten years ago and now that I,ve hurt myself and pulled many back muscles along with some arthritis, I have let it down to sixty lbs. (I,m still trying to recover from another incedent).
Everyone who has ever pulled this bow has had difficulty breaking it over even when let down to the lighter weights.
Now - - - That being said, at 65 lbs this thing is as fast as lightning.
I can get away with two pins set at 20 and 40 yards and they are still very close together.
It's a fine bow and I have no intention of getting rid of it BUT, I've pulled a Mathews set at 70 lbs. and it's like my Jennings set at 50 lbs. (Things have come a long way in 10 years)
The Doctors say I have arthritis in my lower back and hip joints so if I want to continue to hunt with a compound bow and not a crossbow, I have to update.
I'm still searching.
The nearest Bear/Jennings dealer is in Millington Tenn. and that is several hours away so I just havn't gotten around to making the trip yet.
Darton makes an excellent bow that is as easy to pull as the Mathews but I'm not giving up on Bear/Jennings yet.
My first bow was a Bear Polar 2
My next bow was a Bear whitetail 2
Then I got the Jennings.
You have a good bow there.
Good luck.

I bought the Cabelas version of this bow back in the early 90's, seems like maybe 90-91, may have been the first year Cabelas sold it. It is called the Cabelas "Power Supreme". It has the same riser/limbs with a slightly different shape cams/wheels. I second everything that Arkansas Hawk said about this bow. I had mine set at about 65# pull which was as far as I could go and still shoot at off-angles. It loads up very quickly and has a very noticeable let-off (I had mine at 65% letoff).
I actually shot mine so much that I hurt my shoulder tendon to a point where I never shot it again. (not blaming the bow- I think I cranked it up to much too fast for my arm/shoulder to adapt to that weight curve-) --It was very different from my previous bow. I don't remember the arrow speed but I remember being told by the pro-shop dude that it was shooting faster than other bows anywhere near that pull wt. I was able to use slightly shorter arrows than my old bow because of the riser design which helped, but really, that bow is a real arrow slinger- no question about it! If I had it to do over again I would have gotten the lower pull wt version of that same bow...no way I could ever pull that thing at 80#, and bows shoot best when they are cranked up to max pull wt. My bow was shooting fast enough that I was only using one pin for hunting distances-maxing out to about 25 yard shots...then I messed up my dang shoulder! shame on me! I'm 46 now and looking at my bow right now, and thinking about getting it re-setup for a lower wt and shooting again.....boy this brings back memories! (and boy my shoulder is telling me to be carefull!)
Overall- yes it is a great bow , a REAL slinger. just have to build up your muscles/joints to handle it.
