Another shout for PSE, as I used to shoot them for target competitions.

Whilst I can vouch for their older models (2009-2018), which had a good range of interchangeable parts and spares, their newer stuff that is aimed at the higher end of the market does not fill me with the same degree of confidence. They were a family owned company for a long time but recently got sold.

Much like in the rifle world, what works now will continue working for a good long while, but the marketing guys don't like that, as they want people to buy new equipment EVERY year, not just when the old stuff is a bit tired and worn out.

As above, look for something with a rotating inner cam module so you can adjust the draw length. Maybe spend some time and money joining a local archery club and hiring a coach for a few sessions, as money spent on that is rarely money wasted. Often guys run out and grab a carbon bow and high end arrows which don't even fit them properly, get frustrated and sell it off, all within a year or so.

Cheers for the reply, Unfortunately no archery club in Oamaru and don't know anyone that shoots so looks like I'm going to havto venture this much like I had to do with reloading ammo.. YouTube & trail and error... I'll keep my eye out on A good second hand bow aswell. Yeah unless they have reinventing the wheel with some crazy advance in tech, I'm not worried about keeping up with the latest and greatest.
