    What one?

    After those in the know, opinion on what bow?

    Hoyt Powermax or Elite Kure. Have an option on both so was after some opinions on each before I make a decision. Both in good condition and similar age. I'll mainly be using for targets for the meantime as I get used to a bow. I'll be taking what one I choose to Paddy Long for a tune and set up.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you are going to get Paddy to help you I would ask his advice, one of them might be easier for him to work on.

    My take from the vids is the Kure is the top Elite bow for 2020 whereas the Powermax is a mid-line Hoyt bow. Mathew out at Arrowhead archery in Darfield is an Elite stockist if you want to go that way but Paddy isn’t so keen on them.

    Also once you have it sorted Canterbury Archers is worth a look. 29 3d targets from 15-65 yards scattered through bush out by living springs. Takes a few hours to walk around. It’s good fun and really good practice. Sundays from 10am
