    Bearing in mind I'm a newbie to all of this and what research I've done, has revolved around what I've seen on the uTubery, which is all 'merican, primarily.

    So if you're interested in my humble opinions, then - https://www.ek-archery.com

    Netherlands based it seems, the bows look like they follow the looks and styles of the other manufacturers like PSE and so on.

    If it were me, I'd prolly look at the EXTERMINATOR for hunting and the AXIS for target. https://www.ek-archery.com/product/2 the REX looks like a smaller bow, for youth and ladies?

    But then I'm not going to be a target shooter so, I'm unqualified to say, just that a longer riser should be more accurate, but more easily tangled up in the Manuka.

    Pricing? not sure where to buy.

    This guy from Straya https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwT...wMzlIqwSrV8Mrg seems to do a 30 minute review of most every bow, I don't know if he's done EK, but after watching 10 or so of his vids, I got an idea of what to look for and think about in a bow. He can be a little whingey stryne, sometimes, but his overall knowledge is good and I've found him very useful.

    "I do have some of those dinky shrink wrap arrow wraps, @ 13gr each, so I may put one of those on each of the 6 from set C,"

    note: I tried one of those shrink wraps and I'm not impressed, it looks like Nora Batty's stockings.

    I know I can get different weighted inserts online, but I'm thinking a couple of small washers, of the right dimensions, will do the job of raising the overall weight and FOC of the arrows.
