Looking at either the Hoyt Defiant 34 or the Elite Impulse 34, any recommendations

I have hunted with the Hoyt Carbon Defiant 34 for three years and have loved it. I’m not just saying this because it just so happens that I’m selling one . I’ve taken black bear, multiple Whitetails, and believe it or not a few groundhogs. It’s a great durable bow since they came out with the carbon. My guide in Namibia with @Khomashighlandhuntingsafaris (Errans) got me interested when he showed me a YouTube video of their “stress test”(ran over it with a full size truck and dry fired it several times and still shot it with no issues). I found it to be a great bow for rugged terrain hunts. It’s definitely designed for the backwoods “Cameron Hanes” style hunts. It also has been a very accurate bow as I used to group at 60+ yards with it as long as I did what I was supposed to do(proper form, back tension, etc). It runs well with a heavy arrow set up and is great for tougher game

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
