Polkey 70 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I used to have a mk3m and have been using a mk1 this season for the first time and whilst the mk1 is ok i much prefer the mk3m and will be getting another one for next season and selling/ swapping the mk1. I just prefer the leds and general feel of the mk3m, never had any problems with accuracy either. Quote Link to post

Sirius 1,391 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 They are good enough, but not as good as they could be, but DEBEN have the monopoly. 2ft is rarly 2ft on my box more like 1ft, better that way than the other way round. Quote Link to post
