Well i was at the r100 shoot in michigan this weekend and won the steel challenge and have a free darton bow on the way to my house as we speak!! Anybody have experience with Darton bows? This works out great cause it gives me something to play with when my onza is on its way to washington.
I shot Dartons a few years ago........the bows they are making today are very fast, nice bows!
Ya i shot one at there booth and it had a little vibration and a hard drawing cam but it definatly was fast and accurate.Quote:

A few months later I picked up a DS 2500, I think. Loved it, but the same pain returned. All I can figure is that something about the draw cycle, or how I draw just didn't work with them. I've never experienced the same strain before or since. Great bows, but they didn't like me.
Which model did you win?
Im not sure yet its a suprise:cool: But from what ive heard its gonna be a new older model they asked me what draw length and weight i wanted i figure i wouldnt ask what kind it was to keep the suspense up a little but its being shipped from here in michigan so it should arive this week i would think. Scott from darton called me early this morning to verify what dw and dl i wanted cause he wanted to get the bow out asap!Quote:

Love my Darton, have had it since 1972, still looks as good as the night I got her! Of course I'm talking about a 60" 48# @ 28" Darton Fury recurve.
