Never heard of these before. Good bang for the buck? Looking to keep something sub$1000. Any other recs?

I bought one new about thirty years ago and had an overdraw installed. Yes, the broadhead came back past the wrist that was holding the bow. It was the fastest bow out there at the time. The boys on Southern U podcast shoot Darton and say good things.

I killed my first deer with a Darton bow about 40 years ago… they have come a long way.

Chad I’ll be able to tell you a lot more about them in a week my family just went and got me one for my birthday yesterday. Once I get it set up and shooting I can weigh in.

I have a friend that has been shooting one this year and loves it.

I suspect you are asking because they are sold in Covington. I have a lot of faith in Ronnie there and if he likes them I think they are probably great.

The new dartons are highly regarded and tunable without a bow press.

Been around for 75 years and the 2nd oldest bow company behind Bear. Very respectable bows.
