Thanks guys. Hopefully I'll get some more input. I've shot a Darton for 12 yrs. now and am way over due for a new bow. I got the green light to get a new bow Sat. night from the wife,.... while we were boozing it up at a wedding reception. I guess I took advantage of the situation. Anyway, for now I can't get too fancy or go with any thing in the higher price range. Just looking to get some quality stuff for a decent price. Who knows, it might be another 12 yrs before I get another new bow. Hey Moonge, other than the GK Tranquilizer(stabilizer) did you use any other type of equipment to keep the bow quiet?
