Let me scrape a couple layers of mud and blood off it and I'll see how old it is.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Not really... I purchased a Darton a couple years ago to replace a 7 year old PSE. Before that I had hunted nearly 20 years with the same PSE Lazer Magnum. The Darton could have as many notches in it as the Lazer Magnum in another year or two.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> If I delighted in having the oldest I'd buy another recurve.
