Darton
Another company that I feel has taken a step back. Their motto is "Say goodbye to old technology" but what the heck is that yoke device on the cables. I haven't seen anything like that in 10 years. The stand out of the Pro series is very fast and from what I understand smooth and shock free, but again only sports a 6 1/4" brace. I also would like to see what this company can do with a true binary cam. (Fanboys, they patented the name, not the technology).
I think most of your post was spot on except for the Darton quote. Don't know if you have studied what exactly that yoke device does, but it is a binary type design that now has dual take up tracks and allows for a yoke system to prevent cam lean instead of only being attached to one side of the cam. Thisyoke allows you to eliminate all the cam lean/limb twist problems that have been associated with the other binary designs in the past. It is actually quite a good idea and works very very well.........it actually works the same as a floating yolk on a hoyt but applies that proven technology to a binary cam system. All the problems that scare some people away frombinaries....i.e. cam lean and limb twist, whatever you want to call it, are gone with Darton's design. I am speaking as someone that is in no way associated with Darton, but on paper it appears that design is the next best thing to a shootthrough cam system.
The pro 2000 is about as fast as anything else out there right now except for the true speed bows and has a bit more forgiving specs for those that are intimidated by a lower brace height. Their speed specs are usually spot on too, unlike a lot of other manufacturers. The Pro 2000 is 34.5", and 7.25" brace, and is rated at a real world 320fps.
