I cant help you out with any info but I've shot Darton bows for years and I'm a big fan of Darton

when I was looking to buy a crossbow Darton was right at the top of the list of brands I was looking at, one of the local shops here has a line of them and although Ididntshootany I did handle all of them, they were nice crossbows and seemed like a pretty high quality setup, I just couldnt justify the $700 plus price tag they wanted just for the bare bow
