Default RE: Thoughts on the Darton Great Lakes Impact

"The trigger has a slight take-up but breaks clean at 4.3 pounds according to my Lyman digital trigger pull gauge. This isn't terrible but it's not great either. It is the one feature of the bow that took me the longest to get use too and it does require concentration on proper shooting form.

Due to the trigger and stock design, the saftey is also located forward on the barrel which can be awkward. I've had two people reach over the top and through the string to take the saftey off. So if you have one of thes xbows, you have to make sure you pay particular attention to safe handling procedures."

I shot theLightning and the Storm at the ATA show and thought the exact same thing except the triggers on the ones Ishot had a TON of creep though were actually pretty good once you gotonto the sear. The safety location was a big one for me and IMO could really use some work. Other than that they are very well built and perform very well
