I had a Darton Maverick Recurve C/P/S and i must say; its one of the most amazing bows i have ever had. The grip alone was a dream! The bow was fast, quiet, smoot and trustable. Allthough i shoot Mathews due to a sponsership now, I will allways recommend this company as one to consider very much when someone is intrested in a new bow. From my opinion this brand should be in the top with Mathews and Bowtech. (I am NOT a hoyt fan)
