well Thanks to Mrs 5 shot, and a lot of begging I got to get me a new deer slayer this year! I looked at and have shot just about everything out their, along with that I have read every post on every bow on this board! With all this information, and considering what I felt was important for me in a bow, I layed down the cash for a Darton Rampage. It was a tough choice between it and the Mavrick recurve, It took about an hour in the shop! The Rampage had a little more brace height, and was a little heavier, but was also a bit slower, but I felt it had a touch less bow jump and hand shock. I was suprised at how it just sat in my hand after the shot, All I had was a stabilizer, no limb savers or anything else. The Dartons draw so smooth it is unreal, almost like a soft two cam bow. I won't go on and on, and I am not saying Darton has the bow for you, but I will say that if you don't check them out before you buy a new bow you are making a mistake. They are very ajustable, smooth, fast, steady in the hand, and very little recoil or hand shock. My rampage may be a tad louder than those mathews, but Limbavers and sting whiskers will take care of it. Besides I go 2 count them 2 hats, of course they had the proshop name on them. LOL If anyone lives in Virginia and wants to check out a Darton at a great PRO shop, email me and I will set you set you up. I had to drive 2 1/2 hours to the shop, but it was well worth it for the service I got! Now I must go play.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
