I just bought a Darton Maverick this past week. So far I love it; it's very light, very fast, and was about $170 less than the Mathews and Bowtech bows I was looking at (it shot better for me than anything else I shot). What was funny was that both Darton dealers I went to also sold Hoyt, PSE, and Bowtech. The shop owners shot Darton in both stores, and neither pushed me towards the more expensive brands even though I came in looking at those bows. The way I look at it, I got the whole set-up with the Darton for what the other bows would cost bare.
