My dad has shot a Darton for years. His bow is so old, all I know is that is a Darton. It has all original equipment, save the string and cables, and has held up very well. He has shot this thing, oh, I don't know, a million times probably in the last 15 years. Only reason he even retired it is I bought a new bow, and he shoots my "old" bow. He was very happy with his Darton.
