I have been a long-time Darton fan, and the Viper that I have is still a good performer and very easy to shoot well. Now that I have a Darton that is very quiet and shock/recoil free to go along with the smooth draw and good performance (the Tundra), I really feel that I have found another great bow from Darton that I will have for a long time.
That said, I couldn't resist the opportunity to get another Bowtech. I have an unfired 2002 Pro 40 I-cam model coming. I really preferred the heavier, older Bowtech riser of my Pro 38 DC to the newer, lighter "03 Pro 40 Wheely. I think it should be a good bow for me considering the way the '01 Pro 38 shot.
I have owned bows by Mathews, Hoyt, High Country, Pearson, McPherson, Merlin, Newberry, Bear, Jennings, Golden Eagle, York, and Continental. (I've been at this for a while and am plagued by curiosity![&:])
Darton and Bowtech are definitely my favorite companies.
