I love their smooth draw, and for ME the grip works great and promotes great accuracy. (Whether the grip works for YOU is a matter of trying it out yourself.)

One downside for Dartons is a sharp bend on the bottom cam that causes rapid serving separation and wear about 4" from the bottom of the power cable. You'll need to keep an eye on it or it'll blow like one did on me at 4,000 shots.

I've got an older Mag 33 and it draws and shoots very good. It is my backup to my Pearson but shoot both bows about the same and would not hesitate to carry the Darton to the woods.The Darton is a little bit noisier but not to much. As said just use the limbsavers etc to quieten it down a bit.

BTM, what Darton model do you have? I've had my Tundra for close to 2 years with factory string and cables. The power cable coming off the bottom cam looks almost like new. No separation, no wear.

Hey india if the don't let u test drive it...walk away. don't buy it if you can't shoot it. Plenty others will let you shoot.

My first and still my first..is a DARTON MX-60 killed plenty of deer, elk, hogs, bear.. this is the year it will finally be retired..first choice will be another...

First of all I would like to say I am not trying to sell any type of bow and do not own or am I associated with any archery business.I have a 05 switchback and a tribute bowtech so I dont shoot this brand of bow.Martin makes a saber.Ever now and then someone makes a really good bow for a good price and this is it in the 325 to 350 range.It has parrallel limbs and that means alot on vib and quiteness.Most of your cheaper bows are not parrallel.All your high dollar range are. Just a thought it is a good bow for the bucks
