Holy Darton!!!
Got to shoot a bunch of the new 07 Dartons tonight and all I can say is WOW. I shot the AS100, which has a 27 3/4" ATA and a 6 3/4 brace. This bow was smooth, had a nice draw cycle, and was excellent feeling in the hand. Since it is so small, they built it heavy, to give it additional stability. When I walked in, someone was shooting it, and my jaw dropped at how quiet it was. I am talking quiet quiet here boys, unlike any quiet I have heard before...I was amazed. I shot it, and was very impressed. Smooth in the hand with a nice clean draw cycle and a really nice valley.
Shot the Pro3000 as well. It is 34 1/2" ATA and a 6 1/4 brace. I didnt get to put it through the chrono, but I heard rumors of 301@ 27" @63#, I could not verify this though (This is my DL, that is why I was interested in those numbers not IBO. IBO is 330+). When I shot this bow, I was expecting all sorts of crazy things to happen. I have never show a short brace bow.Ishot it, and again my jaw dropped. It wasas smooth as myTempest, andquieter!!! It was just as quiet as the AS100. I shot it a bunch more times, and was very impressed.
Both bows are amazingly quiet, without an STS. Quieter than any Hoyt, Matthews, or Bowtech, at least inIMHO.
I am going to wait for them to come out with the 1/2" mods for the AS3000, then I will place my order.
Just thouht I would share.
If people want I can scan in the product catalogue since their website isnt updated yet.

RE: Holy Darton!!!
There kind of slow getting the 07's out. What's the hold up? It's already Feb. and Keystone country store still doesn't have them. I don't think this is good.
I know how things are taken on the net and this in no way is a slam on Darton's, more like a poke in the ribs to get them moving. I'd like one myself.
