Drew I just replied to your other post and want to say I love my Darton Maverick Express. I am so much more accurate with this bow and anything I have ever shot. YOu really need to shoot one and see what all the fuss is over. It really is hard to just type about the virtues of Darton Maverick so You will have to go out and try one and then you will see what we all love about these bows. I was in the market for a Hoyt Vortec but my pro shop owner was trying to get me to shoot the Darton but I said No I want the Hoyt Vortec so He told me nope can't buy one here till you shoot the Darton Maverick first so I said set it up so I can shut him up and get the vortec that I wanted. Well It took me only about 1.5 hours in the shooting range as I just lost time because it was a joy to shoot and didn;t want to put down. So I went to the owner and said set me up with the Darton Maverick. He could of sold me the Vortec for more money but he believes in the Darton so much he just wanted me to try this one first before I bought any other bow first. If this is not a statement I don't know what is. Well good luck

Drew, I bought a Darton Maverick with recurve limbs in '98. Thumbing through all of those Matthews ads each time I pick up a hunting magazine can really work on one's mind and get one thinking they need to have a new bow. I have a buddy who just purchased a Matthews Q2 somewhat regretably after a lot of pressure from the archery shop salesman who is a Matthews fanatic. Not that Matthews is lesser quality or performance, but my buddy still thinks my Maverick draws smoother and is actually quieter than his new Matthews. I did slap on Sims Limb Savers with excellent results. Good luck.

I started shooting Darton about ten years or so ago and have been shooting them since. I still have my original Viper and in '98 bought a Maverick. Out of curiosity I always pick up bows in shops to see if any of the fast ones can match the smooth draw of the CPS and no one has been close. Mine really smokes (of course I have a 31-inch draw length) and I can shoot it accurately. Either there is way too much hype about the lower brace height bows or the Maverick is just an exception.

How long has darton had the c/p/s cam system?

I just picked up a used Maverick Quad. It has a lot lower brace hight than I wanted, but the guy offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. Even with a 5 3\4" brace I seam to shoot better with it than my old bow,(league average 280). Even with bare limbs, it's not much louder than my Hoyt either. I'm loking forward to seeing how this bow will do.

I have a darton Mountain bow that I use for a back-up bow . Shoots good .
