    Anybody out there shoot a Darton bow? Dartons are made in Wisconsin and were good bows when I bought mine. Ideler cams were just coming out about 9 years ago and I had a PSE at that time. I traded that and some cash for a new Darton Maverick solo cam because I read an article that said at that time it had the straighest knock travel of any bow up to that point so I decided on that one. A couple guys had been shooting Dartons and I liked the way they shot and handeled so I ordered one. When I got my bow I tricked it out with all the latest sights-hoyt brass pins, etc. I shot it for 5 years and I had it dialed in where if I was off that night or at 3-d’s I didn’t have to question the bow I could count on it to bring me back into accuracy. Im Wondering if any body has or is considering a Darton bow, they were also top of the line the last I heard. The pro 3500S shoots at 343′ a sec. http://www.darton/bows.com

    Darton has and still do make some fine bows Dan…But they have been manufactured in Hale, MI (my home state) since the 1950s when they were making recurve bows. They make parts for several of the top bows of today including Hoyt.

    Maybe you were thinking Hales Corners, WI?

    Darton has always made a bow for the hunter. Very good and reliable bow. If u like it and the bow fits u and ur needs go with it.The biggest thing about a bow it has to fit the shooter.But ye a quality bow by all means.
