Darton Compound Bows
Quick History
Darton is a name that almost anyone, who has been shooting for 20 years or more, recognizes as top of the line bow manufacture of the days of old. However, many of today's beginning archers have never heard of the brand Darton. Despite the fact they have continued to produce a high quality product for today's shooters. Darton was founded in 1950 originally as a division of a company manufacturing leather goods for mill workers. In 2011 Darton is spending some dollars on advertising and sponsoring in hopes to bring their name back to the top with other manufactures putting out high quality archery equipment. read more 86 models

About Darton
Darton Technologies
Eccentric Systems - Darton's Rex Darlington is responsible for all the Hybrid Cam systems we see today, he invented it. One of the most popular was the CPS-G2-2 1/2 Cam system. This system was the first to conquer the timing issues traditionally associated dual cams.Limbs - Today all of Darton's top end bows feature beyond parallel, pre-stressed, split limbs to optimize performance and produce accurate shots each and every time. The more affordable models feature single limbs but are still consistent and accurate.
Risers - Darton CNC machines 6061-T6 Aluminum to create its risers. They are designed to be strong and lightweight so the shooter has consistency shot after shot but also can be comfortably carried to the tree stand or on a spot and stalk hunt.
