Pros
Pros
- Genuine 345-350 IBO speed that holds up on a chronograph, not just on the spec sheet, even across full hunting setups
- Draws smoother than a 6-inch brace height has any right to - the "muscle bow with manners" name is earned
- Draw length changes by hand with no bow press - swap the module, no trip to the shop
- Quiet shot with very little hand shock, settling dead in the hand with the factory string suppression
- Solid, holdable back wall and a stable full-draw feel that shoots more forgiving than its short brace suggests
- Short valley typical of a speed bow - the back wall is firm, so staying engaged against it keeps you off any creep
- Darton's thin dealer network makes one hard to try in person - ordering through its online dealers, helped by no-press draw changes, sidesteps most of that
