4 Laminated Limbs Laminated Hard Maple and Unidirectional Fiberglass make up this light durable I'imb. Darton's Pro series bows have an additional lamination of Bias Ply Graphite to the Hard Maple and Unidirectional Fiber glass. This bias-ply graphite material takes torsional stability to the point of perfection, the result is the most stable, accurate limb in archery.

Laminated Recurve Limbs Laminated Hard Maple with two layers of Red fiberglass and in turn two more layers of black glass make this the optimum recurve limb construction.

Solid Fiberglass Limbs The one piece configuration provides excellent stability, flexural strength and speed. In addition, our fiber glass limbs display increased performance with a shorter limb length, for better manuverabilty.

Eccentric Wheels

High Energy Wheels

High Energy Cam

Our Alloy Eccentr,ic Wheels provide unequalled smooth, easy draw. With 50% let-off our eccentric Wheels remain a preferred wheel by many seasoned bowmen.

Alloy and Molded High Energy Wheels are modified cams that combine the greater speed of our full cams with the smooth draw of our round Eccentric Wheels to provide optimum efficiency and performance. Bows made with our Molded High Energy Wheels have 60% let-off elements, with 45% let-off elements available as an accessory. Bows built with Alloy High Energy Wheels have 65% let-off elements with 55% and 45% let-off elements available as accessories .

The Alloy MARK I High Energy full Cam retains maximum stored energy by pulling near peak draw weight over a greater draw length. This is illustrated by the draw force curves on our graph. The greater the area under the draw force curve, the greater the stored energy. Stored energy is a major factor in producing the record setting arrow velocities of our 60MC. Our Mark I Cam has 50% let-off. TYPICAL DRAW FORCE CURVE! 60r--r~~~~~~~

5 1 RISERS

4SK Riser Bows built on this riser are outstanding for the novice archer. Most anyone can pull a 20MX or 30MX right out of its box and shoot without spending the time it takes to tune most bows.

SSK Riser The geometry of this riser has been enhanced this year by providing for complete broad足 head and fletching clearance through the sight window . In addition, an optional center足 shot hole located closer to the string makes it possible to use shorter arrows contributing to increased arrow velocity . The

optional center-shot hole also offers an ideal location to mount accessories more rigid . The 55K provides for a shorl maneuverable full feature bow.

60K Riser The geometry of the 60K places greater "Mass Forward" from the hand position grip. This feature contri butes to the excellent balance, stability and performance of this riser. The Mass Forward geometry and seven inch window are what make the 60K our finest Riser.

Wooden Riser For the archer who prefers look and feel of natural wood. We

lam inate 21 pieces of the finest hard maple and carve out a riser that displays the color and beauty found only in natural wood. The unique shape of the sight window allows for com足 plete broad head and fletching clearance . Each 300WX and 600WX has wood tones and grain patterns unique to that bow.
