peed and performance elevate the Lightning to the highest AMO Arrow Velocity Rat ings of 240 + feet per second for five straight years!

Finger shoo ters delight in the Lightn ing 's 44 1/ 1" axle-to -axle, and the so lid wall the Lightning reaches at full dra w. O utfit the Lightning's Mark II Cams with 50 l k Let-off ele me nts for optimum spee d and a d ean release. T he Lightning 's success is partl y due to the Mark II Cam 's abil ity to load the spec ially des igned Lightn ing limb s for maximum stored energy . All Mark II Ca ms have per formance needle bearings for decrea sed ax le friction and increase d speed. The Lightning is offere d with 60% Let-off clement s standard. SOCk, Let-off elements are ava ilable as an op tion. Darton's redesigned T rophy Series handles have a set-back gri p which maxim izes the Lightning's long power stroke, high stored e nergy and high speed without sac rificing comfort and shoot足 ahility. The new handle makes the Lightnin g look better , feel better and shoot better.

Darton 's limb design , magnesium Mark II Cam perform ance, and our redesig ned handles make the Lightnin g 's co mfo rtable fee and outstanding performan ce untouchable.


COMPOSITE SD Mark IIPerformance Cam 'rn enthusiastic about this new Impulse that Darton has brought to the market. I have seen quite a few t-O-................ lady archers who have had to com­ pete with the significant handicap inherent in arrow s with high traje ctory. The Impulse is a potent solution to their frustration. It is not only a very fast bow, it is also pleasant to shoot, ea sy to tote , attractively finished , and built with a high degree of qual ity." Norb Mullan ey. Jul y 1993, Bowhunting World. The Impulse with Darton' s special FlexPower Gla ss Composite Limbs and Short Draw SO

Mark II Cams was introduced in 1993 due to the demand of women 3-D shooters. They wanted a "Woman 's Lightning" and Darton delivered the Impul se. The Impul se features Darton's rede signed Troph y Series Handle , Magnesium SO Mark II Performance Cam s, and new performance Flex ­ Power Gla ss Composite Limb s for 1994. Th e Impulse is avai lable in: • Competition Green • Competition Wild Cherry ompetition Teal

" I bought an Impulse SO Mark II Cam 3-0 bow in February 93. As of July 93. I have 19 plaques. trophies and awards. and now my 3- 0 sco res are hard (0 beat. My Impul se at 60 Ibs. and 26.5" draw is achieving 279 fps . This is the only bow a woman should be shoot ing. " Jenniffer Bondurant , Team Darton Shooter.


GRAPHITE Redesigned Magnesium Handle n my opinion, these Viper bows incor­ porate outstanding design and con­ L -_ _......J struction. As you con sider the design clement by element, you have to be impre ssed with the thoughtful development and careful exe cution that went into these products." Norb Mullaney, July 1992, Bowhunting World.

The Viper Graphite was given an 80.5 % Efficiency Rating" at AMO Stand ards-one of the highest Effici ency Ratings given to any bow in any Independent Bow Test. "With the very efficient cam design and the low hysterisis inherent in the Viper, coupled with the respons e of the graphite- fiber reinforced limbs, this bow takes off without delay , extracting maximum energy from the power r '" strok e."
