Lightning 500MC Simply put, the Lightning pro­ duces awesome performance.

The Magnesium Fast Flight Mark IF·\( Cam marks the most out­ standing feature of this im­ proved record breaker. Arrow velocities attained with the Lightning are unequalled. Rating Velocity at 50 % let-off is an im ­ pressive 240 fps. 1990 marked the second year the Lightning has won the International Bowhunring Organization's "Fastest Bow Competition."

The Lightning's success is par­ tially due to the Mark IpM Cam's ability to load the limbs with considerable stored energy. The 60k riser's mass forward design maximizes the bow's power stroke while delivering balance and stability. The Riser offers ample offset for an overdraw and features Darton's Dual-slot integrated overdraw mounting system. This system allows the archer to utilize Darton's Z-Max Overdraw for positive posirion­ ing. The limbs are shaped from solid Power-'Iuff?' .

The Lightning has proven to be the flattest and fastest shoot­ ing production bow in archery.
