WELL IT IS NICE TO KNOW ABOUT HOW OLD YOU ARE BUT DOESN'T HELP ME WITH MY QUESTIONS, I HAVE RUGER RIFLES MMUCH, MUCH OLDER AND THEY STILL WORK WELL
what model he asked you.... then we can help the helpless.[;)][:0][:D][:D]
I had a Darton about 20 yrs ago and it was a good bow. That being said the newer ones have a lot more to offer as in the let-off %, speed, queitness, and smoothness. IMHO You could almost spend as much on new sights, rest, and quiver for it than you would spend on a newer bow.
NOT LONG AGO SOMEONE IN A BOW SHOP OFFERD TO TRADE ME A NEW BOW FOR IT
HE DIDN'T SAY WHAT KIND OF BOW (MIGHT HAVE BEN A FIDDLE BOW) I WILL LOOK FOR THE MODEL #
I AM SORRY, I WILL HAVE TO CK ON THE MODEL # (IF ITS STILL THERE)

HE DIDN'T SAY WHAT KIND OF BOW (MIGHT HAVE BEN A FIDDLE BOW) I WILL LOOK FOR THE MODEL # Yea thats real important some bows were real good and others well ho hum just like guns. let us know what ya got and we will tell ya what its worth. Dont get your hopes up most old compound bows just get hung on the wall resale is next to nothing. welcome to the jungle[;)]
Resale on almost every compound bow is miniscule. Let alone one that is almost 30 years old. There is not enough collector value in them to command much of a price.
Ben
it is so nice to be in the company of such a smart induvidual. should i learn to quote what every one else says also. i can take it to the swap meat to find out what is WORTH. what i really wanted to know, has any one heard of DARTON BOWS
No I have never heard of a darton bow? I have only owned three Ok here it is. you sound kinda ungreatful to folks that are trying to help you. OK heres you.. I have a 1972 dodge have you ever heard of one. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [;)]
Darton = mosberg mathews = binelli get the picture ding dong.[:D][:D]
what i really wanted to know, has any one heard of DARTON BOWS
Yes.[:D]
as far as the dodge goes a 72 was the 2nd new car i bought, can you say hemi little boy?sorry i didn't bend at the waste when i was told to. i am sorry also that i have more to do than set and play with
duckyboy to make him feel like a grown person ding dong.
fishermanben i am glad you are here it does seem that maby their are
some people that are intrested in conversation, i don't plan to make a living with the bow just wanted some insite, thank you
As far as I can tell, you asked in the first ? to tell you about a darton bow and was wanting to know what we thought about "new sights and stuff". That was answered. You didn't say "anyone heard of one. When one asks a ? they usually want an answer. If you take it that we answered your ? and now we are "TRYING" to show you that we know more than anyone else well that is just a mystery to me. So go ahead and "bend at the waste" as you put it and place your Darton there.
Cheif I think one of our own is messing around..... I love it[:D][:D][:D][8D] bend at the waist.[:D][:D][:D]

I just noticed that I copied what he said and also spelled "waste"
wrong. If it someone messing around, you got me going. If not you he can still "bend at the waist"
this is a legit guy, with a legit question.
Ben

why would you not do a google search on darton bows or contact darton you can get all the information you want. as long as you can provide the necessary information for folks to answer your questions in a educational manner.[;)]It looks like darton did not enter the market till the early 80's heres a site that will answer your questions..... oh yea try not to critize the site.www.archeryhistory.com/quivers/quivers.htm - 1k
YOU GUYS ARE SO EASY HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

second of all i bought the bow in 73-74, so that lets out your fact that Darton came on the market in the 80s
third of all some where people are getting the idea that i am running
from some one, i may run at you but never ever from.
first of all i did not critze the site only the sitees

You would have been better off putting down the site rather than the people here.
Bang answered one of your questions in his first response.. you asked if anyone here was that old and he said he was. You then came back with a smart remark.
I even emailed you to let you know that the guys here just like to joke around alot and you came BACK with another insult to the people here.
Think of the archery side as a pack... we protect/support eachother.
but no one should joke around with them because they, being only dukyboy are above all else.
if i have offended anyone other than dukyboy i sinserly apolize.
oh now i understand the guys here can say what they please,
but no one should joke around with them because they, being only dukyboy are above all else.

you need to tread lighter while on unfamiliar ground. You insulted several people here not just Buckey. Heck Buckey even welcomed you. You asked a question and then get pissed when others know the answer and say they are acting like they know more. Good Lord man get a grip and spell check.
Rex, this is a good group with good intentions, and Buckey is our friend.
I believe that gagirl is right when she says that you should "tread lighter while on unfamiliar ground".
Nobody is trying to run anybody off. I gave buckey a hard time in the past with "new handle", and although you think he may be giving you a hard time, it is really more directed at myself.
Welcome to the forum.
Feel free to repost this or any other question that you might have.
If you're trying to get back into archery, these people can give you great recommendations on how to do it cheaply.
