Just curious, does anyone have any opinions on Darton crossbows?

No, I'm not thinking of buying one, but I was wondering how they compare to Excals or Tenpoints in terms of quality.

Darton always built a rugged low maintance bow so they will most likely build a fine xbow.
I met a man coming out of the woods with a Desert Stryker and it put my Vortex to shame in speed , size and quietness BUT first before his demonstration he had to pick out all the goldenrod stems from those four wheels. I asked him what would have happened if he would have shot it that way and he replied that any wheel bow may blow with a stick in the wheel crevice. He says he's been there before

I sell them in my store in Ga. And thay are good bows. Like tuskntine said thay are a little on the heavy side, i think all compound crossbows are. (GUESS) But one thing forshore it's not an Ecalibur.

I took a few shots with a Great Lakes once at an archery range. Didn't know they were made by Darton. It had a bull-pup style stock, seemed ruggedly built and was FAST. But I can't comment on the accuracy because I could not get used to the heavy trigger pull, as compared to my Exocet.
