hey the bow I'm looking at getting's an older darton trail cp4 left hand. just wondering what if anything people can tell me about it. it comes with a cobra release, arm guard, bout 5 arrows, from the picture he sent it has silencers on the string. he's asking $150 for it. sounds good to me but I'm still new to all this. can't find much online about it except it's probably bout 10 years old. don't know the ibo speed but it's rated at a 60 - 70 lb with 75-80 % let off. what do you think for a starter bow? (it is in my price range)

way I look at it a lot of ppl shoot re curves and shoot 55-58 lbs and shoot everything from moose and smaller so I don't see the bow having any trouble as long as it fits your draw length and you are comfy with the weight but this just my view on bows

yea it says the draw length is 27 to 31 and from what I can tell I'm about 28-29 (going by measuring between fingertips then dividing by 2.5) so it should fit fine. it is a nice looking bow. plus I haven't found a single bad review about darton bows. seem to be pretty popular.
think I'm gonna go for it.

that would be fun. have to look into that. rebel (matt) lives across the road from me and has a nice big yard and a nice big barn too (for bad weather) so it'll be a decent spot to go shooting
