Welcome to the world of Darton.

Looken good..
Question - your writeup says "no" on the limb saver.  But in your pictures, the big limb savers are in place about midway up the limbs, though I don't know the brand..!

Mike,

I picked those specs off the web. The LTD I got came with them from Darton.

They look like Limbsaver Superquads.  They are what I have on my vert Frankenbow.

[cur_dog]

Correct, they are Linbsaver

[Arrowhead]

cNice looking bows. They shoot amazing too!
