80% of Bow Hunters dont need anything more than this has to offer...well done Darton

I’m new to archery. Walked into local shop asked what best bang for the buck was. They showed me this. I shot it twice and said I’ll take it :) really love it 🙌🏼

Probably the closest to IBO of all the bows you tested for 2024. At $699, that's a great pick up for someone wanting to get into the sport but don't want to break the bank. Well done Darton!

Darton taking it to the next level😊

My first compound bow, as a kid, was a Darton - aluminum riser, glass limbs, with centric wheels hanging off a bracket. Remember those days kiddies? Man, I'm getting old.

Well, thanks to MFJJ and the shop I did purchase the Darton. The comprehensive reviews especially from MFJJ are awesome as he speaks in a language that us dumb dumbs can understand as I am not an archer , I'm a hunter who wanted more opportunity and archery season helps that. I had a FrankenHoyt (Reflex and Hoyt parts)after my first bow purchase (reflex)was damaged , bought in about 2008, not saying it was a poor bow but this new technology is mind blowing. So about 27.5-28" draw length with a 415 grain arrow at 60lb draw gets me about 255 ft/sec , I have the 60-70lb version.I'm impressed with the ease of tuning and sighting in. The 60lbs pulls nicer than my previous set at 55lbs. Now, the compact size is the biggest asset for my needs as this will be a stand/blind/bush bow for chasing white tail so not carrying an ironing board up and down trees and trying to fit in a blind is actually quite important. I know going compact doesn't always get you premium performance but from my short time researching and little bit of use of this bow I have no worries about it performing for my needs.. Keep the info rolling, it does help us who are not bow savvy!

I can't wait to see your review of the new Bear Alaskan XT

I think I might call Darton and see if I can be a dealer.. This is the bow I need for this area. Everyone is struggling financially here in our area, and money is tight. Northerm Ontario, everything is expensive, gas, food you name it.

So between this and prime Ronan which takes the cake? I’ve learned so much from this guy I would just buy it from him he deserves my business. I can’t wait to start this sport.

Drew one at the store on the weekend, my current bow Reflex/Hoyt mix of parts after an accident and repair pulls hard apparently, is set at 55lbs, pulled the Darton , the salesman looks at me as I look at him and I have this look of amazement and say boy is that light and smooth, he says it ain't that light as I felt it was like 45lbs at the most , he says give me that and scales it, 58lbs , I was shocked but now i see why 70lb bows are easily pulled and smoothly to boot. I wasn't looking for a new bow but if a 60lb bow can feel like a 45lb bow I may have to buy. Also, this bow and others like it fill a massive need by hunters, as I don't want to be climbing a stand , tromping through willows , snow and ice , stopping to call, falling down , etc............ with a $2000 bow that you could easily damage.Some hunting styles really benefit from that short ATA also, especially in the sticks. If it puts the arrow in a vital zone within your ranges why do you need to spend thousands? Darton may get a new customer.

Would love to see you shoot this Darton at some Tac/outdoor shoots against your buddies with $1500 bows

So glad to see them coming back.

Been talk on the AT forums about limb failure issues. First batch with the issues was assembled with white grease and the newer limbs are assembled with red grease. I hope this isn’t a huge common issue because I bought this bow and I like it.

The scoring system has to be modified to give extra points to a bow that is this good, at this price. If not, the scoring system is not giving enough credit to overall value. Likewise, the scoring system should really penalize the carbon bows at extreme prices since those bows don't offer anything from a shootability standpoint their aluminum brethren don't provide.

Just wanted to say thanks for all your content been out of archery for a while and you guys have relighted a fire for me to get back into it !!!!

Okay just check out both videos reviews, so Im going with the Consequence. thanks for the review

Josh, review the Bear Alaskan XT next. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised for a $660 bow in a package. Plus, it's got a 33" axle-to-axle, which is right up your alley. I have one on order after working out the kinks on their Whitetail Maxx. This bow is shooting fantastic!!

I bet if you shot one more arrow you would have got 319 average. 1 ft off.. thats unheard of. Lancasters review showed some awesome speeds. What a great bow! Thanks Josh

Just purchased it today it is absolutely amazing feel when shooting ❤

I’m really glad you did a review on this bow. I’ve been looking at this bow as a backup to my Hoyt but have never shot Darton. They have some really nice patterns for this bow as well. Thanks!

Great video education, torn between the Darton and Alaska XT

The variance in the fps could be the whisker biscuit. Since it was close to the fps the manufacturer said it should be. Ive seen other videos showing it hit over the espected fps

A really nice overall package. Better in every regard than the mach30 this year. I’m not a fan of that brace height, 6.5” on that bow would have been perfect, but that’s a really solid offering from Darton. Well done on all their bows this year. At that price, will be hard to beat. 0 need for integrated gimmicks like pic mounts and rest mounts. Wish it had a back bar mount. 8 out 10 Darton!!!

Looks to me like it that is a hunters dream bow. I wish we had a local dealer.

I would like to see a side by side between this bow and Bear Alaskan XT

Bill peligrino in Colorado springs is killing it with this bow, both target and hunting, considering the shop he owns as well as past world champ that speaks volumes on this bow

My only critique of your videos is it would be nice to get a good close up view of the bow itself maybe against the whiteboard. Your lighting is a little dim and far too see the bow well. I know i can go online to set it but even a 3 second up and down view would be nice

Extremely excited for the release of your Universal draw board!!!🎉🎊🎆🎉🎊🎇🎉🎆!!! 👏👍👍👍👍

Darton may be my next bow. I need a good bow for my ground blind.

Another great review. The only thing I wish you would add is a let down on the bow. Like if you don't take the shot. I have a PSE and it will rip your arm off and pull you out of a tree stand. Thanks for double what you do.

Looks like a real sleeping giant... you looked stoked overall at the bow, if they release a 33/34 option in future could be even better. Thanks for your video

So in ur opinion, elite terrain vs darton consequence? What do u buy

I think the Alaskan xt does this and more and it’s cheaper, aside from maybe tuning wise and machined riser

I love 30" bows, what a value, darton is back!

I would suggest doing a review of the Obsession HB33 for a comparison of the price point bow.

Curios how the Alaskan XT stacks ups

I have been waiting on this bow. I'm going to trade my darton spectra e in for this one. It's really hard to be beat a Darton bow.

Really looking forward to the mid-priced bow market!

I’d like to see a video of best bows of the past decade. Maybe some used bow options

We going to get a review on the new one that just dropped

Come to Oklahoma and shoot the newest BIG 3d event. Over 100 targets. It's called Shot The 3D Experience! First event of 5 for the year is in tulsa in March!

Very, very impressive! Good bow, good review.

Do you offer a rth package to add on if one were to buy this bow? If not you should. They local bow shop has a package they sell with a quiver, sight, stabilizer, rest and release. For a newbie like me at would bet great too add onto this bow without me racking my brain over it.

Quick question, this bow looks intriguing. Lots of good stuff to like. I currently shoot an Elite Terrain, the bows share some common specs.,on your video on the terrain you talked about the vibration. Would you think that it is more than the Consequence? If so is that because of the longer ATA of the Terrain, or cam system, Terrain being a hybrid as opposed to a dual cam on the Consequence. Thanks. Tim

This or the Prime Ronin?? 🤔

Between this bow or the prime Ronan which would you pick?

For next year, I think there should be a category (up to 5 points added) for coming in under $1,000. Similar to Backyard, 1 point for every $100 under. Sure you miss out on “features”, but features cost money. The current system hurts budget bows with no way to rival a premium bow. True, a budget bow that was cheap but had a ton of features would rate very highly, but shouldn’t that be the manufacturers goal?

I know its not made anymore but I would be curious to see how the Mathews Tactic compared to this.

Josh, can you mention the available paint finishes of each bow during the reviews? Thnx

Fade to black bows by Mathews? No dealer where I live has one was hoping you could do a video showing them to us

You've done the Sequel 33 and the Consequence now let's we the Sequel 31

Would you choose this over the Bear Whitetail Maxx or the Bear Adapt+?

Anyone know the fps this bow would pull at 60lbs? Is it a 10 -15 fps difference by chance?

How are you going to yoke tune with a two-piece cable? Order a one-piece cable and serve in the black plastic splitter?

Well hell yes you will be sending one to kauai hawaii very soon

Now review the Obsession Bone. $799 MAP

Can you guys review the new Obsession!

I want to buy a new index release from you, but I don’t know what to get. Can you do a review on your top 10

Can you do an obsession bow?

Looks like a great bow, really ticks all the boxes

Your getting really comfortable in front of the camera. Hope to meet you some day. Fr canada so probly not lol

Great review

Could you look at the PSE Brute ATK

Are you planning to review the Darton Emergence?

homerun for darton something I can get a grand kid to start with and pass to the next...

I though it did have integrate rest mount

Can you ship this bow

Lol you should build on and take it to tac and shoot it against Dan that would be fun right

That is one Quiet bow....

your bow review are just great

Can you make a long ti hit style insert for .204?

Reflex looked very minimal on this bow.

This or a 2022 Athens vista 31?

Thank you

If that bow was 33'' it would be perfect.

Terrain vs consequence?

Best mid price is last years flag ships

Bears lineup under $700 is also pretty decent......

Vs Torrex what would you say boss?

29.5 ata “forgiving”

90% of the hunters don’t even need a bow anything close to what this bow offers.

You didn’t talk about the grip at all, did you?

Your welcome. 😂

Have to give a 5 on speed! If the criteria is being within 10 of the advertised speed, this has to be a 5! Too much inconsistency and subjectivity in this scoring system!

HEY MFJJ READ THIS!!!!! I believe I found a flaw in MFJJ’s speed tests against the IBO rating. He does not factor in String accessory weight (silencers/damper, dloop), let off settings etc. I’ve went and reviewed all his reviews and researched the string accessory weights (without knowing what let off settings he’s using) but I can tell you when you start adding things up you start creeping very close if not bang on the factory IBO specs. IBO specs are bare string only, are they not??? I’m saying this in hopes someone can bring attention to this matter so that he factors these variables into his reviews. If not he should disclose he’s not being totally honest or thorough with his speed comparisons and scores against the IBO rating. HEY MFJJ READ THIS!!!

I do like your objectivity but... Hold on...time out... Mathews lift was 13 fos slower than advertised and got a 4/5 for speed...this was spot on IBO and got a 4 also ??? The features score seems low...granted. not alot of features but is $699 for goodness sake.
