Darton Launches New Bows with Patent Pending Technology

With next year being the 75th anniversary of Darton Archery, Darton has once again taken the lead in cutting edge advancements in bow technology. This time in Timing and Tuning! The new Sequel ST2 series of bows, available in 31”, 33” and “35” (NEW) axle to axle bows all come with patent pending Perfect Timing and Perfect Tuning technology. With a completely new approach to the age-old issues of timing and tuning to a perfect “bullet hole”, all without the need of a bow press, Darton has taken, what has been typically a potentially very long process, down to just a few minutes. All you need is a simple allen wrench.

Darton President Randy Kitts said, “With the timing marks clearly laser engraved on the cams, the infinite adjustment of the cables by using the perfect timing system, getting a bow to a perfect timing location is a breeze!” He continued, “Also, the ability to adjust the pressure on the limbs incrementally to adjust a paper tear, without having to use a bow press, everything just got easier for dealers and consumers to get the utmost confidence that their bow is perfect.”

The Darton timing and tuning technology will be available on the new Sequel ST2 bows, The Exodus Pro, and Exodus Short Draw (SD), the Departure Pro, and Departure Short Draw(SD) bows.

Federal Judge Says NY’s Private Property Carry Restriction is Unconstitutional

A federal district court judge in New York has ruled that the state’s restriction against concealed carry on private property open to the public is unconstitutional, handing a victory to the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) in a case known as Christian v. James.

U.S. District Judge John L. Sinatra, Jr. issued a 43-page decision in which he observed, “The Nation’s historical traditions have not countenanced such a curtailment of the right to keep and bear arms. Indeed, the right to self-defense is equally important—and equally recognized—on then vast swaths of private property open to the public across New York State.”

Judge Sinatra further wrote, “The State maintains there is ‘extensive historical support spanning the colonial era to Reconstruction and beyond that forbade carrying guns onto others’ property without their permission. But the State fails, on this historical record, to demonstrate that the challenged restriction is ‘consist[ant] with a well-established and representative National tradition.”

SAF is joined by the Firearms Policy Coalition and Brett Christian, for whom the case is named.

“As we’ve said all along, the ‘sensitive place’ carry restrictions imposed by New York post-Bruen are unconstitutional. Hard stop,” said SAF Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack. “We are thrilled that once again, the courts have agreed, and sent this amoral and unlawful ban packing.” Read more

Blind Faith Leads to North Carolina

Charter Member Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA)

Last-minute preparations are underway for my plan to head to the South to lend a hand in the effort to help folks survive the elements thrust upon them by Hurricane Helene.  I’m leaving my computer behind, so there’ll be no postings to this site until I return.  When that is, will have to be determined only after working my way into the mix, whatever that means.

I’ve been fortunate to have lined up a contact and a shelter, after initially signing up with Samaritan’s Purse; however, I couldn’t arrange for accommodations with them, but their personnel directed me to two churches in Black Mountain, NC and the Black Rock Baptist Church answered the call.  The pastor says there’s no running water, but that’s a familiar setting for this experienced outdoorsman.

With that in mind, I’ve meticulously checked off items on my camping list, – Yes, I am a believer in lists.  My 22 year-old GMC pickup truck simply cannot be relied upon for such a mission, so I will pack as much as I can into a Chevy Equinox.  That rear area is more than one would think, but with the seats down, it makes for a great cargo area.  I’ve already staged myriad equipment and supplies in the garage, and it will be interesting to learn if it’ll all fit.
