Got mine Friday and had chance today to start sighting in. Very nice shooting bow! Quiet, smooth drawing, all around solid bow!

I just opened a archery shop and am proud and honored to be a Darton dealer. Randy hooked us up and sent me a Spectra 32. Its pretty impressive guys. I feel this bow definitely will help get Darton relevant again. Jimmy Lutz shooting for them is also great. Anyways if you're around the SE area of PA I have one in stock!
Where in SE Pa?
 
Well I will say I sure hope it is very smooth and vibe free at that really heavy weight and mild speed. I mean in this day and age at the specs listed it has to be.

Shot one today and bow felt awesome!!!!!! Really did feel good and held even better on target! I think the e system is cool but not my cup of team but over all A+ on this bow

The riser does barrow from the technology found in barebow risers, in the way its weight is placed and the actual weight to make the bow more stable and to naturally dampen vibrations. This makes it have a really great feal for a compound bow. Its weight is no accident but is purposefully engineered for greater stabilization with short stabilizers, dampeners, or weights. Of course, you can use long stabilizers to if desired. Granted it is no speed demon but does have plenty of speed for good arrow trajectories 20 yards to 40 yards. Excellent for hunting. At 50M will require some arch in the shot, but so do target compound bows that are purposefully engenered for maximum accuracy at 50 M. with the equalizer yokes nothing will be as smooth as this bow. It is one of Darton's greatest patents. The bow is extremely quiet for a compound bow. I am sure an alerted animal will hear it unless there is a lot of regular ambient noise in the area. It is a reeally great bow.

I don't think it is that much different than some of the other more popular bows [revolt x , ventum 33 and v3 31] they are all within 5-6 fps and .4 pounds of each other plus the Darton has the highest brace height.
 
I have a 2018 Spectra E and it is probably my favorite bow. I also have a Chill R and the Spectra E is 5-7fps faster than my Chill R. I think I would really like the 2022 Spectra E or the Maverick. I'd like to see some cam tuning features on these though.

The 2022 Sprectra E32 is easy to tune.

I thinn the maverick xt is going to be able to be shimmed which I like more then the yokes on the spectra

I really liked the simplicity of the Maverick versions ( the ll and XT) . I think mod cam bows store better energy and perform better at each draw length. Rotating mods are just much more convenient. I’ve noticed that with the yoke system on the e cam that arrow spine is not nearly as critical as what you will see with some cams that fight lateral tears because of spine and cam reaction. Never had any issues with the rollers , but I think it’s always on your mind as a potential. I did have a couple Spectra cams that get really close to contact between the mod/cable stop and the let out side of the yoke harness. In those cases I just shimmed away from the contact and used the yoke for make up on the lean.

I had two spectra e when they first came out one had a lose cam bearing issue that made the bow very unforgiving and had two when u added twist to the right yoke they would draw right past the stops. They need to look at their deflections alittle better I feel in the hands of humans I have had to twist the yokes or shim the cams right to clean up right tears on the newer bows.

Where can you get the shims for the Spectra E? Do they make different sizes? Where are these available?

I'm pretty sure twisting the yoke cables on the spectra-e does nothing but shorten the whole cable the rollers would center it, come to think of it you can't yoke tune any Darton from the last couple of years.
