Darton, Black Eagle and Conquest Win Big at Camp Minden

Pros and amateurs alike found great success at the Camp Minden ASA event held April 24-27 in Louisiana. It was an exciting weekend of shooting for all our Darton, Black Eagle and Conquest family of archers. Our Pro archers did extremely well, with Jacob Slusarz just barely missing the championship spot in Men’s Open Pro. Brady Hempen and Keith Ahlstrom won with our world class arrows, and Brady was also shooting Conquest stabilizers!

More exciting than all of that was to see how the amateur classes did so well with our family of products! Many of them winning with the “Trifecta” of all three brands!

“Our dedication to making the best products that truly work under pressure situations, is proving itself week in and week out at multiple archery events” said Randy Kitts, the owner of all three brands. He continued “From our precision tuning features on our Darton bows, to the world’s best made, consistent arrows, to our SMAC material in our Conquest Stabilizers, which makes them the lightest, stiffest stabilizers in the category, we put the behind-the-scenes effort in to make the best archery products we can.”

Please note the long list of amazing finishes below, and if you see these archers at the next tournament, be sure to congratulate them! To find out more about Darton, Black Eagle and Conquest, please see your local dealer or visit
