The Shadow is a discontinued midrange certified in December 1990 (PDGA cert 90-06), from the era when Discraft's mids ran big: its PDGA record lists a 22.1-centimeter diameter and weights up to 183.4 grams, dimensions no modern midrange carries. It flew in the early-90s bags alongside the same-year Tracer and the 1992 Marauder before the mid row slimmed down toward modern sizing. Long retired, it carries no published flight numbers here, and surviving copies belong to the vintage-collector shelf.
