DANNY M · 09-23-2006, 06:41 AM

I am going to go out today and try shooting some...I am leaning towards EXCALIBUR now after all I read about them,but I know I need to shoot them...I did see on bass pro shops web...they have a HORTON SUMMITT package for $279.98...thats about $200 cheaper than the EXCALIBUR and the PARKER...I am on a tight budget and $200 cheaper would help alot,but is it a good bow or junk...says its 150lb pull 260 fps...it is a HORTON,but is it the bottom nd model...I know I need to shoot it,but if it shoots ok ...should I go with it ...or is it gonna fall apart on me or will I have to re-sight it in every 2 or 3 shoots....$279.98 sounds mighty good if it will get thr job done

AS you said it is the lower end of the horton line. You will kill deer and be able to make tight groups with it. But I think it is low enough to not have the talon light trigger. So you may be unhappy with the trigger pull. Just try and shoot all of them before you buy. Each bow feels different to every guy. Will it fall apart? I doubt it. just keep quick service in mind. You can get it with horton, and I hear excal has a guy here in ohio that has everything and always uses next day air mail. Good luck!

Danny, if that CB is in your price range and you like the way it feels and shoots, grab it. I don't understand all this hype about trigger pull, but if a CB shoots accurately what's the diff? JMHO

Hey Dan, wal-mart has 2 of the Hortons. Summit outfit about $250 and Explorer HD fer around $290 they should have all but B'Heads. Wal-mart also has the PSE Copperhead here fer $250 outfit. They will all kill deer if u do yer part, and do it out to 30-35 yds. Hey get those wheels rolling bub!

Its hard to shoot a CB accuarately at thirty yards when you pull on the trigger so hard you catch your self leaning back some! All of the hortons are pretty good, but I shot a ten point once that I thought I was going to have to put a wench on it!

If i had to have Horton CB outfit and could afford it. I would get the Legend HD 175 very nice CB. Excal Phoenix and Vixens can be had between $ 300 - $360. Then u get what u must have arrows and B'heads a rope cocker is nice and a stringer fer $450 total.U wouldhave everythingu need to get thru this years deer season. Kill yerdeers and build on a quality CB outfit after i could afford it. Thats what i did with my Phoenix! [8D]

I was gonna post but have decided to leave this alone,,

one thing I will add is you get what you pay for ........

htoler · 09-23-2006, 07:57 AM

another thing I will add is that if you do some reserching here on the forum that most all agreeded that the best manufactured recurve crossbow on the market is an Excalibur and the best manufactured compound crossbow on the market isa Tenpoint....

check out some of the previous discussions on this..

To each his own, I find it easer to co-exist than to bicker back and forth.
