reckon we need to know the make of your CB. on the dot either its loose in the mount or maybe the dot has given up the ghost. early morning or late evening darkness and shooting. i am middle aged and my eyes are giving me fits need glasses. so i have found that a scope is what i always need you can't hit what you can't see!

well Horton experts lets get some info coming in please/ Hotburn76 your phone is ringing

Ok, I'll say it. You got an extremely low end entry level xbow. Hortons red dot sights seem to generate lots of questions. Few answers.

well guy's i wish i could afford a better one but i am on a fixed income . i only get 600.00 a month and have 2 kids and plenty of bill's . i did'nt pay for this xbow . i got it from my friend's at whitetailworld.com . i use to shoot a martin lynx compound bow until i become disabled in 1994 from a broken neck . i can only lift 10 lb's anything over that could put me in a wheelchair .

Thank's for the input and info awshuck's

i don't have a peep & pin that works on Hortons, mine is built for excals or i would give it to you. it has 2 screws holes in rear peep and the pin is dovetailed machined on a riser

Does it do that consistantly, or at random? Drawing the string off center would produce a random flyer, if it's consistant then a problem exists, probably a loose mount as sugested earlier.

The red dot on my Horton went bad this year too. I put a regular scope on it and haven't had any problems since. I think there is something going on with the red dots Horton keeps putting on their bows.

When they made crossbows legal in Georgia, I knew a lot of people who bought the Steelforce, and they worked out fine for them.
