Well bob here goes for ya. I have always been a Horton man my self. Ishot a Horton Supermag for twelve years and now have a supermax and have never had any problems with Horton's. I have always taken care of myCB's and they have never let me down. Bernard Horton has been making bows for fifty years and has always made a great product. One thing I am willing to admit, (and Dan, Don, and Henry hold for this) is that I think Horton has been sucked into the wal-mart game. Both of the bows Ihave were the "top of the line" models at the time. But I think Horton has tried to expand there market share and to do this they teamed up with wal-mart and are now sellingbows that are not of the Horton standard and I would say they are "cheap" when I look at them. I would say any of the Horton's that have a machined aluminum barrel on it is OK, but the compositebarrel ones seem to be the ones with the problems. Like I say I have never had problems and the people I know have not either.

Nowthere is a good group of Excal guys on here that I know want to tell ya all about there bows. There is at least two of them that I would bet my life on that if they say good, then I believe it! The Excal is a re-curve design, and like they say, less parts has to be better. They like to talk about there bows, and I like to here it but sometime guys get jealous and jump on them so that is why they are quite, but after this post they should chime in. I love my Horton, its a nock buster and will buy them again no doubt, but if momma opened up the check book, Excal would be the next one I get. They seem to have great costumer service and them boys seam real happy.


And when I said some guys get jealous, I did not me Reb, he's been researching them for about six months now and someday when he reaches his findings will get one! And I am sure he will have lots of data to share.
