Alrighty, i did a little scouting at a sportsman's show near my town. I saw Horton has a sweeeet bow, it's all one piece machined aluminum, but the cool part is that the limbs are backwards, it's very compact! the bad parts, it's kinda heavy, it's expensive! 1500, and you have to use a rope to cock it. I saw parker has a new crossbow, it's pretty neat, it's very well balanced and it's got an adjustable butt on it. Horton is also coming out with a new line of vertical bows! I like them pretty well, might have to get myself one! well, after i wack a few with the bow that don gave me! thanks don, shoots great!
