I think the yardage is a typo, c 'mon that should be obvious. The bow looks to me like some sort of Martin, I could be wrong though

200 yards its completly impossible, a bird flying by will make enough wind, to throw the flight of the arrow of 20 feet.

the horizon bows were sold in the late 1990's. they were the old oregon bow company. we sold them at our shop in ky, i dont recall ever selling one. i did shoot one in the shop. it was very fast, but couldnt say about accuracy. i am sure the sight settings are incorrect. it would be possible to set a pin for 200 yards i guess, but i cant imagine trying it.

if you take a close look at the rest, it is genuine old school overdraw......kind of dates the bow.

How about 320fps with alum arrows? I e-mailed the clown that listed this bow about his claims about the speed and letoff, etc. Here's what he said......

"
as i stated i cant pull the bow back to check it and i know that once it was pulled back it didnt feel like i was holding much wieght at all i havent been able to shoot it for the last 2 years and was told recently i will more than likely never pull it back again so it is now crossbow time if i wish to archery hunt"

Default firehawk

[QUOTE=bucketmouthhauler;1763798]A horizon firehawk bow? Somone is telling me they are great bows and are about as fast as anything on the market. Are they any good? thanks[/QUOTE. The Firehawk was introduced in 1997 by Horizon Archery. It was a "Tank" of a bow and very fast (320 fps IBO). The firehawk was quite heavy. All in all it was a very good bow. The company went out of business shortly after 2000.

Oops! Didn't pay attention to date. Oh well, better late than never? Or maybe not.
