I've also never heard of it. Seems kinda fishy to me. The description says it has a 100,125, 175, and 250 yrd pin, and is acuratley sighted in to 200 yards. I dont know but this part seems really fishy. And the fact that noone else has heard of this bow and it supposedly shoots 320fps. You would think if it was that fast ore people would have at least heard of the bow.JMO.

RE: Anyone ever heard of this?
tell me about it, 250 yrd? accuratly? i have played around before at 100yrds, and i though that was crazy. there is no way in hell that 250 yrds and acurate with a bow shouldeven be in the same sentence.

RE: Anyone ever heard of this?
lol yea I would never think about shooting over 60. But I just thought it might make a decent cheap bow. And I can't find anything on any search engine about them. That doesn't happen very often.

RE: Anyone ever heard of this?
I just googled it in every possible way I could think of, and I got Zip. It would seem that it does not exist. The only hit I got on it was the e-bay listing for the bow, so obviously I made good searches, but I got nothing. And, I will go so far as to step out on a limb, and say there is not a bow out there that can shoot 250 yards, with that one sight andset ofpins. I don't think you can have a 1 - 30 yard pin and a 250 yard pin on that one little sight. I think you should pass on this one.

RE: Anyone ever heard of this?
Yea I have shot 100yds a couple times, and from what I recall You would need a sight pin down where your lower cam is. You would need about 12 of those sights attached together. This seller needs a reality check. I think I will tell him about his lies. Then I will also get in his face a little bit about his 75.00 shipping charges.I betI could fed-ex myself to california from michigan for 75.00!!

RE: Anyone ever heard of this?
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
|
RE: Anyone ever heard of this?
"just say no"
|
RE: Anyone ever heard of this?
yeah its definatly a scam or something.. it doesnt even look like that bow can shoot 250 yards... and i guarantee u it isnt a 1000 value...
|
RE: Anyone ever heard of this?
200 yards its completly impossible, a bird flying by will make enough wind, to throw the flight of the arrow of 20 feet.

RE: Anyone ever heard of this?
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. |
RE: Anyone ever heard of this?
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" |

[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.
