Horton and Ten point, Step brothers?
 

This was one of the post that got wiped out but did not see if randy got to reply so I will repost. I had heard that the guy that started ten point used to work for Horton. Had the design idea for split limbs on a CB and Horton rejected it. He took his idea and a few people and started up ten point. If you look on the map the are right around the corner from each other, like only ten miles! So I know some others had posted they heard the same thing but just wanted to get it back up on the board!

Hotburn: Don't look like you are getting much response to your questions, lol. Prolly a matter of one kicked the other in the shins, but neither will talk about it, lol. I was gonna try a 10 pt.I wanted as close to the Pro-Elite as I could get, w/o all the safeties ect, just wanted the best trigger they offer on what ever model they call it, used. Seems they got more models than the number of guitar pickers in Nashville, lol, but they are trying to hit every budget and I don't fault them for that, it's the American way. well, it never happened, was supposed to, can't go there, but found the Paradox 1st. Figured what the he11, a wheel bows a wheel bow, the Pdox only being made 3-4 years might have some collector value, lol, like I'd sell an Excal, insert major chuckles here. Don't need the 10 pt no more, got the Pdox spittin em out at 317 fps w/ 431 gr arrows, inside 50 cent pieces at 30 yds. and, that's after I took the 1 1/2lb stabilizer off the front of the bow. Now, I'm thinking about a Horton. You know, something for rainy days or hunting in alot of mud, lol. You been a Horton guy for along time, what's their best mudder model? lol. Slow night, eh bud?

Well I just mainly wanted to see if randy could shed some light on it is all. I know I will not get a huge response since not that many people have ten points.:eek: But thought maybe some people might know.

Hot,
Sorry for the delay. i have been so busy at work that I have not played much at home.
You are partially correct. The COO of TenPoint was one of the founders of Horton here in the US. He had some ideas and concepts that he wanted to do, the other owners did not want to go that direction, so they parted ways. That is a very nutshell version, and I don't pretend to know all the details. It was a little dirtier then that I'm sure.
Many of the original ideas that have carried Horton to where they are today came from Rick. We are vry close to Horton on the map.

Was 10Point originally called "Hunter"? I own a Hunter brand crossbow but have not used it for 5 yearsbecausethe limb is splitting (i think) and habven't bothered to get it checked out.I use a different crossbow (Horton Super Sport) but am looking to upgrade.

Yes, We are still Hunter's Doing Business As TenPoint Crossbows

Randy, how did they come by the name10pt? Does it mean anything?

RE: Horton and Ten point, Step brothers?
 

We had the antlers when we were Hunter's and they just came up with TenPoint because it still matched the logo. The "Crossbow Technologies" part speaks for itself.
