Guys, I've spoken to ppl at Horton, and yes, they did open a factory in China. At this time, they cannot commit to us what models will be made where. They have said that their own ppl will be overseeing the China factory, and that it was built for them, they aren't just licensing out their name to Chinese junk, FWIW. One thing that was noted to me was that they 'KNOW' that all the other brands are using some Chinese sourced parts, and at least Horton is being honest about it.
I'm not happy about it either, so don't attack me, just giving you the info I heard from the horse's mouth.

To clear things up, we have never approached any company in China to build our crossbows nor did we provide anybody with "blue prints". We would not have invested in CNC machines and buildingif we were thinking of getting a Chinese company to build our product. Excaliburs crossbows are 100% made in North America!
