    I have a Horton and 95% of the Bowhunters here do.They have been around a long time and probably will in business for many years.I would think they have 75% of the market.If you need a repair part or new string or cable,it will probably be easier to acquire.

    I am confused at times.We park on driveways anddrive on parkways.

    I've been bow hunting for over 15 years now and I have had a few
    different kinds of crossbows. I've shot PSE and Horton. In my
    opinion the Horton bows have an all around better proformance.
    I had a Horton Hunter got rid of it and bought a Horton Legend,
    don't know what one I liked the best they shoot about the same.
    I have a red dot scope on my crossbow and I wouldn't shoot it
    any other way, although some people don't like the red dot scopes.
    If you buy one I recommend you take it to you local archery shop
    (if you didn't buy it there) and have the right broadheads and arrows
    fitted for your crossbow.
