I have been shooting a Horton Summit HD 150 for two years. It shoots very consistently and was only $200 with just the fiber optic sights. I purchased a scope for it, but never installed it. I asked around before I bought and kept getting pointed back to the Horton.
Congrats Zebra!!! You too.. jjason!! Nothing like helping your child drag that first kill out of the woods!! Way to pass along the addiction!!!
I have yet to get my first crossbow kill and haven't gotten either of my two sons involved in stick and string, but both have killed with a rifle!!
