Horton CB - pinning the mount ?
I recently bought a Horton Legand 175 with Dial-a-Range feature. Many of you recommend locking or pinning the dial-a-range so it can not move from a locked setting. My question is - how is this done? Any detailed help will be appreciated.

RE: Horton CB - pinning the mount ?
I saw two methods posted, have never done this myself, the best was on AT last year, I'll go ask for ya as I don't see your user name there, it was the best as you didn't have to permanetly[sp] alter the bow. The other way is to drill a clearance size hole in d-a-r knob for a self tapping sheet metal screw into the rail. I forgot who posted the easy fix there, but know it involved a wood dowel and a longer screw. Maybe some of the Horton guys know.

Here's one:
Ok Guys I Shoot a Horton. I have taken the scope off and you can take the rail off under the rail there are two screws attaching the non piviting part to the stock. Remove the back screw and put the piviting part back on. Then put the dial range to where your 20 line works IE 1 or 2. Then take a long screw and put it right through the piviting part into the stock it will lock the Dial range where ever you set it before installing the screw. then just use your multi range and forget the dial range. That seems to be the best solution and it stays solid for ever.. Good luck [/align]__________________

Stop it guys. Real question, real answers.
If you own a Horton with a dial-a-range you know this is a serious issue. The first thing I would do, is remove the scope rail and pull the plastic plunger rod. I would then roll a couple small pieces of black tape to jam infront and behind the pivot point. By eliminating the movement via that blasted dial, the bow will be much more fault tolerant.[/align]__________________
