Go with the Vixen and you can't go wrong, it will keep its value and when you upgrade (almost everybody does) you can get most of your money back.

I just bought a Horton Legend HD 175,and I don't think you could go wrong with It either.Right out of the box I put It together mounted my scope,and took It out to shoot.It was dead on the money,never had to adjust the scope at all.They have them on sale at Bass Pro for $499,with the 4x32 Horton scope.

Neutron, I would not get anything with a DialA range if you are going to use a scope.

Martin what Is wrong with the Dial a range?My Horton has It,but when I shot It, I never moved It.Left It on 0,and at 10,20 It was dead on,at 30 It shot about 1/2 to 1 Inch low.I don't think you could ask for anything better,that you take out of the box,put It together and shoot and never have to adjust the scope.

Its hard to keep the scope set, the rope cocker sometimes rubs it and moves it, some people even lock them down to keep scope from getting off. I have a Barnett Revolution with the dialarange and evertime i got it out the scope was off, I finally had to epoxy it down. This is two ways Awshucks postedto fix a horton.

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

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.

I was thinking of using this older Tasco pro point red dot i have. that way ill be restricted to closer shots, and not over-confidant with a scope.

what type of broad heads would be suitable for xbows that are sub 300fps, like the Vixen ( i am leaning that direction) .

THANKS ALL! ian.

Welcome to the CB club! You will be happy indeed! Did you get a package deal or bare bow? One thing you need that I screwed up on is a stinging aid. It comes with a right stuff package. You can do it with out one, the video shows a fifty year old hunter doing it, but I feel I am going to break me or the bow in the process when I try it. Give us some details. Where and what price? Congrats again!
