horton crossbow
bought a horton huntermax 200 brand new from gander mtn last week. the thing is shooting high and low every time you shoot. 8 to 10 inch diff in shots. right and left never change.just up and down.they put a new scope on thinking it was that.still doing the same thing. the scope moves a 1/2 down and up everytime you shoot it.just wondering if that is normal with thedial system that they use. there sending it back to horton to see what is wrong. anybody have any ideas.

RE: horton crossbow
Yep had the same problem with mine. I took mine apart and tightened everything up nice and snug and now it don't do it anymore. Only thing I can figure out was there being to much freeplay before.
Had me almost pulling my hair out after every shot it seemed.

RE: horton crossbow
yeah i about turned that place into a carwash last wed. they wouldnt give me my money back and didint have another cb like that one to switch it out with. so i told them to send it back and get it right. they have a policy on bows no returns. i told them they should have sold me a good one. you pay that kind of money for somethingit should be ready to go.so im back to stick and string which is fine with me but they dont need to know that.

I went in Gander Mtn to buy broadheads , saw the price and left. The SAME exact pack of broadheads I bought from wal-mart for 6.49 was 12.99 in Gander MTN, I had to look at it and check the UPC just to be sure, I wonder what else they jack the prices up on like that.

RE: horton crossbow
Horton has great customer service, as you know gander mountain will be your problem. Most of the time people get there stuff back within a week when they deal with Horton, but going through GM I do not know how long it will take. It was a D-A-R thing, we see it alot in here. Your spring was off in it letting it move, or it was way to tight letting it not move and get stuck floating when shoot. You are also one of many who say GM customer service sucks! Sorry you are having trouble at this time!
