Horton

Horton Archery pays homage to the history of the crossbow, the weapon of choice in medieval times because it was accurate, powerful and easy to use. With the advent of firearms, crossbows fell out of popularity as hunters went after game from longer and longer distances and warriors were able to attack from the safety of greater distances. Bernard Horton recognized that the crossbow of the past had the potential to be an exciting tool to be used by today’s hunters. He experimented with designs and began using his new creations. Word quickly spread about Horton’s designs because they were rugged, compact and accurate – just what big game hunters look for in a weapon. Horton had figured out the perfect combination: advanced technology and raw power. The company has a rich history of producing innovative products from the top quality materials using the finest craftsmanship available – and that is exactly what Horton is all about: craftsmanship. They are doing more than producing a weapon – they are producing a crossbow that is the best on the market, using the most advanced technologies available, in the most creative way, with the best materials.

You can trust the ballistic performance of your Horton crossbow when you are in the field. A sight system is enclosed with very crossbow, but if you prefer a red dot scope like the one you use on your rifle, your bow is ready to accept it. Some packages come complete with more advanced scopes.

The modern design of Horton crossbows is sleek and powerful, giving you exceptional speed and pinpoint accuracy. New crossbow shooters will appreciate the simple, user friendly function of Hortons, and experienced shooters will appreciate the advanced triggers and anti-dry fire mechanisms of Hortons. These lightweight crossbows are rock solid, so you will be able to acquire your target and take your shot with the confidence that these whisper quiet crossbows won’t spook your target.

Crossbow shooters appreciate the ergonomic, lightweight bows from Horton that are easy to cock, quick to load and easy to maintain. Archers, whether using traditional bows or crossbows, enjoy the challenge of getting close to their prey. People turn to crossbows for many reasons. Some began shooting at targets in the backyard with a secondhand recurve bow, some prefer the quiet of archery, some have medical issues that limit their firearm shooting (such as shoulder problems), some want to extend their hunting season, and some simply want the challenge of up-close hunting (check your local regulations). Whatever your reason for getting a crossbow, Horton has a model for you.

The Horton Eagle Youth Training Crossbow is perfect for young or new shooters. It is often used in school and after-school programs, but offers plenty of power for backyard target practice for the whole family. The Bone Collector and the Brotherhood both offer dependability, a stable launch platform, optimum speed and smooth arrow launch to help you bag your game. The crossbows come fully equipped to hunt, and are covered in a camo finish (green or Realtree) to keep you hidden from your prey. For those who prefer the traditional recurve design but want modern, dynamic performance, Legacy crossbow packages are lightweight, smooth-shooting and field ready. They’re also low maintenance. Experienced crossbow shooters who plan to bag big game trophies will appreciate the exclusive technology behind the Horton Vision, like Frontal String Technology and Reverse Draw limb design for speed, balance and stealth, and CNC machined wheels for amazing speed and knockdown power. Horton crossbows pack a punch, so you know you’ll be able to take down big game.

Horton Archery has been producing the most innovative crossbows available for over 50 years, so if you want to join those hunters who are discovering a most powerful, exciting way to shoot, add a Horton crossbow to your arsenal.
