I work at two military bases in San Antonio, Texas. I am also disabled and try my hardest to work, but am limited due to my conditions. I have had several surgery's and can no longer draw a bow or compound bow. So I too, would like to test your product. Deer season is flourishing here in Texas and South Louisiana, so I have the ideal places and other disabled vets to hunt with.

Well Im not to sure how or what type of Crossbow I should invest in Being im just going to be starting out because They are going to have biggame hunting opening up in New.York State to Crossbow hunting for The first time Starting in 2011 and 2012 Season I think they are trying it out to see how it works and also to cut down on Live ammo and guns Atleast thats what I think so im going to be in the market for a crossbow but need some insight from other hunters who use the Crossbow of what type or kind would be good for me for deer and bear hunting being I will be just starting out Thanks For your time .David From Troy,New.York

I would like to test this product. I do mostly stalking which requires maneuvering through thick ground cover. This design may (or not) be ideal for that. No more dropped and/or lost bolts would be very nice. My main question is..."Is it quiet?"

I have recently bought one of these bows. The reverse limbs make it great for tree stands and ground blinds.
It is heavier than a recurve bow by several pounds but the reverse limbs give it a well balanced feel with most of the weight to the rear.
It is also the only compound crossbow on the market that the string can be changed in the field.
With string cocking sled the bow is very easy to cock on the ground. I have even cocked this bow in my tree stand although I would not suggest it if you suffer from vertigo.
I looked at all kinds of crossbows before finally settling on this bow. It no time to site it in (about Hr) and was very accurate at 20yards I 3 bolts in a ¾” circle in no time, At sixty yards I had groups of 3 in.

I bought this crossbow last year right before deer season started in Ohio and I gotta say it's hands down the quietest, most balanced crossbow I've ever used and with my SlickTrick 100 grain broadheads it hits the target like a jackhammer

One thing I did not see mentioned about this bow is that it is one of the quietest production crossbows on the market. The new limb design makes vibration much less as well. Bravo Horton!

Reminds me of an Oneida Eagle.Sure hope it isn't as noisy as the Oneida was,otherwise,you'll scare every animal away in a 1 mile radius,and that isn't good at all.

I do NOT recommend this crossbow due too the extreme angle of the string after cocked became frayed by cocking device.... also noticed my bolt (arrow) drop (lob) at just 20 yrds. I prefer either Excalibur or Parker crossbows.

I shoot mainly compound bows but would love the opportunity to Field Test the Horton Vision 175 Crossbow, so I could compare the difference between the bows.

Wow, lots of people want to test this product. I am new to Oklahoma, moved here from California and never had much chance to hunt. I now have the time and the availability of land to hunt and would love the chance to test this product. I have recently purchaced a Remington 700 (308), love it and love the outdoors.

I currently hunt with a Horton Super mag. It is fast and accurate but it is heavy, I would like to ttest this crossbow from my tree stands and also from the ground. All my hunting is done in heavy woods and my shots gan go out to 40 or 50 yards.

I would like to test this product but I know I won’t get a chance to because I haven’t gotten anything in almost 2 years and they were cheap $1.00 items that you get to use once. So I spend over $2000.00+ to become a Trophy Life Member and pay for over price books and coins that I didn’t have the money for but figure I would have a better chance of getting something good but I didn’t. So when I said do not send me anymore books and coins I guess they didn’t want to send me anymore field test products because I’m not helping Mr. Miller and his buddies get to go on these great hunts. I join up for the magazine and free test product because I can’t afford these things but was extremely disappoint when all you get is cheap items at least the magazine is really good
