This is a very good bow, and I had no problems with it. The OS-3 cam and string system was easy to adjust to meet my specifications.

The Encore Composite bow shows the same high quality that Horton cross-bows are knowen for.  This bow is lightweight, accurate, and durable.

ive got a bow my mom got for my 20th birthday the draw is to long for me but,i still use it bit i hunt with my girlfriends because i got it for here a year after we got together its a bear and the draw it great 28in to 32in my bow is at lest a inch more.i would love to field test this bow out its got to be a better bow a lighter than my bow is.i think this is what i need to make my deer hunting better and better accuratey.with my bow were the draw is to long it makes my shots off a inch.ive tryed fixing it at the range ive shot all day trying to line it to were iam dead on but it didnt work,because i cant get the let off so,that makes it harder to use.it would be great to field test this one.

I'm a bowhunter and not matter what new products come out you have to have a good setup. One that fits you and is comfortable. But it's always nice to try something new.

Would love to test this bow to see how it stacks up against my single cam PSE. Been looking at a new bow for a while, but planned on sticking with PSE. This could change my mind.

I would like a chance at testing this bow.I love shooting the old one that I have, just don't have the money to buy a new one because I'm raising 5 children & anyone who has kids knows where I'm coming from when I say they're expensive due to school supplies & everything else but their worth it

I would love to test this bow. had great success with my reflex this year but it weighs a bit much. I have MD and weight is big concern to much causes problems. Less weight i carry the better. Used to have all wood Browning split limb weighed like 3 lbs cant find one like that anywhere today.

I'm interested in the speed of the bow as it relates to the quietness of the shot. And on another note if I could get some comments of the bows size and compactness and if it feels natural in one's hands.
