Horton Crossbows. Anyone educated on their differences?
I had some great answers to my last question about crossbows. I did my homework and decided I want a Horton or Barnett and that I want a 150 or 175 lb. bow. I am leaning towards the Horton line. I notice there are different models such as the Legend, Legacy, Team Realtree, and Hunter, all of which I may be interested in. They all offer 150 and 175lb models--but what is the difference between them other than the name? Does anyone know? Please provide as much information as possible, or as they say, "tell me like i'm a 5 year old."
There is some difference in the products, I will do my best to explain them.
Legacy:
The main item about this line of crossbows are that they are traditional meaning they have recurve type limbs. It come with an adjustable stock that is very helpful. It also has a match grade trigger which is nice.
Legend:
This bow has cams at the end of its limbs. What this means is they are able to make the same power with having alot less limb hanging out. The only thing to worry about is that if you are hunting with the recurve type bow, the limbs may be an issue while walking threw the woods. The legend also has the same features as the legacy above including the match grade trigger. The Legend aslo has a more streamline type rifle stock instead of the typical crossbow style forearm.
Team Realtree:
This bow comes with many of the same features once again however, the limbs are fat body limbs and DO NOT CARRY the lifetime guarantee that the others do. Some of the things you will see on this crossbow are less quality controlled that that of the two above. It does NOT have an adjustable stock so if you go for it, make sure it fits you first !
Hunter:
The Hunter is almost identical to the legend. The main difference is that the Hunter has the main stream crossbow stock that most will have.
Quality ( Highest to lowest)
Legacy
Hunter
Legend
Team Realtree
and the prices should reflect that.
all in alll they are all excellent crossbows and MUCH better than anything that Barnett offers ! If you wanted to compare the Hortons to another brand, I would check out the Parker line of crossbows.
Hope this helps, Good Luck & Happy Shooting !!!
