Target block for my crossbow.

Mike - I don't know if you are aware of it but Horton has gone out of business - sold to Long Point - I was at a Cabela's the other day to buy some bolts - after I asked the salesman if they put new strings on crossbows he said that you probably have to have one made up special by some bow shop - I have a Horton Legend XL - make sure you wax the string after 5 shots so you don't wear out the string - Horton crossbows were always very good and were one of the first companies that got into making them - I wonder why they went out of business -

Thanks Joe...I had heard rumours a few yrs back they were in trouble....I see that Tenpoint bought out the business when they were down :( link: http://www.examiner.com/article/tenp...rton-crossbows

There are a few places that make custom strings to the Horton part numbers...so I'm still good to go :)

I don't really see a point to practicing with anything other that field points if you are using mechanicals when hunting.

Just because your broadheads advertise same as feild point, let me assure you you need to shoot them a little to know where they will hit. I also go as far to cull my bolts because three bolts purchased out of the same box sometimes will shoot differently from one another.

I have the rhino target, best one I've had yet by far.

I just picked up the Rinehart xbow-2-go target for my matrix 380 cause I'm tired of my bolts burring themselves or passing through my old target and wrecking the fletching's. I hear good things about the Rinehart targets and will post my results once I get a chance to test it out. It definitely seems a lot more solid or dense then my previous targets.

So far so good, Shot my PSE DNA SP bow last night with field points a couple times at about 10 yards for s and giggles, the Rinehart xbow-2-go stopped them about 6"-8" in.
