Great price for the Horton 150 crossbow at http://www.horton-crossbows.net After reviewing several different brands of crossbows, features and price ranges, I settled on a Horton Summit HD150 for an entry level taste of crossbow hunting. Cabelas price is reasonable and the Horton package offered everything I thought I'd need to get my feet wet. I like Horton's style and long-time reputation. I was amazed at the ease of use, power and accuracy of the Summit. However, a couple of concerns: The 25mm single red dot scope that I received with the crossbow would not fully adjust for correct sight in (I've heard of this as an issue with other brands). The dot moved horizontally a little, but vertical movement was an arch. I compensated for this by moving the dot to center and using Horton's Dial-A-Range feature (a nice touch). The crossbow will group 3 arrows almost on top of one another at 10 yards. Second, after about 20 shots, the quiver mount fell off. The mount that attaches the quiver has 2 nuts embedded into it for a 2-screw attachment. Unfortunately, the nuts were buried only to just under the surface of the plastic material and had little to anchor to. It appears to be just a weak design. I've got access to a mill and lathe and intend to rework it so that the quiver will stay in place, but others may not be so inclined to tinker with it. As far as the non-adjustable scope is concerned, I may install a Weaver rail and put a better scope on it. I realize that what I purchased is an entry level crossbow package from Horton, and I'll make it work for my purposes, because I like its overall style. I'm looking forward to some good shooting after I get the "bugs" worked out.
