Wildwindom what means "DITTO"?
Wabi, probably you have reason, but DP2 laminated multilayer limbs is a modern technology. We will see.

Unless they have improved their trigger/latch system it will probably have a poor trigger pull and the bottom release claws do nothing to promote accuracy. I've owned Horton compounds and they were not that great.Matthias72 wrote:

DITTO means:
Me too, I have the same opinion.
I think and feel the same as you do.
SOMETHING DOESN'T ADD UP
Did you notice that although the powerstroke is 1/4" longer on the Hortons, that the speed rating (350 & 330 fps) for the 225# and 200# respectively, are the same as Excalibur's Exomax & Exocet 200, when using the same weight (350grain) bolts?
However on the 175#, although the powerstroke is only 14", the speed (310fps) is the same as the Exocet 175#, which has a 15 1/2" powerstroke, and that rating is when using with a heavier (406 grain) bolt.
How is that possible?
Either their models use different parts/limbs or their claims/ratings are erroneous.

Very interesting question!
It could be possible only if the integer surface (below the traction curve) changes during the traction: so until nearby 14 inches Horton limbs store more energy, after Excalibur limbs surpass Horton, as I show on this drawing (not in proportion):

I would not call it a copy really.
I found a mistake in the arrow ballistic page, anyone else see it?
Heck of a nice brochure, but you can have horton xbow's, I will stick with the excal.
I think xbow manufacturer's are missing the boat on what hunter's really want. I think a short light xbow is what they should be going for. Heavy draw weight and short power stroke is the ticket in my opinion. Something like the paradox in a 200# draw would get my checkbook out.
