I purchased this a few days ago from Amazon for a great price with awesome delivery and so far it seems like a good buy. Like other reviews said, the quiver broke right away due to bad design. Thus the 4 stars. As I said it was a bad design right out of the box. As far as accuracy it seemed to dial right in and hold a tight patteren. Plenty of power and accuracy makes this a great bow for the money. We'll see how this plays out as I put more miles on it.

*(Update)* After I called Horton, they sent me an updated quiver mount for free. The first one was part of a bad batch. Great customer sevice !

My only complaint about this crossbow is that the quiver attachment is troublesome. I stripped the nut out of the plastic attachment used to hole the plastic connector on for the quiver. All the important stuff (the sight, the firing process, string, etc) works great and is very very accurate right out of the box (even after shipping!). Again, the cheaper plastic connection between the quiver and the bow can easily be stripped accidentally and is pretty much impossible to fix without just accidentally stripping the plastic connection again.

Why Horton would design the cheap cheap attachment that holds the quiver to the crossbow I don't know. Mounting nuts strip out of the quiver block very easily and no fix that I can see. I would hesitate to ever purchase another Horton product based on the cheap design of this attachment.
