The time came for me to go to a typical crossbow to keep deer hunting with a bow. It was getting more difficult to hold my Hickory Creek vertical crossbow up with my left arm for any length of time. So it was switch to a typical crossbow or quit. Of course the scope helps.
Being able to buy at wholesale dealer cost made it easier and even with a reduced sale price. I went with the Horton Storm RDX and the Acudraw crank cocking. Came with the Horton 4x32 scope with 4 cross lines for 20-30-40-50 yds. 3 arrows and a quiver.
It went together easy enough. Shot at 20 yds and scope was only about 2" to the left. Corrected that after couple shots hitting a 1x1" square I moved to 30 yds. It shot 2" high and a 1" to the left. Corrected that and was hitting the 1x1" square every time.
Tomorrow I'll check the 40 and 50 yd accuracy. Not that I will shoot that far I just have to see how it does.
My only complaint is Horton puts a designed crossbow scope that has 1/2" click adjustment at 100 yds. They know no one shoots a crossbow that far so why the 1/2" clicks at 100 yds? I guess it's just cheaper to use a off the shelf rifle scope and put a crossbow aiming points in it.
