It is made from the highest grade components and constructed from solid aircraft billet alloys. Developed over the last year, Horton began delivering the reCon 175 late last year.
This is the most unique crossbow on the market today. Small, compact, quiet, it delivers all the speed and power any hunter would want or need - for more information click on “NEW RECON 175″ below.
