Title: Steelforce
Post by: Huntinbull on September 11, 2009, 06:59:40 PM
Ok fellas(and ladies). Need all the info I can get on a steelforce crossbow from Horton. Just got one in a swap and have some questions. First, can i take off the dinky red dot sight they put on at the factory and use a regular red dot? Second, What type of speed am I looking at with standard carbon arrows (bolts) and 100 gr thunderheads? Just a ballpark estimate would be good. Third, Anyone own one and like it? I know it is a simplistic thing, but got a good deal on it, so....

Hoping to hear something, well anything, about it soon.

Thanks for the reply and the great info. Wondered what the numbered "dial" on the side was for.
