Hello all, I'm new to the forum and to crossbows.  Heck, truth be told, I'm new to hunting.  I did get one button buck last year and another this year with modern gun, but nothing with my compound.

I've used this site to help in my selection of a crossbow and just received my Horton Vision 175.  I've shot it a couple of dozen times and it seems like it is far better than I am.

Anyway, I look forward being a member, you seem like good folk.

Hi jjboggs55
Welcome to the Crossbow Nation.
I found in my early archery years that the equipment out shot my ability and still does
many years later.
So have fun and live with this problem.

Welcome from another member living in the beautiful Ozarks. I live a little east of Branson in Theodosia. Maybe some day we will be able to meet. I don't have a bow of any kind  . . . someday though.
