just wondering' would it be possible to upgrade the vision with havoc limbs and cam?????

Well, based on my 36 years of experience with Horton I would see a few potential problems with your proposed concept... Horton has always strongly objected to me just replacing a limb or limbs on one of their bows. They would send me an entire front end assembly as they view that as user replaceable, but not individual limbs. And it wasn't ever matter of cost, if I had a problem with a limb they would replace the entire front end free of cost to me. I think it might be a liability issue, if they sent you a limb(s) and you installed it (them) incorrectly the bow could blow up in your face possibly causing catastrophic injury and they don't want that kind of liability. Another issue would be tuning of the cams, which might be difficult for the average user. And cost might be prohibitive. Let's say Horton agreed to replace your limb assembly with Havoc parts but only if you shipped your bow to their shop. How much would that cost? I think probably more than $200.00... so, if you take your original $600.00-$800.00 Vision (depending on where you bought it) and then pay $200.00 or more PLUS SHIPPING, ETC., to get the upgrades you would probably be better off selling your Vision and applying those proceeds with the $200.00 you were gonna spend on upgrading the Vision and just buying a whole new bow. Then you have all the latest crossbow goodness and a brand new shiny warranty... and finally, speaking of warranty,  if you switched up your Vision with Havoc parts you might very well void your Vision's warranty, and believe me, YOU WANT YOUR WARRANTY. Now remember, these are just my opinions, I could be wrong, I was once.

Ok... just talked to Horton... you cannot switch out the limbs. The Havoc limbs are enough different from the Vision's that it won't work.
