I have a Horton 175 and just love it. Here are a few things I have added to make it my own Killing & Filming Machine. First I added wiskers to the string, along with limbsavers on the limbs, it seemed to make the quiet crossbow even quieter. Next I added a limbsaver slip on over the stock not for the kick but so i t wont slip off the shoulder. Just the other day I have added the Leupold Vendetta rangefinder, both the mount and the vendetta were gotten off Ebay.I also added the digital video camera, on the other side of the scope. In the one pic you can see how I attached the rangefinder button just behind and above the trigger. The camera was a bit of a challenge to attach but i used a expoy to attach the mount to the area above where the limbs attach to the cross riser for a lack of a better term. The camera is from Oregon Scientific, looking and watching on Ebay for a new update version. The camera can be removed by sliding it out of the mounting bracket thus allowing for the downloading of the days video shoot. All these changes/additions haven't even added more then a pound to the already light bow. I am so looking forward to spring gobbler season and next deer season, should be fun. One last thing i am going to do is get one of the top mount brackets to relocate my quiver from the front to over top the scope.

Hope you enjoy and like what I have done. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts..........I think...LOL

Nice set-up.Have you shot a video's yet?I can't wait untill the Havoc and Fury come out.Probably won't be here for spring turkey but should have it for fall season.Did you have any problems setting up the Vendetta ?

[honkerdown]

Setting up the Vendetta was very easy, had to use an aftermarket mount that connects to the rail under the scope. I also had to move the scope a little forward to allow for enough room. I found that on Ebay as well as the vendetta. I do have video from yesterday but files to big to post and dont know how to go thru youtube to do it if you email me at dadamsfs02@yahoo.com have no problem email to anyone taht would like to see.

I think this will work for the video link,there are two videos on the same page one is 20yds and the other is 40 yds. on the 40 you can see the bolts flight.

Dude... kudos to your innovativeness, creativity and budget! Nicely done... now you need a fold-down bi-pod on the front, a set of Horton Limb Tunerz, one on each side of the foot stirrup (helps with sound and vibration) and a grenade launcher...
