In medieval times, the crossbow was revered as an effective hunting tool, chosen for its awesome power, accuracy and relative ease of use.

With the development of the firearm, the crossbow faded into history, as hunters became proficient at taking game at long distances.

Almost half a century ago, Bernard Horton, an accomplished gun maker and sportsman, recognized that crossbows did not meet the needs of serious modern big game hunters. However, he realized that the crossbow had the potential to become an effective close-range hunting tool by today’s standards.

Horton began experimenting with crossbow designs in his workshop, creating crossbows for his own personal use. The word quickly spread about his amazing new designs and it was then that the Horton legacy was born.

From the very first models, Horton’s designs were rugged, compact and accurate. Horton’s unique blend of advanced technology and raw power brought the crossbow out of the dark ages and into the forefront of modern big game hunting.

Horton has defined crossbow technology and tradition for over 50 years. Combine our rich heritage and legendary craftsmanship with a passion for the outdoors rivaled only by an unrelenting desire to recruit more and more crossbow hunters, and you have a company poised to continue its industry-advancing legacy with unequaled vision and innovation.

The Horton brand has always embodied tradition and technologies that propel the crossbow industry to exciting new heights, and our engineers continue to lead the forefront of crossbow innovation. With a history of pioneering features like the accuracy-boosting Dial-A-Range rail design, Talon Trigger with M.I.M. components, Dura-Tip Integrated Yoke System, Perfect Adjustable Stock and Cheek Piece, Mult-A-Range Scope and Anti-Dry-Fire Technology, our exclusive designs and technologies enable us to advance the crossbow industry unlike any other company.
