I think that's the Horton recurve...

But as a first-year pro staff member with Horton Crossbows, Loya hopes this year's bear breaks all the Ontario records to date.

I am confused about what it says in the article and what I see in the picture. I believe that is an Excalibur crossbow in the pic but this is in the article.

I guess I was wrong I am not familiar with that Horton bow.

That is a Huge Bear

Would love to have one like that in the sights . The bow does look like an Excalibur . Need a better picture .

No question about it being a Horton Legacy ... at least I don't think there is!

Here's some of what I noticed:

It doesn't have Dissipator Bars. The features are all Horton. I blew it up to 21" diagonal ... there isn't any doubt.

Besides, the article said he was on Horton's Pro Staff.

Pro Staffers are slaves to the sponsoring companies ... guess I would be too if they paid for my gear and sent me on hunts!

No question about that being a big bear, either. 700 pounders aren't unheard of here, and an 880 is the record ... but that 780.5 Ontario bear is a whopper, sure 'nough. I bet he'd have made 900

down here where it's warm and they can feed year round.

Look close and you can see those funky dissipater bars . HORTON for sure.
