I believe they are in Ohio too Phil maybe wronge but thinking I heard that or read it.

Yeah up here our neck of the woods just south of route 224 off of either route 43 or 44..... I get those too screwed up sometimes lol.... Been too the ten point plant as well and they're top of the line when dealing with customer service....

Good article Dianne, thanks for posting....

Hopefully they'll make a go of it and bro g ba k the Horton reputation that they once had...

Maybe they just tried too hang with the big boys and cheapened the product too much and it paid the price.... Regardless I just hope The company can bring ba k the Horton name and make it an Ohio company again....

May want too get a line on a spare set of limbs from my experience..... Hopefully Rick will. Home in he's more knowledgeable then I on the Horton line....

Limbs do seem too crack on a regular basis on certain years models...

TP bought all the stock so they should have spare parts and I would imagine there's still a lot of parts out there on someone's shelves too be purchased....

Bought Garrett a Horton last year thinking I wouldn't need to worry about them disappearing. Kinda glad we had an issue last year with the limbs. They replaced them with no issues in a reasonably timely manner. Going to have to be real careful with that thing and cross my fingers we don't have any other issues.

FYI. Tenpoint posted they bought the name and tools. All else is gone. You have one and need parts, your screwed. TC never bought them. Greg Ritz bought Horton when he sold TC for $100mil CASH to S&W. During that time period is and when shit was sent to CHINA and a lot of other things transpired with Ritz and then just a few short year or two later Horton is out of business.. No big shocker cuz most of their stuff wasn't very good compared to TP, but there were some good stuff that came with lifetime warranties.
