Description
This Horton HD 175 compound crossbow features a split-limb design with a camouflage-patterned stock and a thumbhole grip. The frame is constructed with a foot stirrup and a trigger assembly. A yellow and black adhesive label on the stock reads HD 175 with a circular target logo. The crossbow is fitted with a multi-reticle scope mounted to a rail system; the objective bell of the optic is marked Crossbow Scope SSO47 Horton Manufacturing Company, Inc. and the eyepiece bears the white printed Horton logo. A silver-toned metal plate on the frame is stamped MADE IN U.S.A. above the serial number E 22559. Safety and maintenance warnings are printed on the limbs. The bow features a synthetic stock with an integrated cheek rest and a black rubberized buttpad.
Condition report:
The crossbow shows significant signs of use and environmental exposure. Heavy surface rust and corrosion are visible on the scope mounting rings and screws (photo 7, 8). The camouflage finish displays scattered surface debris, dust, and minor handling scuffs throughout the body. The string is in poor condition, appearing frayed, unraveled, and detached from its proper orientation at the pulleys (photo 4, 5, 6). The mechanical function of the trigger and safety has not been verified.
